Apoyamos el modelo de tratamiento del trauma para las esposas y parejas de adictos al sexo.

Los cimientos de la hermandad:

• We do not believe that sex addiction is an actual disease, but rather a symptom of a much deeper mental disorder.
• We do not believe that 12 step programs are effective in treating these behaviors.
• We do not believe that sex addiction counseling (CSAT) and sex addiction treatment centers are effective nor do they create any lasting change in the sex addict’s behaviors. This is a disservice to both the sex addict and the partner.
• We do believe that partners of sex addicts suffer from various forms of trauma.
• We do believe that co-dependent/co-addict labels are harmful and cause further damage and trauma to an already traumatized partner or spouse.
• We do believe that wives and partners of these misdiagnosed ‘sex addicts’ are victims of domestic abuse.
• We do believe that sex addiction treatment protocols are the the last vestige of ‘victim blaming’ and it needs to stop.
• We do believe that partners can recover and heal and have happy and fulfilling lives.

We believe that sex addiction is Domestic Abuse.

Esto es lo que el Departamento de Justicia de los Estados Unidos tiene que decir sobre la violencia doméstica:

Abuso emocional: Socavar la autoestima y/o el sentido de valía personal de una persona constituye abuso. Esto puede incluir, entre otras cosas, críticas constantes, menospreciar sus capacidades, insultos o dañar la relación con sus hijos.
