Porn Addiction
The use of porn can be a problem if it stops you from functioning in your day to day life:
For example:
You are always late at work because you were unable to stop watching porn and get ready to go to work on time.
You don’t turn up to work and call in sick because you would rather continue watching porn.
You constantly avoid social occasions with friends because you prefer spending time with porn.
You organise your day schedule so that you can be alone at home to watch porn.
Porn is your primary way to cope with your emotions: you use porn when you feel sad, bored, anxious, stressed, happy, uncertain.
You constantly prefer to watch porn rather than have sex with your partner to the point where you feel uncomfortable having sex with your partner.
You feel irritated if your partner’s presence prevents you from watching porn.
You injure your penis because you have masturbated for too long or too hard.
You develop anxiety about your sexual performance.
You develop anxiety about the shape of your body and the size of your penis.
You are unable to stop despite significant negative consequences as a direct result of your porn use.
My treatment model of porn addiction includes:
Behavioural approach to help identifying the levels of porn use and masturbation that is wanted from what is unwanted.
Learning new ways to self-soothe and cope with the negative feelings about life: stress, anxiety, feeling low, feeling bored, feeling unfulfilled, feeling bad.
Deep exploration of your sexuality.
Deep exploration of your core beliefs.
An examination of cognitive processes.
Re-instating balance in life.
Healing the possible trauma(s) underlying the roots of porn addiction.
Healing the romantic and sexual relationship that has been damaged by problematic porn use, if appropriate.
Re-integrating porn use into a diverse and fulfilling sexuality with self and others.
I use specific psychological interventions to help people leave their porn addiction behind, permanently and change their lives positively.
