Description: This streaming video is the second part in a series of three videos, The Sex Addicted Brain Part I: Brain Matters, The Sex Addicted Brain Part II: Mind Matters, and Healing the Sex Addicted Brain. Having already learned about the diagnostic and clinical issues and the brain functions that when impaired, produce the clinical symptoms we see in those with sex addiction, this video, The Sex Addicted Brain PartII: Mind Matters, you will journey deeper into the making of a sex addicted brain. You will explore the relation between early childhood neglect and trauma and the developing brain, and how, when even the seemingly unintentional aspects of infancy and early childhood go awry, it can produce a devastating set of psychological problems that often, if left untreated, can last a lifetime. You will explore issues of dissociation, arousal dysregulation, severe attachment and intimacy issues, personality impairment, and the issues of shame and re-traumatization. There is a subset of individuals with NPD that also have a sexual addiction, and while individuals with NPD do not necessarily have a sexual addiction, those that have a sexual addiction do have NPD. In sum, SA is a serious disorder that effects not just the individual, but those in their inner circle, as well as society. In addition to the individual and their loved ones, SA also has a significant impact on society. This video, Part II is the perfect compliment to Part I, and will take you through the final video of the series, Part III, that focuses on the treatment for a sexual addiction.
Presenter Info: With a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, Dr Ullman has been educating, researching, diagnosing and treating individuals, couples, groups, families, and first responders for trauma and addiction-based disorders for 30 years, and has devoted both her research efforts and clinical work to the diagnoses and treatment specific to disorders of arousal dysregulation. This population includes children and adults that have experienced early childhood trauma such as sexual abuse, neglect, and/or violence. Unfortunately and through no fault of their own, a great many of these children, unable to self-regulate their emotions secondary to their abuse, develop issues in adulthood such as substance (drug and alcohol) and process (sex, food, self-harm, gambling) addictions, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), explosive uncontrollable anger, and personality distortions that may include Narcissistic (NPD) and Borderline (BPD) personality disorders. In addition to teaching at various colleges and universities, Dr Ullman is an active emergency disaster responder for military and governmental agencies when disaster strikes, and maintains a private practice in the Philadelphia (mainline) Pennsylvania area of the United States. In addition to the local office, a considerable portion of her practice includes a national and international clientele via HIPAA/HITECH-compliant telemental health video web-therapy around the world.
