Hypersexual disorders are challenging conditions involving excessive, compulsive sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that create significant personal distress and impair real intimacy. This experiential workshop will present an attachment-based developmental model for understanding and treating the root causes of hypersexuality using schema therapy. Through lecture, demonstrations, and interactive exercises, participants will learn how schema therapy works to transform maladaptive schemas and modes and meet unmet childhood attachment needs that drive hypersexual coping. Case examples will illustrate schema therapy strategies including limited reparenting, empathic confrontation, chairwork, and mode work to help heal early relational trauma. Participants will have opportunities to practice schema therapy techniques for addressing client attachment wounds and transforming engrained hypersexual modes. Attendees will be prepared to apply many effective interventions in this innovative attachment-focused model designed to heal the core psychological and emotional drivers of compulsive sexual behaviors.
