Group settings offer the best recovery results of problematic sexual behavior

Often, problematic sexual behavior (PSB) is an intimacy disorder. PSB usually affects an individual, their partner, and their family. As such, your partner and family will play an essential role in your recovery process. 

Research shows group settings are a vital part of the recovery and healing process. Group therapy is a place where many find acceptance. Likewise, many who take part in group settings, find support, guidance, and hope. As a result, participation in group therapy leads to healing for those with PSB. 



The four dimensions of problematic sexual behavior

Your healing and recovery plan will address both your physical and mental health. The process includes exploring spirituality, relationships, and emotional wounds. Likewise, the process examines the physical impact of PSB on both your brain and your body.

There are four dimensions of problematic sexual behavior. In order for a full recovery to take place, each aspect of PSB needs to be addressed. As such, you and your therapist will discuss elements within each dimension in depth. 

The dimensions of problematic sexual behavior are:

• Emotional 
• Spiritual
• Relational
• Physical



Problematic sexual behavior impacts many dimensions of a person's life.

One dimension to explore on the road to recovery is your spirituality. Spirituality focuses on your core beliefs. Spirituality focuses on your core beliefs and helps to clarify many aspects of your perceptions.

The emotional and relational dimensions can be the most difficult to face. Hence, we teach relational skills and let you work on applying them throughout your recovery process. The elements of these dimensions involve healing the wounds of PSB and the impact on the family. As such, talking about the harmful effects PSB has on your partner and children (psychologytoday.com) will be difficult. However, this part of the process is critical and necessary. As a result, healing can take place for everyone involved. Capstone Counseling and Coaching will be here for you every step of the way.
