Sex addicts are typically people pleasers. Successful men are usually successful because of their ability to please others. The problem is that they tend to prioritize pleasing others over pleasing themselves. This leads to coping, compensating, and striving. The good news is that you can have both… Sobriety AND success.
High-achievers are resourceful, driven, and creative. Sex addiction becomes an efficient way of getting what the addict mind wants. In the beginning, it’s easy to hide. Inevitably, the truth comes out and it often wrecks their marriage and the family unit. Recovery is different for high-achievers as their sex addiction is different than the average addict. This episode discusses the differences and what must be done to achieve long-term sobriety.
Crystal Hollenbeck (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) and I examine what high-achievers need to do if they are going to achieve a full recovery. While many successful men believe that they know who they are, their self-worth is often tied to the number of people who they perceive find them “impressive.”
