In this conversation I speak with Silva Neves. Silva is a psychotherapist, and a specialist in psychosexual & relationship therapy. Silva is accredited with COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists) and UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and is a course director for CICS (The Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology).
He also focusses on couples therapy and the treatment of compulsive sexual behaviours. He is a trauma psychotherapist experienced in working with survivors of sexual abuse. He is also a clinical supervisor to psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors and other mental health professionals. He has recently in May 2021 written a book; ‘Compulsive Sexual Behaviour - A Psycho-Sexual Treatment Guide for Clinicians’.
In the conversation we explore the use of terminology in CSB and why the term 'sex addiction' is not an encompassing and appropriate phase. We also explore why people use sex to deal with emotion, shame and its sequalea, the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) principles, individual course correction, childhood linkage, the second victim and Silva's overall reflections. Please enjoy this conversation with a fantastic and insightful guest.
