If you’re motivated to receive help, you’re already on your way to a better life.
Sexual feelings and sexual attraction, like any other feelings, may come and go. They may arise as sudden impulses and may cause us to do things we had no intention or inclination to do.
Most of the time, we have no choice about how we feel. What we can control, on the other hand, is how we behave towards ourselves and others.
The treatment provided under Det finnes hjelp is designed to help you build your skills in achieving positive and healthy life goals while tackling risk factors in a way that prevents harm.
During treatment sessions we will be covering attitudes and values, what happens to children subjected to sexual abuse, how to achieve meaningful intimate adult relationships, and how you can reduce risk situations. For example, for some people it may help to strengthen their sexual interest in adults. Knowing more about what a healthy sexuality is influences the ability to achieve a healthy sexuality.
Studies show that it is possible to achieve positive life changes by directing attention at other meaningful aspects of life and addressing personal relationships that affect the ability to deal with everyday challenges, such as self-regulation of personal emotions and stress management.
The most important thing you can do if you have sexual thoughts about children is to contact us so that you can get help to manage your thoughts and feelings, and find out if treatment is right for you.
