"Any traditional, trauma-driven male sex or porn addict will easily find himself in the chapters of this enlightening look at how the inner child impacts sexual compulsivity. This is an excellent and necessary examination of the 'why' of sex and porn addiction, helpful primarily to men in sexual recovery who've established initial sobriety and need deeper, longer-term work to heal and remain sober."
Robert Weiss Ph.D., LCSW, author of Sex Addiction 101, Prodependence,and other books
"Going Deeper is about seeing your unwanted sexual behavior as a clarion call to heal the underlying heartaches in your story. A seasoned clinician, Eddie Capparucci has learned that self-destructive behaviors are correlated to the emotional pain and trauma that continues to haunt the inner child. Rather than developing strategies and techniques to manage your behavior, you are invited to something better: to connect with and strengthen the child within you."
Jay Stringer, Psychotherapist and author of Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing
"Too often, when dealing with sexual addictions in men, we remain focused on the symptoms of the acting out behaviors rather than peeling back these external layers to uncover the wounded inner child within.Eddie Capparucci has done a masterful job of exposing the key emotional triggers that lie at the root of most men's sexual addictions. With grace and clarity, Going Deeper will help men understand and respond to these triggers in practical, redemptive ways. I highly recommend this book to both the men who struggle with sexually addictive strongholds and the people who love and care for them."
Jonathan Daugherty, Founder & President of Be Broken Ministries
"Eddie Capparucci has hit the nail on the head with this book. He goes directly to the core issues of why people seek comfort from sex addictions and pornography. By describing the nine reasons why men abuse sex, he stresses the importance of healing the Inner Child whose legitimate,unmet needs to create chaos and addiction in adult life. This is a valuable and practical read on an issue that has reached epidemic proportions with the advent of the internet."

"Eddie has done a wonderful job in identifying the core issues that negatively impact a sex addict's life in a simple and understandable way. We all carry our training (experiences) from our childhood with us, and we must identify and understand them in order to create the new "Man." Men struggling with sexual addiction who read this book will not only start the journey to uncover their inner child but will find practical skills along the way to move toward overall health."

"This book is a must-read for men working on long-term change and freedom from sexual addiction. Eddie Capparucci has it right: acknowledging and comforting our inner child while setting loving limits around his behavior is the key to enduring recovery."

"This valuable addition to the field of sex addiction books explains in plain language how early life experiences can influence present-day behavior, especially for people who struggle with sexual behavior that goes against their commitments, values, and self-control. The "plain talking" style is very effective in talking about a topic that can be difficult for some people to understand. The ability to identify the needs of the wounded inner child is essential for a person who is wrestling with impulses and fantasies that may at first seem confusing. This book helps the reader ask the right questions to understand how to manage emotional challenges that can interfere with real and lasting sex addiction recovery. This is a very practical book that is sure to help many people."
