Ep 61. ADHD, Betrayal, and Compulsive Sexual Behavior with Monifa Ellis-Addie
What is the connection between ADHD and compulsive sexual behavior—and where does understanding end and accountability begin?
In this episode, Carrie sits down with Monifa Ellis-Addie to explore how traits associated with ADHD, including impulsivity, novelty seeking, reward sensitivity, executive functioning challenges, and emotional regulation, can intersect with compulsive sexual behavior and recovery. They also discuss why understanding what is happening underneath the behavior does not excuse betrayal or erase its impact on a partner.
This conversation offers a more nuanced look at recovery—one that makes room for compassion, appropriate ADHD support, accountability, and the deeper work required to create lasting change.
