The Power of Addiction and The Addiction of Power: Gabor Maté at TEDxRio+20.
“Canadian physician Gabor Maté is a specialist in terminal illnesses, chemical dependents, and HIV positive patients. Dr. Maté is a renowned author of books and columnist known for his knowledge about attention deficit disorder, stress, chronic illness and parental relations. His theme at TEDxRio+20 was addiction — from drugs to power. From the lack of love to the desire to escape oneself, from susceptibility of the being to interior power — nothing escapes. And he risks a generic and generous prescription: “Find your nature and be nice to yourself.””

According to Alexandra Katehakis, “Sexual addiction is a very real concern that can cause havoc in relationships.

Life for partners of sex addicts who have been affected by a series of betrayals by the addict can be an emotional roller coaster. The knowledge that stages in the recovery process are natural and normal can be reassuring to the addict’s partner, regardless of whether they choose to stay in the relationship.

There are six identifiable stages of recovery for sex addicts’ partners as defined by the research by Dr. Stefanie Carnes. Let’s take a look at them and what you can expect in helping a sex addict on their road to recovery.” Read more here.
