Listening to Ourselves: Experiences and Advice From Sex Addiction Therapists in Recovery

ABSTRACT This article presents the results of a descriptive survey of sex addiction therapists in their own recovery from sex addiction. The survey was distributed online. A group of 101 self-identified sex addiction therapists in their own recovery participated in the survey. In the survey, four areas of their experience were explored: sharing with others their specialty in sex addiction and their personal recovery, their use of treatment programs, their belief regarding the benefit of their professional work to their personal recovery, and their boundaries regarding sharing their personal recovery with their clients. Implications of the survey findings for sex addiction therapists are discussed.
