Tiger Woods was photographed leaving a Sexual Addiction clinic and this has brought to life the increasing numbers of cases in Ireland. It is a growing concern in Ireland due in part to more affluence and higher availability, in particular the internet. Eoin Stephen's appeared on The Afternoon Show to discuss the topic and explain that like all other addictions, the tell tale sign is the lack of choice and control. This area of addiction has received notoriety over the last number of years due to a number of celebrities such Michael Douglas and Russell Brand admitting that they had a problem and needed help. Eoin stated that there are an increasing number of therapists in Ireland specialising in Sexual Addiction and that there is a lot of success in the treatment of it. Clients need to be honest about their addiction and make a number of lifestyle changes. Sexual Addiction is a module in year 4 of Diploma & BSc(Hons) in Addiction Counselling, taught by Eoin Stephens.
