Shame and Identity

Posted on June 9, 2009
Filed Under General Sexual Addiction, Pornography Addiction, Shame |

Maurine Proctor, editor-in-chief for Meridian Magazine, an online LDS magazine, recently wrote two fantastic articles on the topics of shame and identity. Since sexual addiction kills the spirituality of those who struggle with it, it’s critical that spiritual solutions are sought out as the basis treatment. Understanding personal worth and value, especially how God sees us, is critical to our emotional and spiritual well-being. Those who enter and stay in long-term recovery understand their true worth and value. They don’t berate themselves for mistakes. They learn from mistakes and continue to move forward with gratitude for the lessons learned. God is not some umpire waiting to call us out. He’s a loving Father who seeks after the well-being and safety of His children. Thank you, Maurine, for teaching such powerful truths on shame and identity. Exposing these falsehoods is a major step in healing sexual addiction.
