Dr. David Fawcett hosts this weekly live webinar with educational content on sex addiction and paired substance use and sexual behavior, primarily focused on aspects of healing and recovery. David’s webinars open with about 15 minutes of education, followed a Q&A session. This is your chance to ask him questions directly (and anonymously). He is not providing therapy with this; he is providing educational information to help support you.
