New Book Outlines How Recovery from Sex/Porn Addiction Goes Through Our Childhood

“Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Impacts Your Sexual Addiction” is a cutting-edge and unique approach to treating a disorder that is reaching epidemic portions. Author Eddie Capparucci, LPC, C-CSAS, developed the Inner Child Recovery Process for Sex/Porn Addiction based on years of success in treating men suffering from the disorder. The book is scheduled for release on February 13, 2020. 

The key to the Inner Child Recovery Process is answering the “why” question. “Why have sex and pornography overtaken my life?” The answer to that question can be found in the Inner Child.

Capparucci has identified 9 inner children, each with unique emotional stressors that are activated by negative events that take place in the addict’s life. The inner child reacts to these negative events by correlating them to pain points from the past. When this happens, the addict, to avoid emotional pain, seek comfort by distracting with unhealthy sexual activities. Some of the 9 children include the Bored Child, the Emotionally Voided Child, the Unnoticed Child, and the Unaffirmed Child.   

The book has been endorsed by major leaders in the behavioral addiction field including Dr. Rob Weiss, Ph.D., MSW, an expert in the treatment of adult intimacy disorders and addictions and author of numerous books including Sex Addiction 101. “This is an excellent and necessary examination of the ‘why’ of sex and porn addiction, helpful primarily to men in sexual recovery who’ve established initial sobriety and need deeper, longer-term work to heal and remain sober.”
