This is a Social Work Supervisor Discussion on Sexual Addiction and its link to Sexual Abuse.  All right. All right. Looks like we might be streaming and I hope everybody’s doing good today. I gotta start my timer, because this cannot be long. But since we’ve been doing the social work supervisor training I have you know, it is, we’re getting people over to where they can do supervision. , they’re getting certified for supervision. , and so what we want to do is, as we’re, as we’re moving people they’re, they’re going through the training and, and, and, and becoming supervisors.

We’ve got the, you know, with the training, they learn how they can collect clients and things like that. So now we wanna support individuals with being able to have topics and things to learn from, I mean, to share with their supervisor, and supervisees. And so that’s the point of this today, and I’m gonna have to go really fast.

***Note, this article has been transcribed directly from the video.  Feel free to read this article, but it may be best to listen to the video.  Thank you.

 

 The Clinical Supervisor, What We Do In Supervision?

And so this is some of what, what I do in supervision. I just want to give you a little, little bit of insight into that. And we’re gonna call this, this week in supervision. Hopefully I’ll be able to shoot this every week. But if you listen to this, you’re gonna find and learn some compelling information about treatment of traa. I just want to wanna let you know about that. All right.

But I only got about four or five minutes left, so I gotta hurry up. So I’m gonna try to see if I can share my screen here so I can know what I’m talking about. , but typically when I’m working with my supervisees, I’m trying to get them on the level to where they understand, they understand how to work in practice. Oh, shoot, let me, that’s not the one I was wanting to do.

 

I knew that was gonna happen. I just wanna restart. All right. So this is gonna go longer than what I wanted it to, but you know, you can’t, that’s why I didn’t wanna push the go button, cuz I knew soon as I pushed go, it’s gonna be something. But basically I’m wanting to get my supervisees to the point to where they’re understanding how to do therapy in a deeper way than what most people are able to do. ? , they’re understanding traa, they’re understanding the tools that’s needed to be successful and being able to retain clients as they see them. And so there’s certain little tools that you need to know. And so I’m gonna give you an example here as I share my screen of some of the information that will, that we’ve been discussing this week. And I have several supervision groups.

Social Work Test Question

If you’re looking for a Social Work Clinical Supervisor, holla, I got a couple slots. , but for instance so this is kind of how I started it. All right? I started it by, I start supervision by asking them the question, who has the highest rate of PTs? D we have a, a stabbing, a stabbing, or shooting incident B, seeing someone being killed or seriously injured. C , rape and d someone who was physically physical assault or severe beating. But before I answered that question, I wanted to transition into a little bit of a case and I gotta hurry up. Alright? We almost, ugh. So it, here we have an individual. It says, you have a client who’s 4 year, who’s a 4 year old male who reports having issues with pornography. Your client reported being fired from two jobs after being after , typo watching porn.

He has run up a $15, bill on his credit card due to purchases of porn, only fans. I think I got that ran right, or fans only. I, I’m sorry, my, my folks was helping me with that. And Patreon we don’t need to go into what that is, but the client’s wife has caught him texting women on the phone several times, but he denies an affair. What might be a primary cause of the client’s behaviors that will be needed that we will need to eventually rule out? So basically we got a guy, he’s, he’s having some problems with porn. Looks like he might almost be stepping outside of his marriage, but we’re not really sure. His wife has caught him texting, so he’s doing some things inappropriately. ? So we’re not gonna get very far. The thing is, what stands out to you with this client?

How Would A Social Work Supervisor Help A Client With Sex Addiction?

That we need to be looking into what stands out to you with this client. That we need to be looking into where there are several things. As a matter of fact, as I was discussing this with my group, somebody brought up a couple of names. One of ’em was Josh Dugger, and so in looking into that, not to, we, when we, when we call people’s names out like that, we’re not trying to place something negative on ’em. We’re looking at them as this could be my client. How would I help them out?

There’s a problem that they’re having. I’m not looking at them as a criminal, whatever, this and that, not from the therapist standpoint, I’m not. And so I’m looking at it like that. So someone like Josh you know, and I, I said maybe this client is kind of like Josh before the situations with that he got involved with, I believe with his sisters or something like that, that was inappropriate.

 What a Social Work Supervisor Should Know About PTSD

Let’s just pretend maybe this was, this guy was kind of similar, Josh. He can’t stop what he’s doing. ? What is going through your mind about something that I need to rule out with this client before I get into deep into therapy? It’s just some things that need to trigger for us, and I’m going to go directly into that. And so the answer for me is sexual abuse.

This person may have possibly been sexually abused. That’s something for me as a clinician, and everybody’s got their way of doing it. I’ve been very successful at doing it that way that I want to rule out. , and so I’m gonna jp back up here. Who has the highest rate of ptsd? T S D and I had everybody to answer this question. I don’t know if you got the answer to this question yet, but the answer is an astounding c rape.

 

As a matter of fact I don’t know if I have the stats here. When you look at rape, rape has occurred when rape has occurred. Always rule out P T S D and 49% of individuals who have been raped particularly, I don’t know if this was geared towards women, but 49% of them experience signs and symptoms of P T S D within the first couple of weeks. So we need to be looking at P T S D as a comorbid, and here’s some other interesting stats we need to be looking at. And I can’t go through all this, come to my supervision. You can learn it, but we need to be looking at this as a comorbid when we’re looking at people who have experienced traa, and there’s a lot of busy in of the mind when you have experienced that.

 A Clinical Supervisor Should Understand the Aftermath of Rape

So what is the aftermath of rape? I’m having to skip y’all. I’m having to skip. No, let’s go back to this. The reason why I’m saying you gotta look at sexual abuse is because of this. Let me see if I got this clip ready. Boom, right there. All right. I don’t know how many of you all have heard of a man named Patrick Karnes, my boy Aaron Schaffer. Man, I need you to present on this man.

Aaron is a specialist and he was sexual addiction. And he has that cert that’s, I don’t know if you’ve heard of a certification is CSAT or something like that. But basically you’re working with addictions. A lot of times you work with sexual traa, they teach you how to work with these individuals even in a more intense way. But the stat here I I can’t do this in five minutes is that right here, research has shown a very high correlation exists between childhood abuse and sexual addiction and adulthood.

 Statistics on Sex Addiction and Childhood Abuse

The graph shows the percentage of adult sex addicts who have reported experiencing specific types of childhood abuse. Look at the nbers here, y’all, 83% of individuals, and these are individuals who, again, this guy that, that was our case study, has been demonstrating that maybe he’s been having possible sexual abuse type tendencies. He can’t stop is showing his impact in his social occupational interpersonal concerns. And so there’s more of a problem than what we just see with just cheating men. ?

So boom, 83%. So that’s almost everybody according to Patrick Carnes that has been sex, that has sexual addiction has been sexually abused, but not just that, almost all of them have been emotionally abused and physically abused. , let’s move on real quick. So some of, there’s a lot of things that we talked about this in, in, in a session that we gotta be looking for when we’re talking about the aftermath of rape and things of that nature, ?

Sexual abuse, sexual abuse, rape a little bit different, but I’m summarizing this. What happens with people, people with rape. And so we showed a video about what happens with individuals who have experienced, some of them experience signs and symptoms of promiscuity. ? I’m going really fast on this, so I’m gonna miss a lot. So, but we played the video with the young lady who had been like that described herself.

Why Were Survivors Abused?

The question is, have you ever thought about why someone who has been sexually abused? We know that many times they can be promiscuous, but if I’m trying to treat that, I need to know what’s going on on their, in their minds that’s making them wanna do that. And so here’s a list of things. , trust is destroyed. And we showed some additional videos with people who had had experiences like that.

 

We profiled ’em, we cased them, we tried to talk about what we would do to treat ’em, shame, self-worth not worthy of being loved doesn’t feel like she has talent. Nothing to contribute in relationship. These things are what that feeling. And when we identify that, that’s how we’re gonna get to develop in our treatment plan?

We don’t have a lot of time, no time to talk about that, but that, that’s what we on, that’s what we on. , if you don’t learn anything from this, I want you to keep in mind that any time you see someone who had male or female who has a sex addiction problem, I have, and this guy has been quoted by the NIH and things like that. He’s a well-known guy. He’s been on Oprah, ? I don’t know if his stats a hundred percent, but the only reason I came across this is because I’ve been seeing it in therapy and I couldn’t find anything to support it.

The Social Worker Supervisor Should Study Patrick Carnes

I’ve been seeing this in therapy like crazy, y’all. ? And so I’m like, there’s something to this. And I was so happy to find this guy Patrick Carnes, that’s been on this since in the eighties, got to go. So we’re gonna try to do this every week. If you’re looking for supervision, give us a call. If you’re looking for , the supervisor training we have for you we get into some of this kind of stuff that you need to know. , and so just keep that in mind and hopefully this has been helpful. All right? You take care.
