Dr. Stefanie Carnes: Shattering Myths About Sex Addiction
“As a culture, we have to get better at de-stigmatizing this as an illness, an actual condition that is treatable, because it is treatable and people get better.”

That was the reality for Dr. Stefanie Carnes, who joins host David Condos in this episode of 'Beyond Theory'.

Dr. Carnes also shares insights into her work at The Willow House program, which focuses on helping women who struggle with intimacy issues, often overlooked in these conversations.
