Does a sex addict know how to love? That is the question licensed psychologist Dr. Doug Weiss tackles in this video.

When someone has an addiction, they are spiritually, emotionally, and morally immature. They make selfish choices because of that. Choices that are related to their addiction.

You’re in pain due to the revelation of their secret world. The truth about their behavior and actions hurt. You try to hold onto that one thread of hope in light of the mess. You wonder if they truly love you.

Currently, that person is living in the object world where there are no rules, no consequences, they can do whatever they want, and people don’t have value. It doesn’t make sense to you since you’re from the relational world where people do have value. From your relational perspective, you wonder how they could do such crazy and irrational things.

How would you empirically know if they love you? Based on many polygraphs Dr. Weiss has done, almost all of the sex addicts tested do love their spouses. People can be broken and still love. They are addicted and need help.

At Heart To Heart Counseling Center, we have counseling groups, intensives, polygraph tests and psychological tests (if it turns out they have a psychological disorder) available if they are willing. They can get better, mature, make good decisions, choose to protect their family, and stay clean in time.

There’s also your pain to consider as well. We have individual and group counseling, along with other resources to give you the support and healing you need for your trauma. In the end, remember, don’t blame yourself and take steps for yourself to heal.
