41. Eating Disorders Treats eating disorders, as well as chemical addiction, dual diagnosis, and sexual addiction. Provides a combination of cognitivebehavioral approaches to change behavior, with psychotherapy to determine underlying issues that cause and perpetuate the person's eating disorder. Information on eating disorders, screening, news, programs, training opportunities, and other resources. http://www.rimrock.org/html/eatingdisorders.htm

How do I know if I have a problem? Eating Disorders are serious medical/emotional and behavioral problems that occur when food becomes a compulsive mechanism for coping. People suffering from eating disorders believe that the use or control of food is necessary for the relief from uncomfortable moods and feelings. Eating disorders are serious medical/emotional/behavioral problems that require specialized, professional treatment. Destructive eating behavior can be triggered by external pressures to maintain a certain weight. What begins as weight-controlling behavior may end up as an eating disorder; bulimia (binge eating with or without purging), bulimarexia, or anorexia nervosa (self-imposed starvation). On the surface, the desire to be thin appears to be the cause of the disorder, but food is not the real issue. The real issues are underlying fears, doubts, insecurities, low self-esteem, and anxiety. The eating disorder victim believes that use or control of food is necessary for relief from uncomfortable moods and feelings. Food is a drug for the person with an eating disorder. When it is consumed in excessive amounts, it "dulls the senses and relieves the pain." Nationwide experience shows that eating disorder victims almost always suffer from depression. About sixty percent come from homes where there is a history of chemical dependency, and some experience family violence. Many have suffered some form of sexual abuse, and more than half of bulimic patients experience intermittent periods of substance abuse and are at high risk for chemical dependency.

42. Repentance For Sexual Addiction God wants to strip us of our illusions. Repentance for sexual addiction. Theprocess of dealing with sexual addiction is a process of repentance. http://www.pureintimacy.org/online1/essays/a0000025.html

Many of the illusions we design to find fulfillment are sexual. We believe that if only someone attractive will touch us with warmth, everything will be okay. God wants to strip us of our illusions. Repentance for Sexual Addiction The process of dealing with sexual addiction is a process of repentance. For some, the word repentance conjures up images of preachers pounding on pulpits, demanding that we get right with God and flee our sins. Consequently, it can seem more like an act of shaming than a challenge to move towards God. Yet repentance essentially means to change direction. It means to turn away from a focus on yourself and your own autonomy and toward God. Dr. Harry Schaumburg Give Us Feedback We want your comments Essays Bold Next Steps Christian Vocalist Shares Story of Struggle and Victory over Pornography Online RelationshipsStrange Love Repentance for Sexual Addiction ... Marks of Addictive Sex The real question isn't, "Are you sexually addicted?" The real question is, "Are you living your life by demanding that you fulfill your desires and avoid all pain?" A sexual fantasy stems from a desire to gain more in a relationship than is possible. It's an attempt to gorge ourselves with passion and move into a state free of any chance for disappointment. Simply put, we want to enter the Garden of Eden again. But the very desire to know the bliss of the Garden here on earth is skewed by our obsession with self. In demanding the bliss of someone's real or imagined warmth, we become consumed with ourselves, which destroys the very ecstasy we seek. There is no way out. We are locked in reality, always wanting and therefore always destroying what we want. The process is insane. Until we become consumed with the love that desires to give for the sake of another's good, all joy is an illusion.

This is a growing problem for thousands of families thatstruggle with the effects of sexual compulsion and addiction. http://www.pureintimacy.org/

An Internet saturated with pornography is making it alarmingly easy to bring sexual temptation right into our homes. This is a growing problem for thousands of families that struggle with the effects of sexual compulsion and addiction. Sexual images ranging from the seemingly harmless airbrushed nudity you find in "skin" magazines to violent, hard-core pornography are easily available to anyone with a computer and a modem. Plus, the interactive features of the Webe-mail, newsgroups and chat roomseasily connect strangers who share sexual interests, luring married men and women away from their families. Dr. James Dobson, president of Focus on the Family , is very aware of the psychological bondage and emotional pain that comes from the use of pornography because of his involvement with the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography in 1986. Every year, Focus on the Family corresponds with hundreds of families who have been impacted by pornography. Focus on the Family has created this Web site as a practical resource for individuals who want to overcome the grip of online pornography and affairs.

51. Sexual Addiction This concept of hypersexuality ties in well with Brown's (1991, p. 117)definitions of sexual addiction as compulsive sexual behavior. http://www.umkc.edu/sites/hsw/issues/sexaddict.html

Main Home Page Sex Issues and Solutions Home Page Sexual Addictions by Loren Drummond Index What is addiction Types of addictions What is sex addiction Treatment for sexual addiction I. What is Addiction? In fact (Peele, p. 981, p. 24) suggests that addictions: Tend to eliminate psychological pain/reduce personal awareness of such when the "addict" is acting out. Causes one to be less aware of, or pay less attention to problems in his/her life and thus precludes their dealing with problems constructively. When not participating in the addiction, mental pain is experienced upon thinking about his/her life. Reduced self regard, personal disapproval and lowered self-esteem generate further practice of the addictive behavior. The cycle is repeated - returns to phase one of cycle. We see, then, that addictions are comprised of these elements: Devotion, to the point of compulsiveness, to a mood-altering experience; a cyclical preoccupation with achieving the desired effects in spite of life damaging consequences.

Click here to review an actual case study in which Viagra was successfully used to treat "functional impotency". Loss of Desire Other problems in men with sexual dysfunction are inability to have an orgasm, and loss of sexual desire. Loss of desire can be a complicated issue, including physical problems, hormonal imbalance, or mental issues such as depression. It is important to understand the relationship the man is having with his mate. This can destroy desire, particularly if the mate herself is having her own issues. One or two counseling sessions can be very helpful. A plan can then be formulated to repair the problem so one can go on with a normal sexual life. Women Women also struggle with sexual problems, but usually it is not as obvious as men. The most common problems among women are lack of desire, failure to respond sexually, or inability to have an orgasm. Some women also struggle with sexual addiction.

Are his or her sexual needs causing problems in your marriage? Is sex with just you - no matter the frequency - simply not enough for him or her? Sexual incompatibility can wreak havoc in a marriage. Counseling may return passion and intimacy to a marriage, if both partners are open and willing to consider compromise and change. What happens, though, in a marriage where one partner is sexually addicted? When sex with a spouse is never enough, no matter the frequency. When pornography, multiple sex partners, constant self-pleasuring and other sexual practices are never enough? Now the problem has moved into a much more intricate and complicated place... one which will cause pain and sorrow for all family members. Being 'super sexed' is no cause for alarm if the two of you are on the same level most of the time. EVERY relationship is going to have its moments when partners are out of sync with each other. When the need for sex gets out of control for either of you and your relationship is in jeopardy NOW there's a problem.
