#122: As A Woman, How Do I Know If I Struggle With Sex Addiction?


Listen Later

Caller Claire's Question: "My husband and I have been listening to your podcast for a couple of weeks now and appreciate your insight into this difficult subject. We are at the beginning of recovery but find ourselves in the position of having our roles swapped. I, the wife have the sex addiction and my husband is working through the betrayal trauma. My question is whether you have any insight into female sex addiction or any resources that would be helpful for us. I am finding it difficult to find accurate information that I can relate to. It took nearly two years to diagnose my addiction as it was initially presenting in a way that is not traditionally considered "sex" addiction. It recently escalated into more blatant sexual acting out and that's when we were able to more fully understand what was going on with me. I wish there had been more information and understanding early on so we could have addressed it before it escalated."
