There are many components to healthy recovery from sex addiction and betrayal trauma.
Because we are working with a dysregulated nervous system that seeks out a sexual stimulus to feel "ok" again we need an arsenal of tools to help.
The research is showing that regular meditation is helps with addiction by strengthening neural pathways involved in self-control
Meditation reduces stress/anxiety (key relapse triggers), and enables individuals to observe cravings without reacting to them.
Also Meditation promotes mindfulness, emotional regulation, and brain structural changes that improve impulse control and decision-making.
A meditation class specifically for men with sex addiction starts September 2, 2026 at noon Mountain time.
This class is on-line and is for 1 hour 15 minutes each week through September.
The cost is $230 for five weeks which also includes a 1:1 session with one of the instructors.

I’ve learned a few things about people and relationships.
Here are 8 of the core lessons.
- We know each other far better and more thoroughly than we realize.
- The people we are closest to, are the ones that can hurt us the most, or heal us the best.
- Feeling our feelings, learning to effectively communicate, risking being vulnerable, catching our defenses and stopping words and behavior from this place…is hard work.
- Knowing and holding our partner’s early wounds when they are angry, defensive, critical and generally reactive, is hard work.
- Facing our own inner critic and shame takes great courage.
- Healing from our trauma hurts.
- Anything is possible if we are willing to keep trying with help and humility.
- Trauma of any kind severely alters how we think and feel.
