Sexual Dependency Inventory

The Sexual Dependency Inventory (SDI-V4) is one of the most robust instruments for assisting you in determining if you suffer from sex addiction and would call yourself a sex addict.  Secondly, it helps us determine what behaviors we will focus on in treatment if you are a sex addict or even if you are not a sex addict but just have some sexual behaviors you want to stop.  

The Sexual Dependency Inventory has been revised multiple times and is the most scientific based instrument I have ever seen that measures the many different areas of sexual dependency.  It is such a complex tool that only licensed professionals who have been trained by the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) can administer it and only licensed professionals who have been trained by IITAP should be interpreting the data and making clinical decisions based on that data.    

As a counselor, I can help you understand the data it provides, point out areas of concern, and use it to help you talk about sexual behaviors you may have never talked to anyone else about ever before. Many of my clients who suffer from sex addiction have a lot of shame around these conversations and therefore they get deflective, defensive, closed off, or minimizing during the first few conversations about these behaviors. Looking at the data from the (SDI-V4) and asking specific questions about the results helps make the conversations more matter of fact and focused, therefore leading clients to feel more comfort and less shame when talking about a subject that has brought much discomfort and shame for many years.

Are you a sex addict? Let's look over your results from the Sexual Dependency Inventory and determine that together.

Continuing particular sexual behaviors but cannot seem to stop no matter what methods you try? The SDI will help us see how these addictive sexual behaviors began discussions on how you can make choices and shifts in thinking that will help you stop engaging in sexual behaviors you don't want to engage in anymore.
