    52: Addiction, Compulsions & Impulsivity, OH MY!

    I was so excited to have had the Siegel brothers back on the show to talk about all the language that gets thrown around - consistently in clinically inaccurate ways. Especially in conservative and high-demand religious communities, the term “addiction” gets used not only by lay people, but other mental health professionals, in ways that pathologize people’s sexuality.
