Sex Addiction

Today we're joined by Kate's friend Travis. From a wealthy family, raised in an affluent area, Travis seemingly 'had it all' growing up. For 28 years, Travis lived a heteronormative life and found himself unable to remain monogamous for any long period of time. Cut to a rehab in Thailand - Travis realised what he'd been running from and was diagnosed with 'sex addiction'. In this episode, Travis unpacks what it means to be a sex addict, including the societal stigma and what it looks like to enter recovery.
