Adult Children Of Sex Addicts (with Dr. Ken Adams)

interviews May 15, 2023

 
 

What happens when you grow up in a family affected by sexual addiction? In this episode, Dr. Ken Adams reveals the 5 roles played by adult children of sex addicts:

  • the moral hero/champion

  • the emotional caretaker

  • the surrogate spouse

  • the seducer/addict

  • the truth-teller

This conversation is especially helpful for those of us who inherited sexual shame from our parents. You'll learn why and how to release shame that has been passed down to you...and how to relate to children who received it from you.

 

Dr. Ken Adams is a world-renowned therapist and expert on sexual addiction, shame, and enmeshment. Learn more at drkenadams.com
