Free Your Mind
admin June 14th, 2010
Yesterday I was interviewed on a local radio program called Free Your Mind. The mission of the show is to destigmatize issues related to mental health, and they asked me to discuss sexual addiction with them. Not only were they respectful and sophisticated with their questions, but they also were sensitive to the existing stigma and misconceptions related to sex addiction. It was a joy to be a part of their show, and you can hear the taped interview by going to their website at www.fymps.com.
In light of the recent media frenzy regarding celebrity sex addicts, I hope to make a dent in the myths that get circulated. Sexual addiction (or compulsion as I often call it) is a complex issue which isn’t really about the sex–it’s about emptiness and looking for contact in all the wrong places. Please let me know what you think about the interview if you have a chance to listen and I look forward to expanding the dialogue.
