About this Porn Reboot Channel: Hi. I am Dr. Trish Leigh, a Cognitive Neuroscientist. I am on a mission to help people heal their brains from porn use. My videos are designed to help you learn that:
Porn Damages Your Brain, Mental and Physical Health, and Destroys Your Relationships.
1. Brain Shrinkage and Underactivity: It shrinks the size of your brain and decreases brain activity, among other damaging effects. It is true! I wish it wasn’t, but it is true.
2. Porn is bad for your mental health. It creates more anxiety, depression, moodiness, irritability, anger, and more.
3. Porn is proven to ruin your relationships. 2x as likely to break up and get divorced.
I would love for you to watch these videos to:
• Understand how porn is negatively impacting your brain, health, and life.
• How to stop watching porn, which can be difficult due to its addictive nature.
• How to heal your brain from porn use.
Every video has a strategy for you to use in your Porn Brain Reboot journey. So… watch the videos until the END and start using the techniques to help you succeed. You can do it with the right tools and support. That is why I am here. Go for it!

Social media is the new porn. Young men today are struggling with Instagram, Only fans, Tik Tok, etc. Those are the new triggers.
That's why I quit social media and porn together 💯
Tell me about it n im not even young
You are awesome. Please Don’t quit
i find it infinitely easier to quit social media than to quit porn.
Tik-tok girls are off the hook
Just relapsed for the first time in 4 weeks my longest streak ever. This really helps me and i feel more confident going forward now that i have a clear enemy and im not fighting myself. God bless you Doctor 🙏
Learn from the relapse and keep going my friend. You got this. 💪🏽
@@DrTrishLeigh how do u get control over your mind
Hey bro give me some tips how you did it.
@@jerryseinfeld5713 Same thing happened to me man and don’t beat yourself up. You’re on the right path, you’re trying to change, hope you’re doing well this is a little late
If you're about to relapse just remind yourself your purpose on this journey.
My God, my God have Mercy on me and deliver me from the highjacker.
Amen Amen
@Rachel James
I SERIOUSLY didn't know girls go through this as well. How interesting
🤣
Haha
Start reading Bible daily. Ur life will change.. Lord God Jesus Christ bless you.
Dr Trish, I had the most intense urges today. Currently on a 42 day streak, and I sat down with my hi-jacker today and told him that Im tired of his lies and I dont want to give him the control anymore. And wow I feel much better
They're called Intrusive Thoughts.
I hold my breath for a minute, timer on, every time The “hi jacker” talks
Good Idea
Day 11 for me. After an all day struggle was about to get hijacked then came here and now driving my body myself again. 🙏🏻 Thank you!
Excellent! You can do it. Stay strong. Remember to change routines, habits, and come up with a pivot plan. Keep going, rock it out!
Just discovered this channel, and I’m looking forward to diving deeper into it. I’ve been regularly using porn for almost 10 years now (which seems crazy to me), but I’ve only recently began to think of it as a true addiction. It was always just “something I did that I didn’t want to do,” but the word “addiction” felt too harsh. However, calling it what it is has helped me discover new ways of tackling my problem, and for the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful in my journey towards recovery. Thank you, Dr. Trish Leigh, for being an advocate for those of us who feel too beaten down to speak up about this real problem. I hope that someday, when this kind of thing feels like an old nightmare, I can be brave enough to help others suffering with this same thing. That’d be the dream.
Im imaging the hjiacker as Sauron from Lord Of The Rings trying to convince me to put on the ring / watch porn. Its pure evil. The light will always prevail on the end.
My precious!!!!!!!!
Thanks @Remi thats an awesome analogy
Amen
My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our purpose and break all morality, but it is not this day. An hour of vaseline and tissues when the power of heart comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear good on this earth, I bid you resist the urge, Men of the West!
@@avocedo975 perfect!
Another way is not to get intoxicated. Alcohol or any other drugs..when you are high in any way.., it's hard to walk away from the temptation...the hijacker sounds like (Satan).
Dr. Trish, thank you for helping us. This is one of the biggest problems in society that few are talking about.
Your vids are powerful.
I know. I had to find the strength to start talking about it, but I know how important it is so here I am. Thanks for your support. I appreciate it. I am really glad to be able to help.
Thank you very much doctor. This one video changed my life. Now I am completely free from PMO since 1 year. The Hijacker Gestalt concept is a very strong concept that made me not return to PMO for 1 year. No other concepts like hot bath, roaming around did not work. You are my life changer madam. Changing lifes is a very great thing that you are doing. Thank you very much madam
55 hijackers retained control!
Thank you, Doctor Leigh! You are on the Lord's errand and we are SO grateful!
🙌🙌🙌 this is the Boss lady of a revolution! The harvest is great and the workers are few but this channel is a empowering people! Much admiration 🎯
Thank you so very much for this post, I will be watching more of your videos from now on and I also want to let you know that its thanks to you that streak is still at 25 days!
Hooray for Dr. Trish Leigh. Looking out for us. Much love too you!!!
Thank you Dr. Leigh for sharing this video. This is such a difficult trap to escape, your efforts are truely heroic.
Thank you. I am trying. ❤️🩹
Thank you so much for your video. God bless you.
Thank you. It is my pleasure.
This is pure gold, thank you for sharing this technique, Doc. It should work but if it doesn't, that really tells that the person is not in control but the hijacker is. Reality vs fantasy. Short term fake overwhelming pleasure vs long term happiness and achieving valuable goals in real life.
Thanks! I am trying to help out as much as I can. You said it best, unnatural fake pleasure for a little while vs. a lifetime of joy if you can walk away. The choice is simple, the process... not so easy. Keep going and you WILL be successful.
@@DrTrishLeigh I am trying to quit from stop watching ballbusting and cuntbusting porn and I was starting to day. But I think I can do it.
Thank you Dr. Leigh, you dont know how long ive struggled with this addiction and how much it has effected my life and relationships. Im so thankful i have found your channel. I watch your videos everyday. The struggle is becoming a bit easier each week. Thank you.
You’re welcome. I’m glad to be able to help you. Keep rocking it out!
5:48 This is entirely true. And to those of you guys who say "but well masturbating to porn just once won't destroy my project, or my relationship or this or that", the problem is that when you do something just once you do it quite intensely in a way that will lead you to do it again, and believe it or not these addictive cycles and patterns you pave in your brain soon start destroying 1. Your mental performance 2. Your sexual performance 3. Your psichosocial performance (that is how your brain sees and reacts to other people, especially the sex you're attracted to) 4. Your phisical performance (this is real, when the body and the brain are tied to an addiction gaining phisical results becomes harder, you need total focus). FOCUS YOURSELF. (I'm actually telling this to myself)
phisical?
Physical
Tried it
It works
Will consider it everytime
Thanks for bringing value in this world
Thank you so much for this video ❤️ I came here because I need help resisting watching wayyyyy too much unhealthy crap and listening to bad music ❤️
Seeing in the comments that one is not alone with that fight is in itself a great help. And videos of that type are also a great help. Thanks a lot.
You give wonderful advice and counsel. It's AMAZING how much it parallels other old, well-respected writings on the subject. Keep up the great work!❤
Dear trish you are right in identifying the ills found in people including myself. There are a number of temptations around that provide us with much to control us. But your video is highly beneficial trish thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
Thank you Doctor for the valuable words and techniques.
Thank You for making these videos. Excellent Insights and Truly Practical Real-world Advice on How to Overcome Addiction. Very Much Appreciated!
Hi Dr Trish, appreciate this so much. These videos have been so helpful to me. I've been using these videos to keep my reason for fighting clear, which I find difficult at times.
Dr.T, I've watched 9 of your lessons today and have taken actions to claim my brain and my life back. Blessings to you for taking the precious time to share this knowledge with us.
I love this technique!! I'm almost excited to try it out, haha. Thank you Dr. Trish :D
Great. I will take “almost” for now. I can’t wait until you’re actually excited to try these techniques. They will help you. Go for it!
I've worked with Gestalt before but not like this. I love the simplicity of the application. This is great content. Thank you!
You are so inspirational to me...all what u say is on point...since I started listening to you I now go longer streak than ever.. I know I will end this behaviour soon..you messages are natural
So glad to hear. You've got this!
You're the best doctor in the world! Thank you ma'am 💐 you're very kind, God bless
Thank you. I realize appreciate it. It means alot to me.
I am fortunate enough that i do meditation for 10 minutes daily (from 20 days) and in my NoFap journey, right now my Flatline phase is going on at extreme peak and today it was uncontrolled. Today after this video i am able to control my mind and pull out the hijacker from the driver seat. Btw 30+ days completed of NoFap 😊😊
Awesome! Congratulations. Keep going!
Damn it’s kinda tough
Great video. superb... knowledge is power.
God bless you and your ministry Trish! 😊
Fighting a desire is only going to strengthen it, for what you resist will persist as the "fight" gives more attention and energy to the thing you're fighting. This is why various forms of "addiction" treatment have extremely high relapse rates. The "urge" for pornography is really a misdirected desire to find happiness and thus freedom from something you're not comfortable with in life. Wisdom and intelligent analysis of the false belief/fears driving the urges is the key, fighting your own thoughts is futile mental masturbation.
I'm not an expert but this comment of yours makes more sense to me than thinking of a hijacker of my own mind. I quit porn just like I quit eating sugar or drinking too much alcohol, it's discipline.
The hijacker is trying. I said "if Try again pal, "I'll give u a 🥶 cold shower " that hijacker don't like them cold showers.
"I'm not having it, I need my brain"
I have used this before, in a little different way though.
♥️ Thanks for the amazing support DTL
You’re welcome. That is too funny.
So true… Your brain is your most precious resource. Protect it!
Wahla😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m ready to begin my recovery since I realised this is not what I want to be addicted to. Courage and support is key. Your videos are on point. Keep up the great work. ✌🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for the videos! Very helpful!
Thank you.. i needed this
So essentially you're personifying the very thing you want to get rid of in life, making the problem seem tangible and real. I'll have to give this a try.
Yes. It works for so many people. Give it a whirl.
Subbed! Love your content :)
Thank you very much dr. Let me try very much before the end of this month
I think a huge benefit can also come from practicing awareness through meditation or meditative coupled tasks such as yoga (breathe awareness) and musical Practice (sonic awareness).
Yoga and Mindfulness practice is an extremely useful practice to build up the initial control over your internal dialogue and “hijacker” thoughts to properly use the technique stated in the video.
Starting both together is even more beneficial!
It may be hard and seem obscure in the beginning but everything worth it is initially challenging. I have practiced these techniques and the technique stated in the video.
After committed practice I went from basically total lack of control and awareness of my internal thought and hijacker to mush more stabilized mental awareness and control over what/how I think and perceive the world.
These strategies work, breathe, approach them slowly with intention and the benefits will begin to show much sooner than you may think. And remember that the path to live your destiny comes with initial internal suffering.
Remember if it doesn’t feel mentally challenging, the brain isn’t learning or changing at all. Slow progress with intention ❤️😌
This is so effective, it helped me just now to fight off an urge. Am downloading this for future reference. I did not just made the hijacker, which is none other than my lusty braim, sit on a chair but also his hands were tied so that he cannot escape before listening to me fully. A huge change in perspective and much needed in case of urges.
I appreciate your video and will always remember your voice because it's difficult to stop after investing so much time in it.
Thanking you very much. Congratulations. You are doing a very good job. Have an awesome weekend
2 months now still going strong
Such an amazing technique you shared with us, thank you. There were times that I have dealt with my urges just by talking to that voice, intuitively, and somehow it worked! After those moments I got more confident about dealing with it, but also a little bit confused of what I just did hahaha
youre amazing. how is it possible you know so much about a topic that pertains men? you feel like a blessing with these words
Another AWESOME video Dr. Trish! The only thing I would add to this is that the "Highjacker" is a combination of our loneliness, our other hurts, our sinful desires, and (I mean this literally) the Devil (Satan) himself. It's not an audible voice, but I mean that literally.
Thank you so much for sharing these techniques, what a blessing you are to my life!
Thank you so much for this.
You’re welcome. I’m glad to be able to help!
Thank you very much for this Dr. Trish
Thank you Dr. Leigh. You’re doing a great service to so many men whom p*** has enslaved, in most cases, as early as puberty. Keep up the good work. A
So happy I found your sight. I’m just realizing that porn is a problem for me. Your videos are extremely helpful. I love the idea of giving the hijacker a face and talking directly to him. Thank you!
I will starting using this technique from today. Thank you.
Thank you, great videos and I've been watching the last few days. I had been riding on an upward swing and thought I was good, and then I flopped like a fish and the hijacker took over. You've helped me to see how this works, and you are the best example of self actualization and authenticity. That is how I feel when I'm on a streak, but then those damn urges. It's time to put the hijacker in it's place, I'm more important - thanks again. I've also learned that even if I fail I won't give up like I usually do but just gather more information and strength and keep going...
Thank you for sharing! Knowing more information about this addiction can help you beat it!
Highly appreciated man🎉
The hijacker is Satan. The active ingredient is your flesh. I love what you're teaching and am delighted I found it.
I was actually thinking this too. Satan wants to ruin our lives. We must take control of our minds and our lives.
Yet again some religious nutcase intruding into the comments with irrelevant bullshit.
Yet again some religious nutcase intruding into the comments with irrelevant bullshit.
@@NoTaboos Irrelevant? With that comment, I assume you're ashiest. Fine! Explain how an explosion created a uterus, ovary, cervix, fallopian tube, eggs, clitoris and vagina from nothing? If you're an evolutionist, explain how a uterus can be both human and ape? Additionally, where are the transitional species? I'll turn on my jeopardy jingle
Indeed the hijacker is the author of lies, Satan, he can be defeated by quoting the word of God, which is exactly what Jesus did when tempted 3 times, He is the example for all of us
Hah! If I had a steady girlfriend I probably wouldn't think about porn. I've been single all of my adult life. I've been rejected by every woman I had a romantic interest in. If it wasn't for porn I wouldn't know sex was even a part of life. I really don't think much of porn anyway, I only use it when I feel some pent up energy and use it to just "self serve", after that I just forget about it until the next time, and at my age, "next times" don't happen that frequently anymore. I wish I could approach women but Single/divorced ladies today are angry, gay, or otherwise unavailable and it's too high a risk for me to either get arrested or sued for harassment. Basically I feel like I've been punished for the misconduct of other men.
This is excelllent stuff. I have never thot of this idea before. Thank Dr
Wow! Subscribed! Liked! Definitely doing it.
Welcome. Stay tuned for lots of grat information and let me know if you have any questions that you would like answered so I can try to help you as much as possible.
I think this is brilliant advice.
Who's fighting it?
I am🔥
I am too truck driver out 10 to 12 days away from my wife . I'm 31 but I don't have performance issues or arousal issues I just have a high sex drive lots of testosterone
Pretty deep question
Love your videos!
Good contente. I'm 41 and fighting to win this battle. Thank you very much. Chanel subscribed.
This technique is already helping. I’m extremely persistent and strong willed. So if I want to stop I’ll eventually become successful at anything I put my mind too. This can be true for all of you as well. Keep fighting. Keep pushing forward!
I named my hijacker "evil Morty"
........
We have little chats from time to time
😂 a fellow rick and morty fan
Morty get in the chair morty, no more adventures morty I have to look you now morty.
Booger?
Excellent video. Thank you.
Awesome video, thanks!
Thank you.
I'm going through major withdrawals now. The dopamine deluge of pmo has now become a dopamine deficit of abstention. I'm going through big time anxiety and depression...low self-esteem, guilt and feeling the world hates me...called projection. Who else is feeling this similar pain?
I have definitely felt that. I'd recommend reading the easy peasy method because it might help clear up some of the rationalizations that the addicted brain uses to get us to slip up.
This hijacker seems to be the evil one. With the assistance of Christ and my wonderful Mother Mary I'm going to accomplish this.
Only Jesus my friend
We Muslims support your fight against the degeneracy and pornography on western civilisations. Allah is the greatest! Hope you all to win that battle against evil!
@Rob VQ Because mother Mary is dead and gone. But Jesus has workers in His kingdom like Dr Trish who are doing wonderful works to help people. Jesus sends His Spirit and His Word to help people but not mother Mary.
@Rob VQ I would say she is living in heaven but her work is done on earth and she has nothing to do with our Christian walk.
Who is Mary?
OMG❤ the idea to going for our lost hobbies was actually a good one! I'd forgotten I used to be painting professionally and now I just want to start all over again 👍
This seems like a fantastic theory ma'am... I am definitely giving it a shot whenever I get the urge next Time...
Please make a video on nofap stages and it’s long term effects on the brain. 🙏
Stop thinking of porn as your enemy. Think of porn as a boring loser. Engage with porn when you want sometimes, stop trying to fight it all the time. Realize it's not that great and kind of lame. Start enjoying other things like spirituality and acts of kindness and exercise. Know in the back of your mind that porn is there if you really need it, but you also kind of don't need it because it's a boring loser.
Thank you so much for this advice
So glad I came across your channel
Thank you for the video.
The hijacker will get KO'd if it ever tries to get in my drivers seat again!
Get control of my brain through strong daily disciplines.
When the hijacker starts talking nonsense, he'll be told to shut up.
The PMO hijacker wants to destroy anything of value to us.
Love and Peace from the UK!
I would like to give a different perspective , firstly don't fight the urge or even think about it.
Treat that urge as a phase and try busying yourself up when you get in that cycle and please for god’ sake stay away from any potential source of porn like mobiles, PC or any other multimedia device. There's an old saying " what you try to resist , persists" . So don't start a fight in your head about what's wrong or right ,just let it come and watch it go ,because no thought is permanent.
My philosophy is quite similar. That’s why I try to have people establish new routines, habits, and thought processes and anchor into future goals. This way you are moving towards some thing instead of away from it. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you, just got what I needed.
absolutely amazing. Respect.
🙏🏻🙅♀️
This is so good, makes me see the urge in a whole different way
This is actually way more useful than I expected, time to talk back
You know it! Go for it! As crazy as some of the techniques seem, they work, they are based on neuroscience.
@@DrTrishLeigh This Gestalt thing is quite interesting and clever, and also it's working
Thank god for people like you who are addressing this problem. It's the biggest issue for men today
Thank so much this will help me so much
Hello Dr.Trish Leigh, I really appreciate these videos of yours, they motivate me to not give up even though I feel sometimes fighting this urge feels impossible to overcome at times. Either way I wanted to ask you about your statement about the brain shrinking, if this is so will the brain stay like this even if the person already recuperated from an addiction or is there a chance for it to grow after? This is a concern of mine and something that I've noticed you mention in your other videos, a nice explanation of this would be helpful and thank you so much for your videos. You're changing peoples lives!!!
Your brain can absolutely heal. Thanks for your support. I’m really trying to help.
Very good application of “Get Out of Your Mind and into Your Life”. So much has been said but this piece of advice is easy to take in and start to put into proactive each and every moment of everyday. Years ago, I didn’t ha r a problem, but the internet, smartphone and a divorce started to disrupt my life. Thank you very much for making this available for everyone who has felt demeaned by porn in any of its forms. Another book I read years ago is “Softporn Plays Hardball”.
Thanks. I’m glad to help. I’ll have to check the book out.
I have gone on your website and asked for guidance on which program to sign up for. Have had a couple of complicating issues that may require an intense program in order to have/become more whole and free. Thank you!
Really happy to see women supporting the anti-porn movement
You r God sent Dr. Trish...God bless you🙏
Devil comes and tells you he make it look beautiful and cool in your mind, but after you relapse you see it was just a fake feeling.
Nice video. To the point. Helped me as since a few days i have been little less happy and bit unsettled. Though i had the awareness since i have been doing nofap about 250+ days. I was talking to myself that by taking things lightly and watching somethings here and there i have lost the absolute control i had gained so let me just waitout with a few days of proper conducd and it has to get back to normal mode. So this video helped. Where i am i think it is a good idea that i stay cool and just breathe easy and wait it out. It feels like a sandcloak one side is gaining power and the other is losing power. Good or bad depends on what we standing for at any time..
I love you trishalicious i love the way you explain things
Thank you so much for helpful advice
I got new techniques from you
I wish to place on record my heartfelt gratitude for this lady. I am 50 now and I first had nightfall when I was 19 and since then it was all down the way, and I just couldn't get rid of porn and masturbation since then. Your videos are the only ones which have generated confidance in me.
Now a days I sort of think along these lines when the urge becomes excessive:-
I close my eyes and visualise all the different scenarios and pornstars and allow the events to playout in my mind. Then I ask myself where do you feel the pleasure. Then I answer to myself in the mind. So then I say to myself if the pleasure is in the mind why not focus on the pleasure in the mind why watch porn. Then I visualise what if the body was dead, would you have sex with a dead body. Both these thoughts just put my mind off. And I regain control.
Once again deep gratitude for Dr Leigh with all my heart
Hello everyone and Hello Dr. Trish
Today I can proudly say I had my first victory over the hijacker and let me tell you to inspire you, the same way that Dr. Trish Leigh inspire us.
Im on this Journey for 2 weeks since writing this comment and finding these golden Videos.
After Mass today (Sunday, July 18th), I took a nap and to bed.
As I was starting to wake up from my nap, the Urge hit me, mind you I didn't watch porn for 2 weeks and didn't masturbate, I suffer from Withdraw Symptoms.
But then, I followed Dr. Trish's advice, and I said to the hijacker, "The wheel is mine and I won't let you take it, never again".
I felt bad, I felt a headache, there was a war going on inside of my head, but the spirit of Christ and Dr. Trish advice prevailed.
The force of Darkness and Porn had lost to the power of Light, of purity and holiness.
Keep up the good fight my dear friends, you are not alone on this Journey!
We will win!
Congratulations! I’m so glad to be able to inspire and empower you. Keep going! You got this. 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing your story with us too.
@@DrTrishLeigh Thank you Dr. for giving me this holy ground that I can share my stories with you.
Loved your video that you have uploaded today! #Motivation_Monday.
God Bless Doctor Trish.
Just tried talking to my hijacker. I was pleasantly surprised by how angry I got at him. Excellent fuel for further progress and a fantastic tip, Dr Trish. Thanks so much!
