Sex Addiction Recovery Support

You’re not defined by your urges. You are not broken. You are a human being who deserves real help and real healing.

At TruPaths, we understand that sex addiction is not about shame—it’s about pain, pattern, and a search for connection that may have gotten lost along the way. Whether you’re struggling in silence or your relationships are breaking under the weight of compulsive sexual behavior, we’re here to help you find hope, healing, and dignity again.

What Is Sex Addiction?

Sex addiction also known as Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD)—involves uncontrollable sexual thoughts, urges, or behaviors that interfere with daily life, relationships, or emotional stability. It may look like:
Repeated affairs or risky sexual encounters
Obsessive use of porn, escorts, or online chats
Masturbating excessively to cope with emotions
Feeling "out of control" with your sexual behavior
Lying, hiding, or living in secrecy
Using sex to numb trauma, shame, or anxiety

Why Sexual Compulsivity Happens

Sexual compulsivity is rarely about desire, it’s a coping mechanism rooted in deeper emotional pain. For many, it begins as a way to self-soothe, feel connection, or escape internal distress. TruPaths helps uncover what’s underneath the behavior.

Trauma response or emotional escape:

Used to avoid pain or emotional overwhelm

Emotional regulation:

A coping mechanism for anxiety, emptiness, or low self-worth

Attachment wounds:

Stemming from abandonment, rejection, or unmet childhood needs

Early exposure or abuse:

Triggered by inappropriate or unsafe early sexual experiences

Mental health overlap:

Often linked with ADHD, bipolar disorder, or substance use disorders
