These 3 activities can never become automatic. (This statement is FALSE — all of the statements above are TRUE.)
Together these three skills work as one system: the Containment Technique handles the small, annoying thoughts and feelings, the 2-Minute Surf Sequence manages the full compulsive surge, and meditation makes the whole system durable. If you’d like help putting these skills into practice, our clinicians offer sexual compulsion recovery treatment in person at our Pleasant Grove, Utah clinic and by telehealth across Utah, Arizona, and Idaho.
