Neil Strauss – Emotional incest & sexual addiction

via Neil Strauss – Cheaters, Sex Addicts

Subtle abuse

Family dynamics

Attachment theory

I know and accept that I am psychologically unhealthy/damaged. And my current emotional problems and sexual behavior are linked to my early childhood in some way. But I also believe that there is much more to this (who I am today) than just psychology (personal philosophy, cultural context, etc.)!

How was I parented? –> how I relate to significant others in my life (especially the opposite sex – spouse, etc.) –> how I parent another (ministry, children, etc.)

Is my intellectual predisposition actually a symptom of my emotional retardation/relational avoidance?

Avoidance in addicts and addiction in avoidants

Become the kind of person you want to date

Childhood resilience!

Criminal negligence of self!
