Book ID/图书代码： 09700011B48291

English Summary/英文概要： Sex addicts live with a compulsion they just canít shake an inner voice that compels them to seek pornography, pursue sexual encounters with strangers, and do everything they can to gratify the sexual urges that wonít go away. But people with sex addictions can learn to enjoy lives of productivity and purpose and develop true intimate connections with others. Breaking the Cycle helps readers learn to identify the triggers and compulsive thoughts that keep them trapped in the cycle of addiction and offers skills for countering those thoughts instead of simply caving to them. By drawing on their deepest values and ideals, readers find the strength to separate their true selves from their obsessive thoughts. Gradually, using exposure techniques, readers develop resistance to their former triggers and make sex addict behavior, and then the addictive thoughts themselves, a thing of the past.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对于某群人来说，性成瘾已经成为一种强迫症，他们从内心深处强迫自己阅读色情文学，在陌生人中寻找性伴侣，并尽一切可能满足自己挥之不去的性欲。但事实上患有性成瘾的人可以学会享受充满活力和目标的生活，并与他人建立真正的亲密关系。《打破循环》将帮助读者学会识别那些让他们陷入恶性循环的引爆器和强迫思维，并教会他们用技巧克服那种想法而不是简单的迎合它们。通过利用他们最深远的价值观和理想，读者将学会如何把真正的自己从淫乱的思想中解救出来。渐渐地，读者通过曝光技巧将对以前的性欲引爆器产生抵制，从而克服性欲。久而久之，那些淫乱的思想必将成为过去。(兼职翻译—XMM)

Awards/获奖情况：“Breaking the Cycle by George Collins is a 911 call that can save your life and those you love from sex addiction, porn obsession, and shame. Honest, stark, hard-hitting and yet hopeful, Collins lays out the steps required to wrestle self-control back from your sexually compulsive impulses. In your darkest time, Breaking the Cycle brings the light you are looking for!”---Don Elium, MFT, adjunct faculty at John F. Kennedy University and author of Raising a Son

“Prior to reading this book, I had been acting out my sexually compulsive behaviors for forty years. Each chapter is filled with specific experiences and emotions that I have struggled with in the past. As a result of the techniques described in this book, my addiction has faded away.”---Ralph, sex addict in recovery in Rhode Island

“This book offers a raw look into the world of sex addicts. George Collins’ courageous self-revelation of his own sex addiction has helped hundreds of men and women to find what is essential for rehabilitation inside themselves. His ‘I’ll pay you to just be honest’ conversation with the sex worker and client was itself worth the cost of the book!”---Don L. Mathews, MFT, director of the Impulse Treatment Center

“This is gripping stuff, and a real page-turner of a book. The real-life stories have the ring of truth, and the dialogue is unmistakably real. The use of trenchant, memorable lines, like, ‘you can’t get enough of what won’t satisfy you,’ really get the message across.”---Bob, sex addict in recovery in California

“This book draws on over twenty-five years of Collins’ work with hundreds of clients. The book is practical and clearly presents excellent exercises that can help readers progressively free themselves from the grip of sexual compulsions. Most of all, it provides hope.”---Mark Robinett, MFT, therapist in San Francisco and San Rafael, CA

Collins’ take on the mental obsession leading to physical addiction and subsequent negative consequence is pure poetry for the troubled romantic soul. Even if you are NOT an addict, you will find this book a useful GPS to navigate new neighborhoods of abnormal thinking in people you know or will encounter someday. On a personal note, I am honored to be mentioned and I am grateful he didn’t abbreviate First Thought Wrong even one time. Thank you, George, for taking First Thought Wrong from sexual to helpful, hopeful and safe.”---Mark Lundholm, internationally recognized stand-up comedian and creator of The Recovery Board Game and the DVD series Humor in Treatment
