For those of us married to sex addicts Robert Weiss makes sense of the insanity that is the life of the addict and the crazy responses of partners who become traumatized by the addiction.
He talks so fast... But everything he says is so accurate..... this is the real deal in terms of the human condition....and he was s so right about we have no real idea of the scale of addiction that we will se in the future. The availability without sanctions is increasing everyday. Technology accelerating insanity.
I believe he knows what he is talking about he has help me understand a lot about myself and others. Thanks bro keep up the good work and for caring enough to help
Just WOW. This explains so much! Now I FINALLY know the cause of my sex addiction AND HOW TO SOLVE IT - intimacy. I havn't had enough intimacy, connection or contact with my friends this whole time! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I am in awe at your exact and insightful understanding of my condition. After about 30 years in this haunted merry go round, you are the first professional person ever who could describe and explain my powerless and unmanageable condition 100% 👏👏👃
Thank you for sharing this lecture! This was fantastically shared. Is there a part two? It seems like it cuts off somewhat suddenly. I found a lot of personal value in how the information was presented. I can see ways in which my personal early life experiences affected my perception of sexuality, and recently I have dated several men that self identify (and have been presumably confirmed through therapy) as sex addicts, and it's really important for me to understand them with this kind of objective way.
Difficult to say whether disclosure to the spouse is the telltale signe of recovery. Maybe it is? The courses/ talks of Rob Weiss are nonetheless very helpful to me. They are very direct precise and accurately examplified. I would be very interested by video(s?) more directed toward emotions/trauma hidden by sexual acting out. Not that video can replace individual therapy but it can give some interesting and precious leads/hints/clues. I would even daresay many psychotherapist/psychoanalysts are actually {overwhelmed by/unable to help with} sexual {disorders/addiction}. Being an addiction specialist may very well be a completely different job from psychoanalyst. RW, please keep up with this good work!!
It'd be interesting to see how often the traits mentioned here spill over into personality disorders, and which types of personality disorders are most common in sex addicts. A lot of it sounds very Cluster B.
I found Dr Weiss's comments interesting and insightful, until I read his book. His advocacy of 12 Step Groups is baffling. They are no more effective than any other type of therapy, and often come with very considerable problems. The insertion of religion often equates to an attempt to replace one form of cognitive distortion with another, and some groups have deeply unhealthy power relationships. More than one person has described the dynamics of some 12 Step Groups as "cult like". Mixing highly vulnerable, troubled people with questionable concepts such as "higher powers" who will fix their problems is very concerning.
You speak about sexual addiction being a mental health issue and a compulsive behaviour disorder, bu do not speak about how powerful, primal, and autonomic the sexual impulse is, which in Ayurveda, it is said, must not be suppressed. I would think that not having a satisfying outlet for that energy fuels sexual adventures and stress. Also, in this presentation or elsewhere, you say that the "job" of children is to play. I differ .... the need of children is to feel secure in a sense of belonging to and being valued. Children do not want to have only play and nothing else. They want to also feel included in their family life and activity. Even then, the tendency to be wayward, naughty and otherwise excercise free will to do things that are not necessarily good can't be fully absent.
Robert Weiss on this presentation and other videos makes inappropriate comments especially towards women and occasionally towards men (example - the size of the congressman's genitals) - all under the guise of humor. That's enough for me to stop the video. It ain't funny to me. It's a subtle form of shame and manipulation, and i hope that you, Robert, wil explore your own wounds, and then stop that offensive behavior. It's hard to believe that your CSAT training did not confront you with this glaring behavior.
One of the best when it comes to articulating the complex and nuanced nature of sex addiction. Thanks for all your work, Rob.
Thank you. Lovely compliment.

How is your recovery going brother?
I am in awe at your exact and insightful understanding of my condition.
After about 30 years in this haunted merry go round, you are the first professional person ever who could describe and explain my powerless and unmanageable condition 100%
👏👏👃
I am a woman and this doctor describes me perfectly. Help is nearly impossible to find.
I feel the same way even though I’m a man, but this video has given me so much clarity of who I am.

This was very helpful for me. I feel alone alot with my issues! So thank you!
You are very welcome.

RW, please keep up with this good work!!
Sir thank you so much for sharing this, I am blown away by this insight and explanation, of how to look at this topic. 🙂🙏🏼
Where is the rest of this?
Your talk is really useful for my work - thankyou.
You are very welcome.
Hay algo en español sobre esta temática de este señor. Alguien sabe?

Well im not a sex addict but the girls who i go out they are n making me like that. So how do i fix this?
My humble opinion is you maybe an addict as you said girls! As yourself why you seeing girls & not staying with one of them 🙏
It's really difficult
But I know these things well, I need someone to tell me the cure
"all my stories are true... sometimes I can't believe them, but they are true"... people living real life episodes of the twilight zone...
Sexual misbehavior can create some very significant consequences.
Robert Weiss🙏🏼
52:47 exactly 😢
sticky floors...Yep. been there way too many times.
its been 10 years 😭 i really want to get out of this
You are correct, if I did what Anthony Weener

If your 12 step program is religious, get out it is a cult.
.... is a spiritual program, not religious ..... (From the original literature)

Such a snappy dresser!
Good information. Although I do feel some of the stuff he says may be deemed inappropriate by some people. He's quite funny though.
It’s a seminar for health professionals

Man! You have to slow down

Very interesting that the camera 'man' lingers on attractive women quite often....
More interesting I didn't noticed at all, you did.
@@AliValentine143 when you are aware of 'the male gaze' so prevalent in visual media you see it everywhere.
@@AliValentine143don’t presume he done it for sexual pleasure 🙏
Dude this guy is annoying.
Secular Counselor lol, I was trying to figure out why he was dressed up like gay Republican at a wedding! Lzo, MS
Lorenzo A - so? What is your point and how does it pertain to the main purposes and topics of this lecture?
Pretty immature comment.
very heteronormative...I expect better from a MSW
I'm not sure that this is true. He was very explicit with other normative behaviors.
For the record, I'm a proud gay man. I'm sorry if it came off as heteronormative. I certainly did not intend that.
