About the program

TROUBLED DESIRE is a free support service for people who are concerned about their sexual attraction to children. We would like to make it easier for you to deal with this sensitive topic. Take the opportunity to discuss your sexual preferences, understand them better and overcome conflicts. Together we will work on your safety, well-being and healthy behaviour. Together we contribute to the protection of minors and stop the consumption of problematic images.

Explore the possibilities of profound change and think openly with us about your tendencies and behaviour. Immerse yourself in self-testing/assessment and feel free to contact us if you would like to talk to therapists in person.

The use of Troubled Desire and the therapist contacts is anonymous, confidential and subject to professional secrecy. We attach great importance to the protection of your privacy (privacy policy).

🇮🇳 Share your experience to improve support services in India  

 

Reaching out for support can take courage - and many people in India face barriers when trying to do so. We want to better understand these challenges and improve how support is offered.

Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin in collaboration with Don’t Offend India (DOI) is conducting interviews with people living in India to learn how support services can become more accessible, safe, and helpful.

By sharing your perspective, you can help understand what is helpful, what could be improved, and how support services can better reach and support others in the future.

About the interviews:

  • Participation is completely voluntary
  • Your decision to participate will not affect any potential future support from DOI
  • Your privacy and anonymity are protected

 

More details about the interviews are available here.

Movie: Beyond the Clouds

 

Dark secrets, unspoken fears, the fight against oneself - and the hope for change.

In our mini-series, we accompany people who are wrestling with their deepest truths. Ash fights his addiction, Fiona confronts her hidden desires, Joe desperately searches for his identity, and Efron dares to take the step into a life full of empathy. Between guilt and shame, between desire and responsibility, they discover that the key to inner peace lies not in hiding, but in accepting. A look into the highs and lows of the human psyche - honest, touching and full of hope.

Our mini-series is available in the selfhelp section!
