Am I Ready to Date Again as a Sex Addict? - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2023-09-07T16:58:35
Dr. Rob and Tami dive into when it makes sense for someone to date again after being sober and in recovery from sex, love, or porn addiction. This can be tricky for some professionals to determine, but Dr. Rob and Tami walk through some of the questions you need to ask yourself before you take that next step in the relationship. Remember, the goal isn’t to have sex in the dating process, it’s to get to know that person.
