Suppression vs. Obsession Concerning Sexuality

In this episode, Rachael shares some of her research into sexual compulsions, including the difference between obsession and suppression. She outlines what each relationship looks like, and offers advice on abandoning these behaviors and re-ordering ourselves back to a virtuous view of our bodies. This is a great episode to listen to following Rachael’s “Purity Culture” episode: Season 5, Episode 1. Welcome to a place of honesty, hope, and healing for women struggling with sexual addiction.
