2017 St. George UCAP Conference
Getting Out of the Addiction Cycle
Jeff Ford
What is the sex addiction cycle? The answer lays the groundwork for understanding the best path out of this addiction. The heart of this problem is engaging in a false relationship with fake people (i.e. pornography, illicit sexual encounters, etc.) and not knowing how to engage in authentic relationships with real people. Participants will understand the process that addicts and their family members must experience to solidify a complete break from this addictive cycle. Learn about one powerful tool that helps an individual get out of this cycle, and practice using this tool during the breakout session. This tool is a must for anyone trying to break free from sexual addiction as well as people who are assisting them.
