The spectrum of addiction is broad and extends beyond substance dependency. Behavioral addictions, such as an addiction to sex and intimacy, can be equally damaging. Therapist Rick Snyderman, who specializes in both substance and behavioral addictions, explains that the euphoric pursuit of sex can mirror the addictive patterns of drugs like methamphetamine. This episode addresses the critical questions of what defines a healthy level of sexual activity and how individuals can establish personal values to maintain it. Ti and Rick delve into the behavioral indicators of sexual addiction and provide guidance on seeking professional support.
