Psychologist, Palm Springs CA
May I just say “wow”. As a psychologist I find the manner in which Dr. Fawcett explains addiction, addiction pairing, and the variations in sex and process addictions to be well thought out and easily understood. Already I am excited that this book will be available for bibliotherapy for my clients who struggle with chemsex. For families, this book will be a valuable resource for them to understand the nuances of addiction and sexuality that make treating these complex issues challenging. Most importantly, I feel this book honors the experience of the chemsex addict and addicts in general; capturing the humanity of the addict, helping the reader to understand what drives the behavior is not a moral issue, and that there are complex processes at play.
The book offers a path for understanding and unpairing while never disparaging the addict.
