Begin Again Institute programs all focus on stopping destructive behaviors by understanding and treating the root cause of addiction. To do this, we use the Trauma-Induced Sexual Addiction (TINSA®) model. The model posits that trauma is the result of being injured while being vulnerable or authentic.
To heal, you must identify the trauma and understand your automatic reaction to it. Then, you can make connections between the trauma and your responses. Once you understand these components, you can learn skills to stop the harmful behavior.
