Sex and pornography addiction is often accompanied by shame, secrecy and loss of control. The behaviour may continue despite harming relationships, work or self-esteem.
Peggy-Sue offers a safe way to look honestly at what is happening and what help is needed.
Signs include continuing to watch or engage in the behaviour despite wanting to stop, keeping secrets, crossing boundaries or seeking increasingly extreme stimulation.
Feelings of guilt often follow, after which tension can lead back to the same pattern.
Compulsive sexual behaviour can be a way of managing pain, loneliness, stress or emptiness.
Recovery therefore requires attention to emotions, relationships, boundaries and healthy connection.
Peggy-Sue helps open up a conversation about the pattern and find appropriate support.
Partners or family members can also receive support when trust and safety have been damaged.
You do not have to resolve this alone and in silence. Contact us for a confidential conversation.
Together, we consider the appropriate step towards recovery.
Together, we consider appropriate help: outpatient treatment, residential treatment, detox, intervention or family support. The pathway is tailored to the situation and its urgency.
"I had to choose between two evils. It was either call Peggy-Sue or choose my illness. The support gave me direction again."
