I don't see any hetero-normative language.

The guy only mentions God at 3:06, when talking about relationships, but he never insists on God as being part of the equation. Nor is there any mention of gay/straight. I don't doubt a Christian counselor could use tactics to impose a hidden agenda, but I ask you where in this video you saw that?

I'm not an evangelical, I'm Catholic, and I have seen manipulative tactics used by evangelicals, so I was interested in your accusation.

@MsBesticanbe I presume you are a sex addict that you can feel qualified to say that?

@dannlynch Their first agenda is not to help with sexual recovery, but to serve the Christian agenda, thus the hetero-normative language.

The fact that you're bored can be assimilated to anxiety, I think it works the same way. You always have this illusion that acting out will help you to get better than the situation you're in, either it's anxiety, loneliness or whatever while you know it's not true. That's why ppl are talking about split personnalities.

And the more often you "act out" the faster it is to complete this process cycle!

[MsBesticanbe]

This is not true. There is no guilt or shame. You might WANT to BELIEVE that but its not true. A true SA is so selfish they cant even feel the shame. Also acting out is not always first. Some are BORED and it is the whole process leading up to acting out that drives some men.

I appreciate you so much for this video as I struggle with sexual addiction. yet I am triggered by your hetero-normative languaging...'what will my wife think', 'he has more women than me'. I hope u'll be more inclusive in how u address the public at large in the future.
