What’s the difference between sex addiction and porn addiction?
Sex addiction involves compulsive sexual behavior that can include multiple partners, risky encounters, or excessive focus on sex.

Do you offer support for partners who have been betrayed?
Yes. A CSAT and a CPTT (Certified Partner Trauma Therapist) are specially trained to support partners affected by betrayal trauma, often related to sex or porn addiction. Both certification recognizes the trauma response and focuses on healing emotional wounds, restoring safety, and rebuilding trust. This specialized care helps partners process betrayal in an empowering way.
