S2:E23- The Underbelly of Sex Addiction. This Is Recovery With Rob Watt and Dr. Kirsty Loudon

This is my first episode inspired by a few listeners who have been in touch with me to share how sex addiction has disrupted, or is disrupting their lives.  I went looking for answers only to find two world-class experts in the area of Sex Addiction: Dr. Kirsty Loudon and Rob Watt.  Dr. Kirsty, Rob and myself have connected a few times over a couple of months to organise the content for this episode. We have distilled the information into two key questions: "How do I know I have a Sex Addiction vs. A Healthy Sex Life?" and "What is in the underbelly of Sex Addiction?" - So we cover things like: what is going on?,  (which includes discussion of early attachment and sexual development), what would be helpful to understand about the nature of this?, and how can we help ourselves navigate our way back into healthy states?  Special thanks to Dr. Kirsty and Rob for the effort that went into this interview, and to Lucy, at Innisfree Therapy and her colleagues, who have made enormous contributions to the direction and structure of this episode.  About Innisfree Therapy:  Visit www.Innisfreetherapy.co.uk  Call in confidence +44 207 935 5333 You will find Innisfree Therapy on:  LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/innisfree-therapy-ltd/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/innisfreetherapy Instagram https://www.instagram.com/innisfreetherapy/  To learn more about Dr. Kirsty Loudon or Rob Watt, visit the About Page on Innisfree Therapy over here: https://www.innisfreetherapy.co.uk/about/meet-the-team/  ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Trauma Informed Growth Podcast explores Complex Trauma, C-PTSD and Post-Traumatic Growth through a business lens.  You can get a free PDF copy of Shannon's latest book "C-PTSD at Work: Highly Functioning, Secretly in Despair" on shannoneastman.com/cptsd-at-work, or buy the paperback on Amazon Worldwide for $9.99 US.  If you'd like to be a guest on the show, or share your c-PTSD story - have a look at the ABOUT section of my podcast website for details, and when you're ready, email shannon at shannoneastman dot com so we can set up an initial Meet & Greet.    Visit My Blog shannoneastman.com/blog Browse My Published Work shannoneastman.com/books Follow Me On: Medium @ShannonEastman-CPTSDatWork Twitter @ShannonEastman LinkedIn.com/ShannonEastman Facebook.com/shannon.e.eastman  #Entrepreneurs, #Founders, #Employed, #Self Employed, #High Achievers, #Chronic Stress, #C-PTSD, #Highly Functioning  #Recovery, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Co-Regulation, #Complex Trauma, #Emotional Dysregulation, #Self Regulation, #C-PTSD, #CPTSD At Work  #Addiction, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Body Work, #CPTSD At Work, #BrainBodyMindSoul  #Cptsd, #Mental Health, #Polyvagal Theory, #Nervous System, #Complex Trauma, #C-Ptsd
