In 2017 I started Richer Life Recovery to help those struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors including those who with sexual addiction and pornography addiction. Along with helping repair and strengthen relationships that are damaged by compulsive sexual behaviors.
Richer Life Recovery has been developed Tyler Rich a marriage and family therapist who has been working with both hurt partners and individuals who have compulsive sexual behavior since 2015. Richer Life Recovery has three pillars of focus in helping you recover from the harmful effects of sexual addiction and pornography addiction.
Recovery Pillar One
Understanding The Nature of Addiction.
Part of our nature as people are developing ways to process and cope with the world around us. Some coping drives connection, growth, and has positive outcomes. Yet for most coping leads to disconnection, feeling stuck and has adverse effects in your life. Everyone has developed unhealthy ways to numb, and if you are not careful, numbing behaviors turn to addictions. Richer Life Recovery focuses on how numbing behaviors turn into an addiction, by looking at how our brain works. Part of recovery from sexual addiction, porn addiction, or sexually compulsive behaviors is to understand how these behavior have affected our brain and how we have to reboot our brain.
Recovery Pillar Two
Understanding and Healing Yourself.
Looking deeper into yourself, and your habits, behaviors, and thoughts is required for long term recovery. From looking at how your sexual addiction, porn addiction was formed to how come it is so hard to give up those behaviors. Learning to understand your own denial, shame, and other emotions affect your life. This pillar drives you to learn how to take responsibility for your actions, without living in judgment but developing a more profound level of self-compassion.
Recovery Pillar Three
Repairing, Healing & Strengthing Relationships
We all have relationships, and when you are struggling with sex addiction, porn addiction, or sexual compulsive behaviors, your relationship are negatively affected. Learning how your actions have negative impacting your romantic relationship, family and friends is an essential step in repairing. You will learn how to improve your relationship no matter what the damage. Heal the hurts that your behaviors have caused, and then strengthen your relationship.
All three of the pillars guide our online recovery program, group therapy, and all of our online free content.
How Richer Life Recovery Is Healing Sexual Addiction & Porn Addiction
Our goal at Richer Life Recovery is to provide a comprehensive perspective on how to recover from sex addiction and porn addiction. We developed our program outside of religious or cultural views about sex. Families, marriages and lives have been ruined because of a one person sexual behavior. Using the 3 pillars of recovery, we avoid using religious dogma to convict addicts of stopping. Our goal is to provide resources for individuals struggling with sexual addiction, porn addiction, or compulsive sexual behaviors with our blog post. Along with helping partners of those individuals to learn how to help repair, heal and strengthen relationships.

Tyler Rich Psychotherapist
I love being a therapist because being a therapist is unlike any other role I could have in someone’s life. Therapists help you look deep within yourself and your relationship and help you change from the bottom up. While coaches, trainers, mentors can help you change they usually work from the top down focusing on making behavior changes and that’s it. I love when I have worked with a client who has a profound insight into who they are leading to deep long-lasting positive change in their life.
Becoming a Therapist
Growing up I always found myself helping, teaching, and guiding others. From being an Eagle Scout to taking leadership positions in my church, I was always called to help. This led me to focus on earning a human service degree at university. After graduating I worked in the corporate world, after about a decade of my life working the grind for a corporation, I decided it was time to reignite my passion for helping people. Earning my masters in marriage, family and child therapy, I developed the skills to help people when they are struggling the most.
Founding Richer Life Recovery
While I never struggled with sexual addiction, porn addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior. While in graduate school I started working in a porn addiction recovery program. This religious led program thought me a lot about working with men, women and hurt partners. After leaving that program, I developed my private therapy practice at Richer Life Counseling focusing on helping couples heal from affairs, and help sexual addiction, porn addiction with individual therapy. This led me to start to develop workbooks and run a recovery group. At the encouragement of the clients in my personal practice and recovery group, I have formed an online course to help anyone who is struggling with sexual addiction and pornography addiction.
What Makes Richer Life Recovery Different from Other Online Coaches, or Programs?
Most online programs fall into one of two categories, one they are run by “coaches” who are recovering sexual addicts or porn addicts or two they are a religious organization or influenced by religion. While those programs provide help to many people who are struggling, they are not for everyone. Many other online recovery programs are limited in their focus and start with a top-down approach just focusing on change behavior. At Richer Life Recovery we help you change your behavior, but also look deeper inside yourself to become the person you want to be and have the relationships you want in your life. Our program is built on years of psychological research in addiction, personal development and relationships.
