He explores the role of CSATs, founded by Dr. Patrick Carnes, who use a trauma-informed, 12-step model focusing on lifelong sobriety. Despite the benefits some find in CSATs, Craig highlights the significant debate surrounding the model, noting that the American Psychiatric Association does not recognize sex addiction as a formal diagnosis. He emphasizes finding a therapy approach and therapist with whom you connect deeply. Additionally, Craig presents his approach, The Mindful Habit, which combines healthy sexuality aspects with the addiction model to achieve a fulfilling life beyond sobriety.
