February 20th
In this webinar, we’ll explore the lasting impact of a parent’s sex addiction on their children and the unique challenges they face in adulthood. We’ll examine how both parents, in different ways, contribute to the dysfunction of a family system affected by sex addiction and how this trauma disrupts healthy development across all aspects of an adult child’s life. Finally, we’ll discuss the healing journey for Adult Children of Sex Addicts (ACSAs), offering insights, strategies, and hope for recovery and resilience.
