Day 1
Breakout Session #4: Sex & Porn Addiction and Betrayal Trauma in a Digital World
Jenn Driver MA, DNP-PMHNP Intern, CSAT, CSTS, CCTP and
Drew Driver, MA, LPC, LCPC, CSAT, NCC
The digital landscape has transformed how sex and porn addiction develops and how betrayal trauma is experienced by partners. This session explores key shifts, including dating apps, digital infidelity, and the rise of AI companion technology and synthetic content.
Clinicians will gain a clear understanding of how these factors accelerate the addiction cycle and create unique forms of betrayal trauma often missed in traditional assessment. The presentation covers concepts such as the “real person defense,” partial digital discovery, device transparency, and emerging patterns of AI attachment. Participants will leave with expanded intake questions, practical clinical language, and tools ready for immediate use.
