My Approach to Sex & Porn Addiction Groups

When it comes to sex and porn addiction, many people carry not only the weight of the behavior itself but also a heavy layer of shame and secrecy.
Too often, these struggles are kept in the dark, fueled by stigma and misunderstanding.
At Aligned Relational Therapy, we believe healing begins when we bring these experiences into the light—with honesty, compassion, and connection.

Compulsions and the Brain

Compulsive behaviors often aren’t about pleasure as much as they are about relief. They temporarily soothe stress, loneliness, or overwhelming emotions.
Over time, the brain begins to seek out that quick dopamine release, creating a cycle that feels hard to break. What may have started as a coping mechanism can become a pattern that leaves you feeling trapped and disconnected from yourself or others.

The Role of Attachment

Beneath the surface of compulsive behaviors, there are often attachment wounds. Many people struggling with sex or porn addiction describe feeling isolated, unseen, or disconnected in their relationships.
Group therapy offers a chance to re-learn what safe, supportive connection can feel like. Together, we build trust and explore how early patterns of attachment may still be influencing your choices today.

Dopamine, Shame, and Stigma

Dopamine drives compulsive behaviors, but shame keeps people stuck in them. Shame tells you that you’re “broken” or “bad,” while stigma from society only reinforces that silence. In group therapy, we work to break that cycle.
By talking openly, hearing “me too” from others, and replacing shame with self-understanding, it becomes possible to move forward with compassion rather than self-criticism.

A Space for Healing Together

Our Intimacy & Recovery Groups are designed as safe circles where honesty is encouraged, accountability is supported, and growth is shared. This isn’t about judgment—it’s about creating a space where you can explore healthier ways of relating to yourself, your body, and others.

Healing happens in community. And while the path may feel daunting, you don’t have to walk it alone.

If you’ve been struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors or porn use, know that you’re not alone — and that healing is possible. Reach out today to learn more about joining a group or to schedule a private, FREE, 15-minute consultation.
