Carol the Coach will be interviewing Caroline Smith who runs intensives for Pine Groves. She believes, "The word “recovery” literally means “to recapture or regain that which has been lost or stolen.”  Reestablish, restore, resuscitate, resume, reform, renew, and rebirth are all applicable concepts.   Meaningful-sustainable recovery is so much more than just cessation of self-defeating sexual behaviors and compulsive cycles of intensity, secrecy and despair.  Once destructive mood-altering patterns have been arrested, the journey of a lifetime can begin; the sacred journey within."  Rather than reactively living in the past or anxiously worrying about the future, secure attachment requires living mindfully, moment by moment.  To use a financial metaphor “yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, today is all the cash you have so use it wisely.”  Wisdom means finding ones internal therapist and incorporating ones internal observes/leader. To understand yourself requires looking at your life and attachment patterns and the influence of early childhood experiences on your life. Learn about your own attachment style and how it helped to trigger your SA. Sexual Addiction is a disorder that requires strategies to assist you in maintaining recovery.

Since 2008 Dr. Michael Barta has been working exclusively with the sexually addicted population and has found that roughly 98% of people he sees  are suffering from sexually compulsive behaviors and also have significant attachment wounds.
