Tigers been in the news an awful lot lately, and not for his prowess on the golf course.

Although Tiger’s case is extreme, there are many people who are afflicted by a  compulsive sex drive.  Although there is debate on the details of sex addiction from a clinical standpoint, the end result is the same – families are shattered, careers are derailed and personal lives become public disgraces.

Dr. Kathleene Derrig-Palumbo, a clinical psychologist based in Southern California, sees a silver lining in the Tiger case.  “If Tiger uses this opportunity to bring awareness to the very serious repercussions of sex addiction, perhaps more people will reach out to a professional for help before the situation escalates and degenerates … and it nearly always does.”

Dr. Derrig-Palumbo recommends using Online Counseling to reach out initially, especially if there is a sense of shame that prevents someone from going to see a counselor in person.  “With online counseling, there is an enhanced sense of anonymity – and that opens the door for people who otherwise would not go get help in person.
