Sex Addiction and
Love Addiction

Many people have what is called love addiction and/or sex addiction and are unable to achieve real
intimacy. Addictions of any kind are just emotion blocks or people suffering from deep emotional pain.
Tantra and sexual healing is the perfect therapy to help people heal any emotional wounds.
When someone has old emotional wounds or
blocks they are unable to achieve real intimacy and look outside of themselves and their relationships with others
and therefore use love or sex addiction to avoid it. By clearing emotional blocks and healing on a soul level the
need for sex and love addiction starts to diminish and the person starts to “feel” real love. They can then start
to heal those old emotional wounds.
Characteristics of Sex & Love Addiction
May include some or all of the following:
-
Having few healthy boundaries, we become sexually involved with and/or emotionally
attached to people without knowing them.
-
Fearing abandonment and loneliness, we stay in and return to painful, destructive
relationships, concealing our dependency needs from ourselves and others, growing more isolated and
alienated from friends and loved ones, ourselves, and God.
-
Fearing emotional and/or sexual deprivation, we compulsively pursue and involve ourselves
in one relationship after another, sometimes having more than one sexual or emotional liaison at a
time.
-
We confuse love with neediness, physical and sexual attraction, pity and/or the need to
rescue or be rescued.
-
We feel empty and incomplete when we are alone. Even though we have a fear of intimacy or
a fear of commitment, we continually search for relationships and sexual contacts.
-
We sexualize stress, guilt, loneliness, anger, shame, fear and envy. We use sex or
emotional dependence as substitutes for nurturing, care, and support.
-
We use sex and emotional involvement to manipulate and control others.
-
We become immobilized or seriously distracted by romantic or sexual obsessions or
sexual fantasies.
-
We avoid responsibility for ourselves by attaching ourselves to people who are emotionally
unavailable.
-
We stay enslaved to emotional dependency, romantic intrigue, or compulsive sexual
activities.
-
To avoid feeling vulnerable, we may retreat from all intimate involvement, mistaking
sexual and emotional anorexia for recovery.
- We assign magical qualities to others. We idealize and pursue them, then blame them for not
fulfilling our fantasies and expectations.
