About this ebook

This companion workbook to, Recovery from Sexual Addiction: a Mans Guide, helps men learn how to achieve a high level commitment to change their behavior and thinking. The exercises are structured for use in either independent counseling or group therapy. Men are introduced to insights on how to move out of isolation into a more fulfilling life.

Readers will learn about the Addicts Life Scale, a simple yet insightful tool that illustrates how ones mood is directly related to destructive acting-out behaviors. Once a man becomes aware of his mood levels, he can begin to take proactive steps to reach and sustain a mood level where he feels confident and motivated to remain free of destructive acting-out behaviors.

Exercises are geared at helping men examine their most personal issues, including:

the nature and origin of sexual addiction,
the roles of anger, anxiety, isolation, and depression in sexual addiction, and
how to cultivate self-awareness and improved attitude.

Ultimately, readers will discover the satisfaction that comes from improved relationships with their spouses, children, other men, and God.

Paul Beckers unique Recovery From Sexual Addiction series includes a core book, client workbook, and a clinician guide. The three texts use an interactive approach to help therapists and clients thoroughly explore the roots of sexual addiction and effective ways to achieve long-term recovery. The series is especially helpful to therapists who prefer to base recovery on principles proven by Dr. Patrick Carnes.

Author

Paul Becker

Author, Paul Becker, now offers books that provide a structured educational process to identify the characteristics of sexual addiction and a path to recovery. Paul Becker is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Fairfax City, Virginia. He was an Economist and Executive in the Federal Service for more than 36 years. As part of his pledge to “give back” he obtained a Master’s degree in Counseling Education from Virginia Tech and embarked on a counseling and literary career. His recent book, Why Is My Partner Sexually Addicted?: Insight Women Need, provides women, who find their partners have strayed from the marriage contract, with an understanding of the why and how of his addiction and choices women have for moving forward. Men who are sexually-addicted tell themselves lies, including, “nobody will find out,” and, “I am not hurting anyone.” In time, lies are exposed as a man’s life becomes increasingly out of control. Fortunately, countless men have discovered a new beginning through a commitment to recovery. His books, Recovery from Sexual Addiction: a Man’s Guide, and Workbook provide insights into: • What is sexual addiction? • Why can’t I just stop my destructive behavior? • The sex-addiction cycle and acting out rituals. • The role of anger, anxiety, codependency, and depressed mood in continuing sexual addiction. • Is there hope I can change my behavior? • Insights into the recovery journey. Paul Becker offers gentle guidance on how to step out of addiction, isolation, and depressed mood into a life of enlightenment. His books follow the research-supported clinical modality presented in books published by Dr. Patrick Carnes. Dr. Carnes has approved for publication the concepts included in Paul Becker’s books.
