Porn, AI, and Compulsivity: What Clinicians Need to Know Now

This ONLINE LIVE event will prepare you for what’s already happening. AI chatbots that simulate intimacy. Algorithms that escalate content faster than the brain can adapt. Deepfake tools that let anyone create non-consensual sexual imagery in seconds. The landscape of compulsive sexual behavior has changed — and most clinicians haven't been trained for what's walking into their offices.

This 90-minute training bridges that gap. Grounded in current neuroscience, attachment theory, and affect-regulation research, this session equips clinicians with the frameworks to understand how emerging technologies are accelerating compulsive sexual behavior — and the clinical tools to treat it without shame.

What you'll learn:

  • Three technology-driven shifts reshaping compulsive sexual behavior presentations — and the distinct clinical concerns each raises

  • How attachment insecurity and emotion dysregulation explain why these technologies are so potent for vulnerable individuals

  • A practical, evidence-based accountability-without-shame treatment approach, including relational repair and skill-building components

  • Assessment language, clinical vignettes, and red flags specific to technology-mediated CSB

Who should attend: OHIO Licensed counselors, therapists, and clinical social workers — whether new to compulsive sexual behavior or looking to update their practice for the AI era.

CE Credits: 1.5 hours Ohio CSWMFT Board approved
