Hey L,
Struggles unwanted sexual behaviors are rarely just about sex. Beneath the surface, they're often symptoms of deeper emotional and mental health issues stemming from wounds we haven't addressed, pain we haven't named, or emotions we haven't learned to manage in healthy ways.
And for many men, especially fathers, this has ripple effects.
Because our ability or inability to regulate our emotions impacts not only our choices, but also the way we show up for our families.
In other words, when we turn to something like p*** to cope, we're not just escaping discomfort but we're also reinforcing patterns that keep us disconnected from ourselves and the people who matter most, including our children.
So the question is worth asking:
Why is emotional regulation so difficult for those who struggle with unwanted sexual behavior and what does healing in this area require?
The answer to that question is complex.
However, one issue that often comes up when talking with the guys we help is the quality (or lack thereof) of the relationship they had with their father growing up.
To put it plainly, they tend to have "daddy issues" that contributed to their lack of healthy emotional development.
