Have you ever caught yourself saying something like, "A part of me really wants to open up and be vulnerable in my relationships, but another part of me is terrified of getting hurt"? Or maybe you've noticed how one part of you is eager to try therapy and heal, while another part keeps coming up with reasons to cancel your appointments.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. These internal conflicts are not only normal, they're a sign that different parts of your personality are trying to protect you, each in their own way.

Many people struggle silently with questions about their sexual behaviors. You might find yourself wondering: "Is this normal?" "Am I addicted?" "Why can't I seem to stop?" These questions often come with heavy feelings of shame, confusion, and isolation.

Let's start with something important: asking these questions doesn't mean there's something wrong with you as a person. It means you're aware enough to reflect on your behaviors and brave enough to seek understanding.
