Dr. David Ley is a therapist and psychologist here to de-shame, debunk, and shed light on the idea of sex as an addiction. He unpacks the impact growing up religious or with morally conservative beliefs has on people identifying as sex addicts, discussing why it’s crucial we make sexuality a healthy part of life. David and Alexa break down how after 40 years, the sex addiction model of treatment still has no positive impact, and how leaning into self-compassion and acceptance are actual solutions to sexual disorders.Today on That Sex Chick:Challenging claims of sex addictionIssues with sex addiction “treatment”Being religious is a risk factor for developing a sexual disorderThe power of self-acceptance & compassionMaking sexuality a healthy part of your lifeConnect with David:Website: davidleyphd.com Twitter: @drdavidleyDavid’s booksConnect with Alexa:Instagram: @thatsexchickWebsite: sexandlove.coFree resources: sexandlove.co/resourcesFacebook Group: Sex & Love Co Community Click here to submit your review for That Sex Chick, and you’ll get access to “Uncover Your Inner Kink,” a guided meditation and more, created by Alexa! This show is produced by Soulfire Productions
