This is a great video and I'd like to show it to.a substance use group. Is there any way you could post a version that does not have the running text at the bottom? Many thanks.

I was struggling and watching just one of your videos free me. The understanding.

[@scottcarlson2294]

So this considered "leaning into them" emotions/feelings? This makes alot make sense for me, thank you

[@Gokul-k1k]

I couldn't believe it😯😯😯, you posted this video is my history and behavior. You clearly clarify the feelings💜 and thoughts🤔 in the people by explaining everyday situations. Lots of love Dr. Rob Weiss 😊😊😊

Very smart observation... Its truth, thats why its difficult to handle emotions on your own and sex addiction helps...

[@scottcarlson2294]

Any addiction helps

[@scottcarlson2294]

But that's why we both watched this video lol

This is my circel. I was there for many years until 3 months ago. I thinking now and then aboth the ' old life', hard to brake. I m in supportgroup to get help. Its hard but i must go.....

How about when they have a hidden sex addiction and watched porn 3-4 times a week sometimes more for years (and never finish- just watched/edged for 10-45 mins each time & any time they had the opportunity to be alone, lied, yet never felt guilty or bad they did this) and yet they're still able to hide this from their partner and be intimate 3x a week at the same time when there were no problems going on .. Maybe I'm not understanding.. Because if there aren't any triggers; like negative family life, trauma, stress, negative emotions, unhappy relationship, etc why would they continue this behavior... Just addiction and self-serving Isuppose?

He's right. I've begun to notice in myself how my participation in addition is usually tied to strong emotions especially lonliness for me.

[@colenewaltersmusicandother9330]

This makes sense to me .at the end of the video when it stopped I thought that the person would not share that information because how you started in the video you said they never depended on anybody so they go back to the fantasy and the cycle starts all over again.

[@stigmautomata]

Does this not create codependents?

[@annie6994]

No. This creates human connection. He wrote a book about why the concept of codependency is actually outdated and even harmful: Prodependence: Moving Beyond Codependency. I highly, highly recommend it!
