Compulsive sexual behaviours
Are you struggling with sex addiction?
If you are struggling with sex and love addiction that don’t serve your best interests then seeing a CBT Therapist can help you with your addiction.
What are compulsive sexual behaviours?
Compulsive sexual behaviours are a pattern of intense, repetitive sexual urges that are difficult to control. They have also been called ‘hypersexuality’ or ‘sexual addiction’. Compulsive sexual behaviours are characterised by persistent sexual urges that are difficult to control, repetitive sexual behaviours that cause distress, and problems in relationships, finances, health, work, or other areas of life.
Signs that you should consider seeking treatment
You should consider treatment for your addiction problems when:
You have regular, intense or preoccupying thoughts about sex, or sexual fantasies that you find difficult to get rid of, even if you want to.
You notice that you act on urges, even if you know that there would be a negative consequence that you do not want to experience.
You find it difficult to focus on other aspects of life because you are intensely preoccupied with thoughts about sex or sexual fantasies/urges.
What do Onebright offer?
We offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for compulsive sexual behaviours, as there is evidence to suggest it can be of support in terms of identifying and challenging the negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to these behaviours, allowing individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms to manage urges and triggers, and ultimately replacing harmful sexual behaviours with more positive ones.

Benefits of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is an evidence based, goal-oriented and collaborative psychological therapy approach that focuses on understanding the past and present connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours (termed the ‘formulation’). It also offers powerful tools, strategies, and techniques to identify, challenge and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and associated feelings and behaviours, helping to significantly improve mental health and quality of life.
