Single – Investing in Me & Preparing for Dating ($115/session.)
If you’re interested in being in a relationship at any point in your life, one of the best investments you can make is in yourself. Investing in yourself is one of the best ways to positively impact your future. It’s not unusual for someone to attend college and spend between $50,000 and $120,000 on a college education as they invest in their education. It’s not unusual for people to take out a 30-year mortgage for a house and “invest” $150, 000 - $350,000 on a home. Yet, when thinking about your personal future, your spouse and children, most people don’t make a true investment in preparing for the most important aspect of their lives and their most important relationship.
If you want to ensure that your most important relationship is all that you want it to be, the place to start is by investing yourself so that you can be your very best you and then develop the skills, knowledge, and tools to prepare for dating your ideal spouse. Years from now when you look back at the moment you decided to invest in yourself, you’ll be so glad that you did. Great relationships don’t happen by accident. . . . They happen on purpose. Prepare for the most important aspects of your future. Invest in yourself, be intentional!!

With pornography addiction, the addict is compulsively thinking about and using pornography in one form or another. Sex addiction is sex-related behavior, usually characterized by obsessive and compulsive sexual thoughts and behavior, that has a detrimental impact a person’s normal life. Behaviors associated with sex addiction can include: making sex a higher priority than other aspects of life, affairs, prostitution, strip clubs, pornography, voyeurism, compromising the safety of one's self and family in the pursuit of sex. Love addiction is a phenomenon in which one person become addicted to another the way a cocaine addict would be addicted to cocaine. Love addicts have the following characteristics: (1) they are dependent on another individual (emotionally and possibly physically); (2) they are enmeshed with another person (they have lost their sense of identity and don’t know who they are); they are compulsively focused on taking care of the other person (Pia Melody, 1992). For the topics of pornography/sex addiction & love addiction, we employ a mentorship/recovery approach.
