Porn Addiction Therapy
Has Porn Addiction Taken Over Your Life?
Are you staying up all hours of the night looking at pornography?
Do you worry if you deleted all the sites and photos on your phone or computer?
Is your marriage in jeopardy because you can’t stop looking at porn?
Have you lost interest in sex with your partner because of pornography use?
These are common experiences of someone who has lost control of their consumption and has become addicted. There are many consequences including jeopardizing ones position at work, marital issues, financial and/or legal issues that result from compulsive pornography use.
To make matters worse, the amount of time spent in consumption of porn makes it so they are less likely to live a happy fulfilling life and not able to reach their fullest potential. Porn addiction treatment can help.
So Many Struggle With Porn Addiction In Silence?
Addictive use of pornography is a prevalent issue. The availability of internet porn makes it readily available to so many. Studies show that exposure to pornography at an early age increases the likeness and severity of porn addiction issues later in life.
Many suffer in silence because of the shame involved in admitting to this behavior. Individuals addicted to porn hide their use and rarely seek help until they are confronted with a consequence such as getting caught by a spouse, job loss, legal issues and a host of other consequences. Typically it’s not until a person is “found out” that they seek porn addiction help.
Porn Addiction Therapy Can Help You Stop The Cycle
The primary symptom of porn addiction is the inability to stop the behavior despite a desire to to do so. In other words no matter what the person afflicted with this addiction can not stop. The urging of family, loss of job or many other negative consequences are not strong enough to change their behavior. If they were able to stop on their own they would have many years ago.
It is imperative if you are struggling with pornography addiction to get the support and help you need to learn the skills necessary to stop the behavior and heal the underlying issues. This is why porn addiction counseling with someone who specializes in sexual addiction can make the difference.
What Does Working With Me Look Like?
Over our time working together we would first get clear on your bottom line acting out behaviors, the ones you want to abstain from - including the pornography. Then we create an abstinence structure and behavioral recovery routine designed to get you through the early stages of abstaining from porn. Then we work closely together to uncover the underlying issues causing the compulsive porn use. By the end you will have a solid foundation in recovery and be able to stop.
Working with me includes weekly therapy, accountability and curriculum designed to establish sexual sobriety while simultaneously healing the underlying issues that are causing the sexual acting out.
Results? How Do My Clients Do After Working With Me?
I get this question all the time: “What is the success rate of your clients”?
Success can be defined in several ways. But there are 2 main indicators: 1) Were they able to stop their compulsive porn consumption. 2) Have they gained a degree of happiness and contentment in life while abstaining from their sexual addiction?
The first question is clear cut. During our work together we define all bottom line behaviors, the ones they want to abstain from including pornography. So it is easy for my clients to report if they are sexually sober or not. About 80% remain abstinent during the course of porn addiction therapy and beyond. All gain the skills necessary to stop their behavior long term.
The second question is more subjective because each person has varying degrees of inner turmoil. But if a person is willing to create a recovery routine that allows them time to stop their addictive sexual behavior for an extended period of time while simultaneously healing underlying issues, even the most complex inner distress can be relieved in a short period of time.
My Unique Porn Addiction Treatment Approach
So many men who are struggling with porn addiction are encouraged to go to residential treatment. While this may be necessary for some, these programs are typically very expensive ($30K-$45K) and they have to commit to 15-30 days away from work and family.
My approach to porn addiction treatment combines some of the aspects of residential treatment including accountability, recovery structure, and curriculum without the large cost. And without the time away from work and/or family. My clients get all the benefits of treatment while remaining at home with little interruption to their lives.
