Anxiety

Hello, I don't masturbate a lot, maybe once a week, sometimes once in two weeks. I know it's normal at this age but it always makes me feel guilty and regretful and depressed as if I am violating something. Also I can't you suppress my sexual needs cuz that's not okay too. What should I do?

Not a expert in this but as long as you do this in limits it’s healthy and what your doing is in limits. It shouldn’t become a addiction as then it can be a problem

I don't know. Ig I am pretty open minded and non judgy on this issue as I mentioned. I mean I know that it's normal and stuff but still a part of me thinks it's a sin, i don't know like it's not necessary or something. Like IT'S NOT NECESSARY and what's the point kind of.

Hi I appreciate your response. It would be helpful if we dig into the core belief of viewing it as a sin . Would you like to work on it in a confidential non judgmental session?
