"Healthy Sexuality: A Primer on Sex Addiction and Recovery"
Addiction to sexual activities can be just as destructive as addiction to chemical substances. Addicts may jeopardize marriage and family relationships, allow job performance to deteriorate, and endanger themselves and their partner through multiple sexual exposures. Even though they realize the consequences, addicts cannot control their compulsions without appropriate treatment. This training will help therapists and those in recovery learn the stages and symptoms of sex addiction. Additionally, Dr. Johnson will address individual recovery plans and referral resources.
Presented by Michael Johnson, Ph.D.
Dr. A. Michael Johnson is a Texas licensed psycholist specializing in the treatment of sexual addiction and related issues including codependence and love addiction. He regularly conducts intensive weekend workshops for men dealing with sex addiction and provides educational experiences to the Austin lay and professional community. He belongs to the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health (SASH), the American Psychological Association, and the Texas Psychological Association. He is also an advanced practitioner in the Ericksonian School of Hypnotherapy. Join us for a stimulating topic and presentation.
