Sexualised Attachments
We are thrilled to host Dr. Floyd Godfrey who join us to talk about his latest book.
Healing & Recovery – Perspective for Young Men with Sexualized Attachments is a workbook designed to help young men develop clarity and self-awareness around sexualised attachments. When attachment drives become fused with sexual drives, it’s called sexualized attachment. Over the course of a decade, Dr. Godfrey has seen hundreds of adults and youth who present issues related to sexualized attachments. Depression, self-harm, anxiety, addiction, and sexual confusion are only a few of the possible symptoms. Unfortunately, these issues are often addressed individually without acknowledgement of underlying issues related to attachment needs, wounds, or deficits.
“My fear is that adults and youth label themselves as abnormal or broken when they are actually experiencing symptoms of sexualized attachments. In this scenario, clients are labeled based on attraction. People who experience sexualized attachments, may be completely uneducated about emotional deficits or attachment wounds. They may be living without any awareness of their own unaddressed attachment needs or wounds.“
The workbook is a fantastic practical resource for men confused by sexualised attachments.
