bwaha! wow what a total freakjob. I'm sorry but its so obvious when watching these random wingunt counselors with a pet theory (who think THEY'VE figured it all out), that psychology is about as far from being a hard science as its possible to get.

Gluonium, of everyone I've encountered on the Sift so far, you are one who has protested against any video supporting therapy/healing the most. Me thinks you protest too much.

oh please, by that logic you are in LOOOVE with Pat Condell.

If Pat Condell did anything positive for the condition of the world, he'd be worth listening to. He's just a depressing old wind-bag, doing a very good job of scare-mongering.

The guy in this video actually helps people on a daily basis.

I can tell you as a survivor of sexual abuse, with some still enresloved issues about sexuality (you thought I started this collective for entertainment?) I can tell you that this guy's ideas about the causes and conditions of sexual addiction are on the money.

I support anyone who seeks or offers therapy in an attempt to regain dignity and balance in their's and other's lives.

zomgzLOL! I can fully assure you perseph that I have most definitely not ever been a victim of sexual abuse.

It never crossed my mind that you may have been a victim and I certainly wasn't trying to suggest it. I'm not sure why you misunderstood me. I was telling you I suffered abuse. I was trying to let you know from my experience that this guy knows what he's talking about.

What he's saying is that sex addiction often stems from a childhood that was lacking in the kind of nurturing experiences where a child can learn intimacy, and one in which the child was subjected to sexual abuse or porn.

He's not talking about sexual intimacy here.

He's talking about intimacy in the broadest sense. Intimacy means a person feels safe to be vulnerable with another, to express their needs and innermost desires, as well as their fears and all the negative emotions which we don't want to acknowledge.

Hard science or not, counselling, therapy, psychology all have benefits for those wanting to regain dignity and balance in their lives.

oh it was your comma placement. "I can tell you as a survivor of sexual abuse," sounds like "I can sense you are a survivor of sexual abuse". Whereas "I can tell you, that as a survivor of sexual abuse,...." was what I think you meant.

Thanks for the punctuation lesson.

She blinded me with science!!....wait, no she didn't, I did that to myself......
