A honest-talking, no barriers podcast for anyone that wants to know more about about sexual health, HIV/STD/Hepatitis C prevention, PrEP, LGBTQ inclusivity, substance use disorder, sexual positivity and other topics that most people avoid (or have "feelings" talking about). We give it to you honestly and bring in experts to share their advice and opinions.
In this episode, host Andy Reid talks with Donal Clifford about problematic sexual behavior, sexual addiction, pornography and support for people who develop an addiction to sex.
Donal is a Psychotherapist (M.I.A.C.P, M.A.C.I) specializing in sexual addictions / compulsions, problematic or addictive porn use, and relationship and intimacy issues.
Donal is a trained addiction counsellor. He worked at a residential addiction center for almost six years, during which he trained as a Psychotherapist and completed a BA in psychotherapy. Following this, Donal trained as a sexual addiction therapist with leading expert, Paula Hall, in the UK.
As well as working in private practice since 2013, Donal began developing the Sex And Love Therapy (S.A.L.T.) program in 2014. The S.A.L.T program is a customized group therapy service which supports people in regulating their problematic sexualized behavior, and eliminates any internalized shame or isolation that may be associated with it. The S.A.L.T. program became part of the Sexual Health Centre in Cork (Ireland) in 2020, and has seen a steady rise in individuals seeking counselling for sexual and relational concerns.
