Understanding sex and porn addiction from a Christian transpersonal perspective
This CPD workshop has been specifically designed with a spiritual focus to help counsellors and pastoral carers working with Christians who struggle with sex or porn addiction. The day will explain addiction from a biopsychosocial perspective and explore biblical perspectives on dependency. Ultimately, only the ‘addict’ can decide if their behaviour is ‘addictive’ or out of control, but this intense and information-packed day will help those in a supportive role to guide people towards that decision. Practical tools will also be provided along with guidance for appropriate referral.
Aims:
- To provide a definition of sex and porn addiction
- To help counsellors understand sex and porn addiction from a biopsychosocial perspective
