Self-care for men in recovery from addiction - Forest Benedict - Episode 29
I interview Forest Benedict, LMFT, SATP about how men in recovery from pornography and sexual addiction can care for themselves in long-term recovery. He teaches that men with addictions are "masters of self-neglect" and don't have habits of taking good care of themselves. He is also in recovery himself and shares both his clinical and personal wisdom about how to build a strong self-care program. Forest Benedict, LMFT, SATP, is the author of the highly-acclaimed book Life After Lust: Stories a Strategies for Sex a Pornography Addiction Recovery (https://www.amazon.com/Life-After-Lust-Strategies-Pornography/dp/0998468215/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8aqid=1487134790asr=8-1). Forest uses online group therapy to guide sexually addicted individuals through recovery, serving all of California (https://forestbenedict.com/online-program-details/). He leads sexual addiction workshops and co-facilitates intensives with LifeSTAR Sacramento (http://lifestarsacramento.org/team-view/forest-benedict/). Forest is the Program Coordinator of the Sexual Addiction Treatment Provider program at Mid-America Nazarene University, training therapists to do sexual addiction work (https://www.mnu.edu/graduate/programs/sexual-addictions-treatment-provider-certification-program).
