Can Fetish Disorder be Cured or Outgrown?
Fetishes can be treated by seeking help from medical professionals. Some common treatments for fetish disorder are psychotherapy, aversion therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps a person discover the cause of their fetish then teach them skills on how to control or manage their sexual urges in a healthier way. On the other hand, aversion therapy involves making a person imagine themselves indulging their fetish and then experiencing a negative effect afterwards. This would help them lose interest in entertaining their fetish.
Doctors may also prescribe medications for use during therapy and some of these include antidepressants and anti-anxiety medicines.
Key Takeaway
Fetishes are unusual acts, and oftentimes these cross the line and become dangerous to other people. Those with fetish disorder must have the initiative to seek treatment, especially if they end up hurting someone, or harming the relationships they are in.
