Sexual Abuse Or Other Trauma Is A Major Cause Of
Sex, Love, Romance Addiction & Co-Sex Addiction
In Men & Women

    Many men & women in recovery for sex, love, romance addiction or co-sex addiction do not recall, recollect
    or remember suffering any type of trauma, sex abuse, molestation, rape or incest in their past lives.

    However, the fact that they suffer from sex, love, romance addiction or co-sex addiction is an indication that
    something bad in the form of some type of trauma had in fact happened to them which set them up to
    to experience these types of severe life damaging personal problems.

    Most counselors or therapist would more than likely agree with this theory.

    For some past life trauma victims  dissociation  which is now often called  The Split  or leaving your body is
    responsible for the lack of memories of past life abuse events.

    Another reason could be what is called  displacement  or making their trauma or abuse into something else.

    Sexual compulsivity   also obscures victimization which could be another reason why some addicts
    do not recall or recollect past life trauma or sex abuse.

    Any type of overt or covert trauma or  abuse  can cause people to become addicted
    to sex, love, romance or become co-sexually addicted.

    The abuse or trauma does not have to be overt or covert sexual abuse, molestation, rape or incest.

    John Bradshaw has excellent audio tapes & CD's on  incest & sexual addiction  which explain in detail what
    happens to people who were sexually abused or suffered incest as children & how that set them up to become
    sex, love, romance addicts or co-sex addicts later on in life without evening knowing that
    due to their  denial  &  delusion  & other  defense mechanisms  which are very powerful over them.

    Clearly, not all sex, love, romance addicts or co-sex addicts suffered any type of trauma or abuse in their past
    lives. This could be because someone in past generations had suffered trauma or sexual abuse which was
    kept a close guarded family secret & never dealt with in that generation. What this means is that someone in
    that family will re-enact that abuse in future generations even though the abuse they are re-enacting never
    happened to them personally. In this case The Family Secrets or Sins Of The Fathers is responsible for their
    addiction to sex, love, romance or co-sex addiction according to professionals who diagnose & treat these
    types of personal & family problems. Not easy to understand to say the very least. Consult with professionals.

    If you feel that you may have suffered sexual abuse, rape, molestation or incest as a very young child,
    teenager or young adult rest assured that you are not alone.

    It is estimated that one out of four children in America boys & girls alike become sexually abused, raped or
    molested by someone before they reach the age of eighteen & 80% of them know who their violator was.
    If the abuse was acted out on them by a family member it is called incest which is the most severe type of
    sexual abuse according to John Bradshaw if you can even compare these types of things as all of them are
    as about as bad as abuse can get for a child, teenager or young person.

    If this is the case with you we recommend that you call a professional counselor or therapist
    for expert diagnosis, advice & treatment as sexual abuse, molestation, rape or incest is very serious & not
    something any twelve step recovery program or it's recovering members are qualified to deal with let alone
    advise you on. They can help you stop acting out in sex, love, romance & co-sex addiction by sharing their
    experience strength & hope but they make it real clear they do not offer or practice therapy.

    Professional counseling & therapy is absolutely necessary for all sexual abuse, rape, molestation or incest
    victims or victims of other types of life damaging trauma or abuse in the beginning of the recovery process
    for sex, love, romance addiction or co-sex addiction.

    Researchers estimate that 67% of all people men & women alike who participate
    in 12 Step Recovery Programs for alcoholism, drug addiction, other types of addictions
    or codependency are more than likely past life overt or covert abuse or trauma victims including rape,
    sexual abuse, incest or molestation.

    Sex, Love or Romance Addiction are said to be the most powerful addictions of them all.

    They are always the very last addictions people in recovery for other problems
    such as codependency, alcoholism or drug addiction self identify in themselves.

    Recovery work for these types of personal problems is difficult to say the very least but many past life abuse
    victims who develop sex, love, romance addiction or co-sex addiction do improve & recover if they make their
    personal recovery a number one priority in their lives & work their recovery program diligently.

    John Bradshaw makes it real clear that sexual abuse, rape, molestation or incest is the very worst thing that
    could ever be done to a child. He says that type of abuse affects them adversely for every day of the rest of
    their lives & they may as well have just taken a gun & shot them. That is exactly why sex, love, romance
    addiction or co-sex addiction are not now or ever will be moral issues. Not in the minds of professionals
    who know better or the many recovering addicts who have achieved personal recovery.
    This type of abuse is never the fault of the victim ( child ) period.
    People recovering from sex, love, romance addiction or co-sex addiction must get it that these types of
    personal problems are not about them but what happened to them through no fault of their own period.

Past life overt or covert trauma or sexual abuse often causes propensity to further victimization in adulthood.
All recovering alcoholics, drug addicts, sex, love & romance addicts, co-sex addicts & other types of addicts must
get it that their problems are not about them but what had happened to them in their past life. John Bradshaw
