Episode Overview
On this episode of the Sexology podcast I’m joined by Michael Vigorito, LMFT to talk about the topic of out of control sexual behavior. It’s important to start by having a shared language of what out of control sexual behavior is. Michael is trying to expand this issue as a sexual problem that subjectively feels out of control.
Michael conducts assessments and treatments with clients that can span 4, 8 or 12 sessions. There are many reasons for out of control sexual behavior. It could even be a sexual symptom of another psychiatric disorder. It could be related to having value conflicts with what’s going on.
Learn more about regulating behavior, when to stop, motivations for change, clarifying vision for sexual health and so much more during this episode.
