About this listen

Anyone who has struggled with sex addiction knows that living with constant sexual compulsions can be extremely difficult. But summoning the courage to find help for this condition can be even more of a challenge. If addictions to pornography, strip clubs, massage parlors, prostitutes, phone sex, or chat rooms have made you feel trapped, this book can help you find a way to break free. Written by a former sex addict who specializes in counseling people who suffer from sexually compulsive behavior, Breaking the Cycle presents a step-by-step plan to enjoying a life of productivity and purpose.

You can free yourself from the powerful, compulsive urges that may have damaged your career, finances, or relationships with friends and family. The exercises in this book will show you how to regain control of your life and build meaningful intimate connections with others.

Great book

Great book! The bag of tools in this book are life changing for those with a sexual addiction. Having tried a 12 step program for sex addicts, this book is a good handbook for folks to have on hand as they do the program. I personally found the 12 step program too extreme for my situation; whereas this book with the tools and advice it contains was far more useful and applicable to my situation. The tools are many; with each addressing different aspect of sexual addiction and at different levels. If used well together, it packs a formidable punch into acting out. Doing the exercises I could see the results almost immediately. Great book highly recommend ! And a big thank you to the author!

Dangerous Book

This book is dangerous in my view. It strongly promotes the ideas that sex compulsively is due to some past trauma. It suggests that such trauma has led to "sub personalities". It makes you search for stories in your past to explain behaviours even when they may not exist or be significant. This in my view is psychoanalysis gone too far. There are other simpler and more practical explanations and approaches. I think the ideas in this book may explain the authors past addiction but may not relate correctly with average people who are struggling with porn accessibility in the porn pandemic age.
