Addiction, Compulsions and Impulsivity, OH MY!

About this Podcast:

Natasha was so excited to have the chance to talk to Larry & Ricky Siegel again. The Siegal Brothers and Natasha discuss all the language that gets thrown around - consistently in clinically inaccurate ways. Especially in conservative and high-demand religious communities, the term “addiction” gets used not only by lay people, but other mental health professionals, in ways that pathologize people’s sexuality.

About the Guests:

The Siegel brothers have almost 60 years of combined experience as sex therapists and sexuality educators.

Dr. Richard M. Siegel, PhD, LMHC, CST is a Florida-licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Florida Board Certified Sex Therapist and Qualified Supervisor, and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, Supervisor of Sex Therapy, and Provider of Continuing Education.

Lawrence Siegel, MA, CSE is a Clinical Sexologist and sexuality education consultant. . Larry sits on the faculties of several colleges, universities and training institutions, and is nationally recognized as a leader in the fields of sexuality, sexual development, sexual pharmacology, and medical sexology.
