Overview
Porn and sex addiction are complex behavioural disorders characterised by an individual’s compulsive engagement in sexual activities, including excessive consumption of pornography, despite harmful consequences to their personal, professional, and social life. These addictions can lead to significant distress, shame, and impairment in various aspects of an individual’s life. At Nawa Wellness, our specialised retreat offers comprehensive and personalised treatment for individuals struggling with porn and sex addiction, providing them with the tools and support needed to overcome their compulsive behaviours, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and improve their overall well-being.
