Breaking down the process allows and understanding of who the addict goes from shame to acting out or using. Eli Machen, LCSW, explains the process, how to break down the ritual into concrete behaviors in order to understand where and what boundaries need to be in place to maintain sobriety. Eli, shows how this process brings clarity to the sex addict’s understanding the process of trigger to acting out. Eli Machen LCSW, draws from resources such as Dr. Brene Brown, Dr. Patrick Carnes, and Dr Lian McGilchrist as he addresses issues that recovering couples face in their journey to intimacy.
