Here you are again…
You promised yourself that you wouldn’t do it anymore. Yet, here you are staring at the same images, feeling like a failure, and trying to hide it from everyone.
You run to these images for relief from your stress and shame, but it only brings more. And now you need a bigger “high” to help you feel better.
It is difficult to connect in your relationships, and your partner says you are distant and angry.
You think, “If there was only some way to make the spiraling stop.” The spiraling you feel is the cycle of addiction.
Maybe the problem isn’t the problem.
Acting out sexually outside of your committed relationship or watching porn excessively at the expense of all your daily responsibilities has undoubtedly created problems. However, the answer isn’t just stopping the problem behavior. You’ve tried that hundreds of times before.
The answer lies in the reason you turn to this behavior to cope with life’s difficulties.
Most of the time, the feeling that drives the addiction cycle is a feeling of shame. That feeling causes you to think that you are unworthy, a failure, stupid – you know, the inner critic in your head that beats you down.
It’s that voice caused by traumatic times in your life, and that voice gets louder and louder every time you are hurt.
Let’s try a different way.
The difficulties you faced in your life have given rise to shame, anger, guilt, and other intense feelings that make you want to hide.
We offer a judgment-free place to experience these emotions and experience relief from the shame.
Let’s quiet that inner critic, allow yourself the peace you deserve, and put an end to the constant struggle.
Quit chasing after your next big “high,” and let’s discover what is missing in your life that causes you to fill it with pornographic images and chase after meaningless sex with other people.
There is hope for you. You can find freedom from this bondage and live a genuine and authentic life filled with peace and joy.
Live the life you never knew existed.
