Človeška spolnost je močna sila. Je zapletena in skrivnostna, verjetno se tudi zato toliko ukvarjamo z njo. Lahko je sila, ki zbližuje, lahko pa je tudi uničevalna. Družba je na področju spolnosti v zadnjih desetletjih doživela velikanske spremembe. Danes v spolnosti skoraj ni več omejitev, pogosto jo dojemamo kot potrošniško dobrino, saj živimo v svetu, v katerem seks prodaja skoraj vse. Spolnost lahko v določenih primerih začne povzročati težave, lahko ima celo hude posledice. Naraščajo namreč zasvojenosti s seksualnostjo, tudi z internetnim seksom oziroma pornografijo, ki je zaradi digitalne dostopnosti vseprisotna . Eden od največjih paradoksov pornografije se kaže v stiski, ki jo doživljajo v spolnosti predvsem mladostniki. V preteklosti so pornografske revije in posnetke uporabljali za raziskovanje spolnosti, pripravo ali zmanjšanje napetosti pred resničnim spolnim odnosom z drugim človekom in kot vir vzburjenja. Danes pornografija ne predstavlja vira spodbude k spolnim odnosom s partnerjem, ampak prej oviro, saj se ob resničnih partnerjih ne vzburijo tako, kot to lahko dosežejo s pornografijo. Raziskava Ministrstva za zdravje na Japonskem je pokazala, da velikega števila mladih fantov, starih med 16 in 19 let, seks z resničnimi ženskami ne zanima več ali pa do njega čutijo celo odpor. Število takih moških je od leta 2008 do 2010 naraslo s 17, 5 na 36,1 odstotka. Podobno pomanjkanje zanimanja za seks z drugo osebo so v isti raziskavi izrazili tudi starejši moški in ženske.Kako na področju spolnosti postaviti mejo med zdravim oziroma običajnim, normalnim na eni strani in patološkim na drugi? Je ta meja enaka za vse ljudi? Gre za bolezensko stanje ali le vedenjsko težavo? Je spolno izražanje vedno stvar izbire? Kako opredeliti stanje, ko oseba izgubi nadzor nad svojim seksualnim vedenjem in z njim nadaljuje kljub negativnim posledicam?O vsem tem v svoji knjigi Zasvojenost s seksualnostjo v digitalni dobi piše Peter Topić, psihoterapevt, ki je specialistični študij na področju zasvojenosti s seksualnostjo in travm zaključil na mednarodnem inštitutu IITAP (International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals) pri svetovno priznanem strokovnjaku dr. Patricku Carnesu v Londonu in ZDA in tako postal prvi Slovenec in peti Evropejec z uglednim nazivom CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist).

What role does trauma play in our ability to connect with ourselves and others? Can we heal and develop true intimacy after experiencing betrayal or emotional wounds?   In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Gary Katz, psychotherapist and founder of the Center for Intimacy Recovery in New York. They explore the profound impact of trauma on intimacy, relationships, and self-connection. Gary shares how his work focuses on helping people develop intimacy with themselves before they can fully experience deep, authentic relationships with others. Drawing from both his background in education and his personal journey, he shows us how relational trauma, attachment styles, and childhood experiences shape our adult relationships. From betrayal trauma to sex addiction, avoidance patterns, and the role of psychedelics in healing, this conversation delves into the challenges and transformative possibilities of intimacy recovery.   In this episode: • The connection between childhood experiences and adult intimacy challenges • How trauma shapes our ability to connect with others • Common intimacy avoidance patterns and how they manifest • The impact of betrayal trauma and how to heal from it • The role of psychedelics in supporting emotional healing • Overcoming shame, secrecy, and barriers to authentic connection • How group therapy can foster vulnerability and relational healing   Resources mentioned in this episode: Center for Intimacy Recovery: www.intimacyrecovery.com Gary's email for consultations: garykatz@intimacyrecovery.com   About Gary: Gary Katz is a psychotherapist and founder of The Center for Intimacy Recovery in New York, focusing on intimacy and relationships. He believes self-intimacy is essential for genuine connection with others. Many develop protective strategies for their hearts that later hinder the intimacy they seek. The Center helps clients overcome these barriers and build deeper connections. To address healthy sexuality and issues like compulsive behaviors and betrayal trauma, Gary studied at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute, joined the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, and became a Certified Sex Addiction and Partner Trauma Therapist through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals. He has also trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, and EMDR to address trauma stored in the body. Before his current practice, Gary spent over 20 years in education and as a rabbi.   “If I'm not willing to see the parts of myself I've been avoiding, I won't ever allow someone else to see them.” – Gary Katz   Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

Carolina Allen discusses Innate Worth with Jeremy Boberg, LCSW, who specializes in treating trauma and unmet needs and addictions.    *Trigger warning for discussion of suicide, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and human trafficking.   Carolina and Jeremy discuss the value of seeking help if you've been the victim of abuse or trauma. Help is available in many forms. Everyone is of worth, regardless of what they've experienced in life. Domestic violence and abuse were exacerbated Covid as people had to shelter in place and women and children around the world have experienced the brunt of it. We need to start discussing these issues, break down barriers, and find ways to offer support and help.Abuse can happen on a large scale or small scale.    Jeremy cited that the biggest sexual trafficking busts happen around the Super Bowl every year. Then there is the small-scale ritualistic abuse happening in homes that often goes unnoticed and victims feel voiceless.    A good therapist can help you shift focus and work through the trauma and abuse. Our bodies store trauma and hold a record of our experiences. Jeremy shares some typical traumas held in different parts of the body, specifically throat and hips.    Jeremy has seen success with many clients willing to put in the work and shares a story of one specific woman who has come back from a meth addiction, risen from dissociative disorder, regained custody of her children and now works as a successful therapist.    QUOTES:   “People who've been hurt, betrayed and have unmet needs, are also the people who are desperate to be seen to be valued, to be nurtured and wanted.”  - Jeremy Boberg, LCSW   “Doing what we're supposed to do means we have to give a voice. We have to be willing to have the humility to do something different. And when we start to be willing to talk about it, when we're willing to share our story, by leaning into that vulnerability, life changes and it is an incredible journey, incredible experience.”  - Jeremy Boberg, LCSW   “I love that we're having this discussion. After previously talking about faith and the role that faith plays, because I think it's integral in this yearning for something better, you know and that we can't do it ourselves that we need help and help comes in the forms of therapists like you and a community, and family possibly, but definitely a higher power. Definitely, you know, God, I, I can't help but see the common thread between anyone that has survived something so, so horrific.”  - Carolina Allen “I really do because I want any listener out there feeling like they're broken or like, you know, they're reluctant about going into this new year after so many blows after so many hardships and heartbreaks that the future is bright and that there are so many people who are battling Life right alongside you that you're not alone and that you are completely unique, completely valuable and worthy.” - Carolina Allen   “It's okay to seek help. It's okay to find people you can share your story to. And as you do so that's where healing takes place. We are, we are a people that need one another, and loneliness is the darkest abyss of humanity. Don't be lonely. It's up to you to find and reach out.” - Jeremy Boberg, LCSW   With 24-years in behavioral health and dual diagnosis treatment, Jeremy founded and is CEO of the Utah Trauma and Addiction Centers. As a trauma-focused psychotherapist, he is trained in the Othmer method of neurofeedback and practices using a holistic person-centered treatment approach for mental health and addictions.

He is the founder and CEO of DRS, which includes Addicted.org and Drugrehab.ca, two websites that have helped thousands of people find treatment for substance use disorder in the United States and Canada. Marcel is also a member of International Society of Substance Use Prevention and Treatment Professionals (ISSUP). Marcel started as an intake counselor for a drug rehabilitation center in 2000. During his five years as an intake counselor, he helped many addicts get the treatment they needed. He also dealt with the families and friends of those people; he saw first-hand how much strain addiction puts on a family and how it can tear relationships apart. With drug and alcohol problems constantly on the rise in the United States and Canada, he decided to use the Internet to educate and help many more people in both countries. For the past 17 years, Marcel has been working with his family and other addiction professionals to build two of the largest substance use resource websites in the U.S. and Canada. These websites help millions of people each year by providing listings for every type of drug rehab service available in the country. To complement this, Marcel is constantly writing helpful tips and providing resources to keep individuals updated with the ever-evolving subject of addiction recovery. The quality of his work has not gone unnoticed, and the Government of Canada has recently included his Canadian website, Drugrehab.ca, on a short list of country-wide resources for getting help with substance use.

ounseling Associates and a therapist specialized in porn & sex addiction, betrayal trauma for partners, and childhood trauma. David's work focuses on helping men in these areas as well as assertiveness training. David always had an interest in people as he watched his mom as a hairstylist listen to her clients. He earned his undergraduate degree in Psychology but found himself in sales after college. After some psychological testing, he learned that he would be a good therapist, so he returned to school to get his Master's in Counseling. His career started off in home therapy by using a system approach of not only working with the child but with the parents as well. He got into addictions work focuses on substances but shifted gears when he had a client with a porn addiction. This client fueled David to learn more. David trained at the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals as well as complementary methods of EMDR and Brainspotting. "You can think of counseling like that; someone is going to listen to you, not judge you, hear you out, and try to work together with you like a coach even though they may do it a little deeper to be able to help you with those deper wounds and live a life you really want to live." Through his work he has found that men put themselves through a lot of pressure to have it all and know it all which could lead to engaging in unhealthy behaviors. His work helps men shed these behaviors and discover the root of what has happened to them. He believes that porn addiction is easy to slip into based on the 3 As; Anonymity, Accessibility, and Affordability. The latest research has found that the highest users of porn are ages 12-17. Seeking treatment is hard for men because they don't get vulnerable with their friends and portrayal of men in society as "tough guys." For many men, it feels embarrassing and scary to get help and for some they worry it will affect their job status. As a society, boys and men are raised and told to let it go, move on, and it will be ok making it even more hard to ask for help. David has found that the men he work with fear not being enough and have never learned to ask for their needs to be met. "A lot of men are taught to stuff their feelings, suck it in, be happy, that's the only approved emotion, they can be angry if they are on the soccer field or football field but nowhere else, and that their feelings don't matter, that's for girls, and that could be so far from the truth. It's a human thing." Gabor Mate's definition of addiction is "a behavior or substance a person does that in the short term provides relief, pleasure, and escape. In the long term, it provides more problems and consequences coupled with the inability to stop it or stop it for long." David has seen sex and porn addiction come in many forms such as massage parlors, strip clubs, etc. When men first start treatment with him, they determine if the behavior is a problem and then assess how deep of a problem it is and what level of care is appropriate for him. From there, he helps them stop the behavior and assess the needs of their spouse and partner as well as getting them support if needed. Finally he helps them develop coping skills and learn how to set boundaries. A unique offering that Charlotte Counseling Associates offers is therapy groups for men to connect and help support one another. David also offers intensive options such as half-day, full-day, or up to 3 days of work. He strongly believes in meeting people where they are and finding the right match of a therapist with his full staff. Room to Heal is another resource in Charlotte that many of his clients have taken advantage of as a residential center for those with sex and porn addiction. "These guys just don't know how to express their needs and that's why they get caught up in these unhealthy behaviors. They are trying to meet their needs that provide an escape from the pain or maybe a dopamine boost in the short term because of the pressure." David believes it is important for the betrayed partner to seek treatment whether they stay in the relationship or not. A common trend that he has witnessed is the person who is addicted gets all of the attention and support. The partner needs support as well as to know it's not their fault. They may have PTSD and need trauma processing as well as work on setting boundaries and utilizing coping skills. His practice has a betrayed partners group as well. He can facilitate a formal disclosure session where the partner who is addicted will share their sexual timeline and the betrayed partner can ask questions. He has found that this type of session can be helpful in the betrayed partner deciding the future of the relationship. David describes talk therapy as utilizing the prefrontal cortex to explore thoughts and feelings and provides immediate relief. Some of the deeper methods he uses of EMDR and Brainspotting work on resourcing which is the ability to self-soothe. He describes EMDR(Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a brain-body therapy that gets into the deeper parts of the brain attached to our nervous system. In this work, the client reprocesses traumatic material to clen up the wound and make it not as painful while introducing a positive belief. He describes Brainspotting as more of an eye-fixation modality where they have found that where you look is how you feel. The practitioner finds a point in space that is most activating and talking it out as the wound dissipates. David finds that assertiveness training includes learning how to be calm, direct, and respectful in communication. David has followed Robert Glover's work and book called "No More Mr. Nice Guy." The idea is that men do a lot of nice things but don't meet their own needs. Inevitably the get run down and don't do nice things such as yelling, shutting down, pornography, etc. These men don't feel they have the right to ask for what they need. This work can be done in individual therapy or his assertiveness groups. David has many things that keep him grounded outside of his work as a therapist. Mostly therapy and being a part of therapist support groups, his faith, family, music, meditation, journaling, being in nature, working out, and yoga. He would like to Heal Charlotte by spreading the positive message about therapy and provide the community with education on sex and porn addiction. You can connect with David and his practice, Charlotte Counseling Associates, through their website, by calling them at 980-224-3233, emailing admin@charlottecounselors.com, or on Instagram, Facebook, and Linkedin.

Dr. Wiplove Lamba and Jean-Paul Michael went through Matthew Perry Audiobook, ‘friends, lovers, and the big terrible thing' on his recovery journey. It was a moving and powerful experience. They learned about early attachment trauma, substance use, and the internal and extremely dangerous life threatening struggles he has faced. They also learned about his experience in various treatment programs he attended and his near death experience.  While both Wip and JP do not work in private treatment centers, some of the items brought up were extremely interesting and relevant to addiction practice in general. We are hoping to promote discussion and bring awareness to all things relating to addiction medicine and recovery, both from the practitioner and patient perspective. While we both believe in and practice harm reduction approaches when the patient prefers or if it is indicated, it did not come up in the book or in our dialogue around these quotes. We found 8 clips from his audiobook and one text passage of his treatment with ketamine transcribed below The content should not be taken as direct medical advice or clinical instruction.
