What Keeps You Going Back To Porn?
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 06. 2024
- When you consume porn consistently, frequently, and with increasing intensity, you're training your brain to keep going back to the screen.
As you continue training your brain in this way, the neural pathways strengthen, and you'll find yourself relying on porn to self-soothe, go to sleep, fight off boredom, and become aroused.
When seeking to rewire your brain towards healthy neural pathways and ways of thinking, oftentimes, you'll need support from a program or coach.
Luckily, Dr. Trish Leigh offers porn addiction recovery programs and personalized neurofeedback brain training to help you leave porn behind and retake control of your life. Start the journey here: drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/

Quitting porn gave me motivation to talk to women in real life
I love to hear it!!
You are actually a person with a high mindset. I hope people understand the value of Humanbeings like you. You are doing really great by leading youths from the pit of p*rn to a bright and healthy life. May you have a long and healthy life.
Thank you for the kind words my friend ❤️🩹 They are much appreciated

In case you get urges and thinking of relapsing this is me reminding you it’s sucks you feel disappointed and disgusting your gained days are wasted regret and starting over sucks
The work you are doing is so important for us. These consistent posts are life savers. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy to help!
Dr. Terish, you're like a God to me (pardon again). As I'm a poor HCW, there is no way I can support your work other than by watching and liking all your videos. I follow you on LinkedIn and searched the web to see if there is a book written by you. You are saving the world, perhaps my life too. Today is my 20th day of streak. My maximum abstinence so far was for 30 days (3 times in my whole life). May God protect and bless you!
Thank you for the kind words my friend! I believe in you!
John 15:16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
1. Master the art of showing up!
2. Get up one more time then you fall down!
3. Create a life you don't need to escape from!
#3 is great I have to borrow it
Love this!
Unfortunately, we can't escape from reality - other than through porn. The problem isn't porn. It's women today. Porn is merely the by-product / reaction to third wave feminism. Dr. Trish is like a bartender at an AA meeting. "Who wants a drink y'all? That'll be $5, OOO for my services" etc.
@Bluzian74
False on multiple fronts.
There are definitely other ways to escape from reality. Not that that should be your goal. I'm a porn addict for 25 years, I learned to escape reality when I really need to with games, comics, syfi novels, good television-movies etc.
THAT was in the beginning.
Now I do it With physical activity.
Working out, Aikido, Yoga, Rock climbing.
So don't tell me you can escape reality without porn, That's just nonsense!
Of course now I don't even need to escape reality. I love my current reality.
@Bluzian74
Porn is no reaction to anything except for the free love movement in the 60s. You can't blame feminists for ALL of that. Women aren't responsible for our corporate structure greed.
They aren't responsible for how blind our society is to the inherent dangers of sex addiction. They also aren't responsible for how Ideologically captured our government is.
At best you can say third wave feminism contributes to a couple of these.
Excellent video. Thank you ❤
I recently had a relapse after two months. One of the ways I center myself is to listen again to your teachings 😊 Thank you so much for your concern and faithfulness.
I'm praying for you. I go through your channel and found that you are doing great and very difficult job to help people in quitting porn and other high stimulus screen Addictions. I downloaded your two playlists and listings you when i get time. Thank you so much Madam .
Thank you for the kind words my friend ❤️🩹
Thank you Dr. Trish 👍🏼🤍
❤️🩹❤️🩹
I quit in January, no looking back. Thanks for your videos. Feel like a new man.
I love to hear it! Keep rocking it out 💪
I feel like the main thing that keeps me going back is the stress and pain from the shame of past use. I want to quit so badly but I feel like I can't forgive myself for being an addict.
Yup.
Shame is the emotion that drives the addiction.
I had to abandon shame myself to break out of the cycle......
There is no room for shame in recovery! If you need extra support, I'm here with a community that may help ❤️🩹 drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/

@PornBrainRewireDrTrishLeigh Not gonna lie Doc. The hijacker almost had me a couple of times but I was able to defeat him.
Thanks a lot ❤

Quite possibly one of the most inciteful videos on how to manage my cravings I have ever watched. I've been listening to a load of your videos in my car on CZcams which are really helping me. Does meditation/box breathing help reduce high-bets frequencies (urges)?
Absolutely!

Thank you Dr.Trish, Please pray for me to not give into lustfull thoughts and triggers and that I live a life of some normality away from my malignant relatives. Your videos really do help me. Thanks again
You've got this!
Oh - I was actually thinking about another relapse with my so called 'deleted' instagram account, which is I supposed to get rid of long ago. trying to recover it back and couldn't get it back and I take a look at CZcams, then literally God sent me this video, clicked, watched it entirely, convinced, remember of my whole struggle to get clean and 16 years of addiction then I said NO, not again, not this time. Instead of this, I'll do my best to remember and write them down as mentioned activities that once was regulating me as an healthy person. This night I suppose I won't open any other porn tab on my browser. When this addiction so ingrained, it becomes so tenacious that it seems impossible to quit and living without. Thank you Dr. for all of your efforts and giving consciousness about this problem.
Not just men. Women here too. 👋🫶♥️♥️♥️♥️
We also need help💔
Solidarity. Hope you get the help you need and deserve. Good to know we're not alone. Peace to you.
Women can definitely become addicted too and a lot of the same rules apply!
Greetings from Venezuela, South America. 🇻🇪🖐️

Starting my journey now
Am 21 years old and am on this journey, have stayed 17 days now without porn or masturbating, my wish is to completely stop and unwire my brain so that I can fully concentrate on school, please advise me cause am facing strong urges coming back 😢😢
Let me tell you brother some thing dont be hard on your self so for example some people they are sober for 30 days on day 31 they relapse and then they think they lost every thing no you just slip once you shoud better to know why you slip and start from day 31 not day 1 then you gona realize that the relapse becoming very less so dont hard on your self if you relapse its just data learn and move on dont start all over again good luck
Consider joining one of my programs! I have a beginner one here - drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/
Your presentation seemed to be the most scientific and truthful regarding neuro pathways. This would also perhaps be more accurately described as neuroemotional pathways as well?
Why I fail after every 2 or 3 months? Why I can't control my thoughts why watch it again and again and again and again and again. It's happening for the last 14 Years

I've set up an accountability system with my parents, even an automated text message whenever I open certain apps on my phone. I'm an adult, so this is a voluntary thing that I came up with, but it's been very helpful to regain conscious control of my impulses.
I love that! You're doing exactly what you need to do❤️🩹
Looking to quit weed cold turkey. it's the only way. I believe that by leaving daily weed behind i'll be more committed to my retention journey
I agree!
Toning down is a sham ma'am. I'm on SR and my life is beginning to feel different. I thought i was going to quit pot but i dindt. instead i 'toned' down to once a day, still i find myself using it more than once. im from africa n u've helped me a lot thankss
Hi Dr Trish,
I’m currently 1 week of clean abstinence of PMO and social media detox.
Having trouble with sleeping and awake for more than 24 hours some days before able to put my brain to sleep. My brain seems like idling and serene without thoughts but just refuse to switch to sleep mode.
On previous relapses, the sleeping disorder is a hit and miss. Some days my circadian rhythm is functioning correctly and able to sleep easily.
I tried my best to take the necessary actions to correct my circadian rhythm like exposing mu eyes and body to morning sun, no naps on evening, no coffee after 5PM and shut off table night lamp while sleeping.
But what I need to know, is insomnia is part of recovering process? Should I take it slow and let it pass?
After 1 week of abstinence together with previous attempts of relapsing (one time) without binge, my energy level is much much higher than before and can go through the day but the inconsistency is still there. Music starts to sound better and my dark circle eye my eyes clearing up day by day.
You are right on point. Stressed? Watch porn or eat. So hard to quit after sooooo many years.
It's difficult, but not impossible! You've got this💪 If you need any extra help, I'm here drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/
Just a caution to any guy who's had testosterone treatments/implants, your sex drive will be ridiculously high after a few weeks and, as a former porn addict, that doesn't help if you're not getting sex on a regular basis. I had to get the implants after removal of my left testicle due to cancer. It's been about a month since the implant and my drive is insane. The urges to relapse are crazy and I've already briefly viewed images, and I'm trying my best to NOT relapse back into the trap of going on porn sites and masturbating. Please wish me luck.
I work massive hours no time for any relationship
Thank you Jesus. I have NOT returned as this video suggests. Deliverance from this lifestyle is POSSIBLE. In the NAME OF JESUS. The name above every Name…..

What to do if you are mind says No, but T levels is so high !!!
Also, I am in a long distance relationship. So it gets much more challenging for me
Ok so I was in facebook and on my feed there were some immature post that had a women doing seg acts but the private parts were covered by a big emoji. I deleted Facebook instantly . Made me mad. Am I good in my recovery journey?
Absolutely! Unfortunately, it can be nearly impossible to avoid all sexual media. You've got this!💪
If someone uses porn when he feels sexually aroused then who are you to term it as mood regulation in an unhealthy way or boredom.... In that case actual sex would also be a mood regulation.
Am on day 18 now, i feel my mid brain paining so much, are these signs or am just not okay?
It's a sign that porn needs to go!
I was having porn addiction for 1 month then after one year I am facing problems of doin this

🎯
Mood regulation
I’ve succumbed to my desires on multiple occasions they’re seemingly uncontrollable particularly in the morning when I wake up what’s hindered my ability to maintain abstinence amidst this internal struggle are the doubts as to whether what I’m experiencing is normal, some studies suggest monogamy is a social construct and we have a biological imperative to reproduce with as many partners as possible , would this then mean that it’s not merely pr0n driving these desires and that theyrrr normal? , granted they’re very compulsive and unsatisfying the anticipation is more enjoyable then the result … idk what to do I don’t have any other addictions in life other then this. When I first saw pron I had an immediate urge to pmo even tho I was never exposed to it before why would that desire be there if it weren’t normal ?
If you need help, I'm here! drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/
I am 16 years old and I don't know English. Can you add Turkish subtitles to your videos?
Will do!
Dr, would you recommend magic murshrooms therapy for porn addiction?
I tried microdosing so you don't trip. And it helped me tremendously. But just beware of risks. As you open yourself to a whole new spectrum of being and potential mental health risks later on. The higher your perspective on things, the deeper you can fall
I would not recommend that!
It will recover?
Yes!
💚💚
Can I use this as a woman. They don't talk about it alot
Well i’m a guy but I would say hell yeah u can use it, Why not.❤
Absolutely!
I am sure the producers of and partakers in porn ie 'actors' are not thinking about mood regulation.....or am I wrong ?
It certainly depends!
Well we certainly know that advanced, emancipated women in America sure as hell aren't !! Wouldn't it be nice if women were like they were in the 195Os and 6Os? Women today don't even know how to care for a man, or even express love properly. At least pornography provides a vast array of regulation. It's a hell of a lot more than what women are offering today. That's for DAMN sure.
I relapsed two times simultaneously in two days 😭 previously my strike was of 15 days 😭 i relapsed near porn

Dear madam,if masterbation was bad, then why many doctors including sexologists argues it is to be healthy even if committing several times a day. Please help me doctor I'm confused.🥺
They r so called social media influencer more than being doctor...But Trish Leigh is a Neuro Scientists.. Nobody knws ABT brain more than them.....

would you mind informing me more about these?

What if when someone is so into corn that they feel like watching it even whn there is no urge, no craving ,no arousal but still watch it nd eventually after many vulgar clip the brain starts to get erection....
Talk
I understand the implication of giving up porn (It's been around forever, I didn't know a friends dad that didn't have a stash of magazines back in the early 70's. In fact porn at least use to make more money than all other entertainment combined this was 50 yrs ago. ) but are you giving up on masturbation? - all boys did it with porn or not ( sears catalog and the lingerie section)
Masturbation can be a slippery slope! While it can be beneficial for those without a sexual compulsive habit, those who have ever watched porn should steer clear
When I watch porn i clear my bowels, but i am struggling to pass bowel movements normally without porn? Is it treatable ? Please help
Your body and mind will take some time to get back to normal!
Olá a todo,
penso que não nos devemos ser extremos na nossa culpabilização. Afinal, acabamos por sermos também vítimas de um engano que de modo incorreto nos faz sentir bem.
No meu caso, sou casado a 24 anos com uma esposa muito preocupada comigo e com nosso filho e que nao nos deixa faltar nada. Então porquê recaio de tempos a tempos na pornografia?
Penso nisto muitas vezes e sinto que talvez seja pela falta de intimidade que aminha esposa não nos permite ter devido às suas crenças arraigadas.
O tipo de pornografia que me prende é do tipo casal real que dão um ao outro tempo e satisfação em satisfazer o seu parceiro por meio de estimulos e massagens. Não aquela pornografia em que a mulher parece insaciável e fora de controle. Gostava de ser entendido. Ja sofri muito emocionalmente quando pedi ajuda e fui completamente "espancado".
A minha esposa tem crenças religiosas fortes, certa vergonha de explorar e ser explorada fisicamente, descobrir novas formas de nos presentear com os prazeres que Deus nos deu.
Desculpem tanta escrita mas acredito que não seja o único a passar por isto. Acabo por me sentir bem ao ver casais serem felizes um com o outro na sua intimidade fisica tal como eu gostava de usufruir com a minha esposa.
Um grande abraço para a Dr. Trish e para todos vocês
Is it okay to have sex in the middle of a porn recovery phase?
It depends on the person! Listen to what your body and brain is telling you
Can porn damage be permanent?
I hope not am trying to recover from this
The damage can be healed but it takes time and consistent maintenance. You need to create a life that protects you from your desire to return to the screen. It's hard work, I am still trying, but trust me its doable.
No! You can heal from your side effects! If you need any help, I'm here ❤️🩹 drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/
I don’t understand why you kept mentioning only men. I am a woman addicted to porn. Do some research on that then make a video, thanks.
Women can absolutely be addicted! But my target audience is men
I'm glad l don't need this. What you are talking about has me day dreaming. It's a flashback from high school class subjects that l wasn't too fond of. Sorry
Something strange is happening....I've avoided watching for 3 weeks now and suddenly I've realised that I've developed what is called 'delusional parasitosis'. It involves a state of itchiness and feeling as though bugs and insects are crawling all over me but in reality there's nothing on my skin. I've now heard that delusional parasitosis can be linked to chemical imbalances and excess dopamine. Can anyone relate to what's going on?
I am not guilty at anything except of being a man
You should not feel guilty about that! If you're looking for help building your confidence back up, I'm here drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/
Absolutely beautiful! I'm speechless! 🌺 👄👄👄🍌🍌🍌
You😂
Well, Wah I have my own likes dislikes, choices, opinions, etc. Is this where I'm "supposed" to do this, or supposed to do that. Or is this where I'm to believe something ridiculous? Such as being monetarily rich, or valuable to society.
That, in itself, to me sounds ridiculous, or, so far beyond the only normal I know.
That's okay! Keep learning and develop your own opinion of porn!
Having to rewatch this after doing so well for about 2 months 🫤 it's a shame but omg. The tease I got triggered something in me and I couldn't stop thinking about my fav corn 😆
Anyway, went back to it and afterwards I'm like... cmon, that was fun but you know this isn't a healthy thing
