Episode 086: Is It Sex Addiction? Understanding Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior and Infidelity
Description
If you or your partner are navigating the aftermath of infidelity and wondering whether the sexual behavior involved was really "sex addiction," this episode is a must-listen.
In Episode 86, I'm unpacking one of the most common and confusing questions couples face after betrayal:
Is it sex addiction—or is something else going on?
We'll explore:
-
Why "sex addiction" is not a recognized mental health diagnosis in the DSM-5
-
The risk of mislabeling sexual behavior and missing the deeper emotional drivers
-
What the Out of Control Sexual Behavior (OCSB) model is and why it offers a more compassionate, effective path forward
-
Actionable next steps for couples dealing with out-of-control sexual behavior—including excessive porn use or secretive sexual activity
This episode is especially supportive for couples who want to move beyond shame, blame, or one-size-fits-all labels and into real, values-based healing.
