Shame doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
Many people stay silent because shame feels heavy and isolating. But shame is a natural response to compulsive behavior, not a personal flaw.

What it may look like:
• Avoiding help because you feel embarrassed or afraid
• Keeping everything to yourself to avoid judgment
• Feeling unworthy or overwhelmed by guilt
• Believing you’re the only one experiencing this

What you need to know:
• Shame is common and can be worked through
• Compassionate therapy helps reduce shame and build understanding
• You don’t have to face this alone
• Healing starts when you feel safe enough to share your story

What it may look like:
• Guilt, shame, or lingering anxiety
• Strained relationships or growing distance
• Trouble focusing at work
• Feeling overwhelmed by the emotional aftermath

What you need to know:
• These feelings are common and they are valid
• Emotional recovery is possible with the right support
• Healing means addressing both the behavior and the emotions behind it
• Therapy offers a safe, confidential space to work through it

Feeling out of control doesn’t make you weak.
Compulsive s*xual behavior is often misunderstood. It isn’t about character or willpower. These patterns are rooted in the brain and shaped by emotional triggers.

What it may look like:
• Struggling to control urges even when you want to
• Feeling overwhelmed by persistent thoughts or habits
• Blaming yourself for behaviors that feel automatic
• Thinking you should be able to stop on your own

What you need to know:
• This is a neurological and behavioral pattern, not a moral failing
• Compulsion is something you can work through with support
• Healing comes from understanding, not shame
• Confidential, evidence-based help is available
