Problematic sexual behaviour...
When do we know when sexual behaviour is problematic?
We've all heard about sexual compulsion or porn misuse, but what exactly is it? How can we define it?
In this masterclass we look at complex childhood trauma and sexual abuse, as an explanation for problematic and distressing sexual behaviours in adulthood. We delve into the common cognitive distortions around sexual thoughts and behaviours that clients develop as a result of trauma, and how the erotic script and porn play a part in negatively reinforcing these.
