Episode Overview
- Sex addiction is often about coping mechanisms rather than sex itself.
- Chemsex involves the use of drugs to enhance sexual experiences.
- The Rainbow Advocate Program offers affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals.
- Understanding sexual fluidity is crucial in providing inclusive therapy.

Sex addicts have the least amount of sex - it's often about their relationship to it.
This episode of The Umbrella Hour, hosted by Zander Keig, brings together an engaging panel from the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (ITAP). Although Dr. An Goldbauer is absent, Zander takes the reins solo, guiding a fascinating discussion with three notable guests: Dr. David Fawcett, Dr. Robert Hudson, and Randall McDaniel. These experts dive into the complexities of sex addiction, chemsex, and the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the realm of addiction recovery. Dr.
Fawcett, a seasoned clinical sexologist and certified sex addiction therapist, shares his extensive experience in treating chemsex sobriety and integrating healthy intimacy into recovery. His insights into the psychological impacts of sexualised drug use are both enlightening and thought-provoking. Dr. Hudson, a UK-based psychotherapist, offers a deep dive into the clinical aspects of sex addiction therapy. He emphasises the importance of understanding sexual fluidity and providing inclusive care to LGBTQ+ clients.
His reflections on the evolving landscape of sex addiction therapy highlight the need for compassionate and culturally sensitive approaches. Randall McDaniel, ITAP's Marketing and Special Projects Manager, discusses the growth and impact of the Rainbow Advocate Program. This initiative aims to provide affirming care and proper language use when interacting with the LGBTQ+ community. Randall's passion for creating safe spaces for learning and growth is evident throughout his discussion.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these critical issues and learn from some of the leading voices in the field.
