Exploring the Links Between Attachment Style and Porn or Sex Addiction

Pornography and Sexual addictions can be dark and difficult cycles that can make it hard to connect to your spouse. Often, people who struggle with these addictions have an avoidant, anxious or insecure attachment style, and it is helpful to look at your attachment style in order to understand how the addiction developed.

Getting to the root of these addictions involves understanding your attachment style and how you learned to relate to others in the home you grew up in. Often, a therapist can help you how your attachment style was formed. From there, you can begin to heal any attachment injuries you have, and move into a place of closer connection to your spouse.
