Tiger Woods Seeks Sexual Addiction Recovery
The media is buzzing with the latest news on Tiger Woods allegedly checking himself into “sex rehab.” People Magazine called our Clinical Director, Sharon O’Hara, to ask for her expert opinion on whether or not therapy is right for Woods and if he’s even a sex addict at all:
“Sharon O’Hara, clinical director of the Sexual Recovery Institute of Los Angeles, says she doesn’t know where Woods is, but thinks it’s more likely that he’d have a therapist come to him privately rather than check into a clinic. Still, she adds, he could benefit from being ‘with other guys with the same problem.’
She and Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew, think the fact that the golfer supposedly had months-long affairs with some of his mistresses is evidence of a “love addiction” more than sex obsession.
‘The feature here that has caught everyone’s attention is that he seems to be maintaining relationships with all these people – not just have sex with them,’ says Pinsky. ‘Exactly what’s behind that, that’s the part that hasn’t come out yet … We’re speculating sex and love are the primary issues. They may not be.’
O’Hara agrees, saying, ‘Apparently he also has a need to be adored, to see himself reflected in their eyes and have it mean something.’”
