Find Hope, Healing, and Freedom from Sex, Love, and Porn Addiction
If you feel trapped in out of control sexual behaviors, you are not alone. Many people struggle with compulsive patterns such as pornography use, sexting, infidelity, escorts, hookups, or obsessive sexual fantasy and feel powerless to stop. These behaviors often create shame, secrecy, and guilt while damaging relationships, careers, finances, and self respect.
At Rediscovery Counseling & Coaching Associates, we provide Certified Sex Addiction Therapy (CSAT) in Memphis and throughout Tennessee and New Jersey. Our work is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and trauma informed for both the individual struggling with addiction and the betrayed partner. Therapy focuses on understanding what drives the cycle of addiction and building a clear, sustainable path toward recovery and healthier intimacy.
Do You Recognize These Signs of Sex or Porn Addiction?
Only a licensed professional can diagnose sexual addiction or compulsive sexual behavior disorder. However, the following patterns are commonly present in individuals seeking treatment:
• A cycle of out of control sexual behavior despite attempts to stop
• Escalating sexual activity to achieve the same emotional or physical relief
• Using porn, sex, or fantasy to escape stress, loneliness, or emotional pain
• Relationship conflict, secrecy, or betrayal related to sexual behavior
• Persistent guilt and shame followed by continued acting out
• Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
• Mood swings tied to sexual behavior or secrecy
• Hiding or lying about pornography or sexual activities
• Difficulty setting or maintaining boundaries around sex or fantasy
If these patterns feel familiar, you may be struggling with sex addiction, love addiction, porn addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior.
Why Choose Rediscovery Counseling in Memphis?
Many individuals delay seeking help because they fear judgment, labeling, or being misunderstood. At Rediscovery Counseling & Coaching Associates, treatment is grounded in clinical respect and professionalism.
Respect, Not Judgment. We do not shame individuals or couples. Therapy is focused on acceptance and change, not blame.
Trauma Informed Care
Betrayed partners are treated as trauma survivors, not as people who should simply move on.
Inclusive and Clinically Grounded. We do not pathologize sexual interests. Our focus is whether behaviors are harmful, compulsive, or disruptive to your life and relationships.
Personalized Treatment
We address the underlying emotional wounds, attachment patterns, and triggers that fuel addictive cycles, not just the behaviors themselves.
Our goal is to help you break destructive patterns, rebuild trust, and restore a sense of integrity and self worth.
Understanding Sexual Addiction
Sexual addiction, often referred to as compulsive sexual behavior disorder, is more than a habit or lack of willpower. It is an intimacy disorder where the brain becomes conditioned to rely on sexual behavior as a primary coping strategy.
Stress, unresolved trauma, loneliness, and emotional pain frequently activate the cycle. Over time, the brain prioritizes sexual behavior over relationships, work, finances, and personal values. Without intervention, the cycle intensifies, leading to isolation and emotional disconnection.
Recovery is possible. With appropriate support and professional guidance, therapy helps you:
• Identify and manage triggers
• Develop healthier emotional regulation skills
• Rebuild trust and intimacy in relationships
• Strengthen boundaries and self respect
• Reduce secrecy, shame, and compulsive behavior
