Chemsex
Most people hear that word and think they already know what it means.
The reality is, they usually don’t.
Chemsex isn’t just about the drugs. It isn’t just about sex either.
For many people it’s about escaping, coping, connection, confidence, loneliness, trauma, shame or simply trying to quieten a brain that never seems to switch off. Sometimes it’s all of those things at once.
We also know there’s a significant overlap between chemsex and neurodivergence, particularly ADHD. That doesn’t mean ADHD causes chemsex, but it can help explain why some people become caught in a cycle that’s incredibly difficult to break.
Recovery isn’t about judgement.
It’s about understanding what’s underneath the behaviour in the first place.
Because until we understand why, it’s very difficult to change what.
That’s where coaching can make a real difference.
Having someone alongside you to help make sense of what’s happening, explore what’s driving it, and support you to move towards the life you actually want.
No judgement.
No labels.
Just honest conversations and practical support.
We’re looking at introducing Chemsex Coaching sessions on Mondays and Fridays.
Before we do, we’d like to know…
Would this be something you’d find helpful?
We’re simply trying to understand whether this is a service people would genuinely use.
Let us know below or send us a private message.
