How Porn Addiction Gets Started (Dr. Trish Leigh w/ Zack Carter)

[@jeronomojoe]

I was introduced at 7 years old in second grade. Just became compulsive from there. I didn't realize I had a problem until I was 18 or so. I'm 22 now and felt trapped in a loop for almost 4 years. Among the anxiety which sucks bigtime I've had Very little energy, very low testosterone, a massive debilitating amount of brain fog and recentely I've developed POIS which is a nightmare and a half. However recently I realized my childhood trauma and my lack of self worth play a huge role in going to porn for an escape from that feeling of unworthiness. I've made it 119 days of PMO before and today makes day 4 right now. Here's to all you struggling with this evil shit. We are going to beat this and regain our power and our lives! I will not go quitely into that good night and neither should any of YOU! As Jordan Peterson says "Be a Monster"

Hello Dr Trish, I have been watching your videos for about a year. I can say now that I have come out of this addiction just by following your videos. I'm glad that I accidentally came across your channel. I'm glad that your channel exists 😁. I'm from India and have studied in Hindi Medium schools. I'm really glad that I showed some extra interest in learning English by myself and it's paying off now. Thank you Dr Trish. Keep posting these helpful videos, no matter how long they are, people in need will watch & learn from you. Thank you for being you, a really nice helpful human being.

I just keep moving forward!!!

[@mikemailei4491]

Im on day 58 of being clean. Enjoying my sobriety! coming for 60 and then 90 is my next goal.

[@rasinshuriken]

Very informative video, the only problem i think is that young people only look for help when it's a bit too late instead it should be avoided all together. I think addictionporn related stuff should be taught and implemented in high school level?

[@jerseyboyantbrooks2824]

Yes I wish it really was would’ve saved me.

[@TheBigDynamo]

Everything sexual education should be mandatory in high schools and that should absolutely include pornography. Unfortunately I never got any of that and even at the age of 20 I'm still stuck with what healthy sex really is at times

[@josephpriester3508]

Dr.trish keep up the good work

[@Garbs9430]

Great conversation!

[@futurephysician2651]

Im a last year mbbs student. Tnx so much for all of your effort. Although im not addicted in porn.

[@Newgrist]

I just subscribed to your channel. I'm really looking forward to reading your book. My story is very similar to that of Zack Carter, but I was not as fortunate as he was ever to find a woman to love. I realize that you have to expunge it from your life for yourself, but I also think that the love of a woman is good motivation.

I started at 8 and was a chronic addict till about 28 I’m 34 now,

[@grdianANGL333]

how have your last 6yrs been?

[@aaronrich9483]

[@harryturner1835]

Fighting the small steps back to porn is hard. Avoiding sexy advertising, sexy intros to various KZbin sites, art sites are all small triggers. I have not back slid into seeing actual nudity or sexual acts on line but can feel the pull. I am finding it hard to find a therapist in southeastern Oklahoma. You have helped a lot but I have a long way to go.

[@bruced4846]

Loved this! AAA engine is perfect way to describe. Drugs and alcohol are way more visible earlier.

[@Felipeschwalenberg]

Only 3 days to complete 1 month without porn, thank you Dr Trish

[@ramalellison9205]

No bs but how you feel?

[@Felipeschwalenberg]

@@ramalellison9205 I feel like life has become more real, the simple stuff has more value, it's like when you drink water you feel rewarded, a good reason to quit porn is to get back our sense perception, try avoiding any type of lust, keep your eyes from checking people out, you'll see that is not like you cannot watch porn or check people out, you should stop because the truth is: it's bad for you, it feels good but in long terms it destroys your life. Your eyes will never get enough of this, so make a deal with yourself for the good and choose to keep your life away from this, it's hard but thrust this words, is the best way.

[@ramalellison9205]

@@Felipeschwalenberg thank you. But i struggle with knowing if its bad for me. Also i see other dudes herk everyday and they successful and meet women. Iunno

[@Felipeschwalenberg]

@@ramalellison9205 focus on your life purpose man, you will meet someone good of you along the way, love God above all. Love yourself and just keep moving that at some moment you will be convinced to stop, I happend to but me bus unfortunately took 13 years

[@josephpriester3508]

Dr.trish happy st.patrick day

[@maurecara6908]

Great broadcast but would have been good to hear more strategies for staying away from it,

[@DrTrishLeigh]

We will be talking about that in the future. This episode was on how it gets started.… Stay tuned.

[@GavinBrown-v3u]

Why does he associate it with "shame" ? I don't - most men do what they do because they haven't got women. If it causes ED what does it matter if women don't want them ? Christ, if he can get a woman there must be hope for me !!!

[@michaelh7527]

I am with you that porn can be very destructive and addictive. I just don't know if there is anything that can be done about it at this point because of how easy it is to access.

[@unvaccinatedmensclub]

Nofap, live it.

[@stephenfiore9960]

My first run-in with porn was when I was collecting returnable bottles and recycling aluminum cans on the side of the road in the 1970’s and there was a penthouse/playboy magazine someone threw on the side of the road. Way before the days of internet porn. Was addicted to porn until about 27 years old after my marriage break-up and I became a Christian. Sadly I never got back with my 1st wife , but we are friends 30 years later. She hated porn. Very rarely did I look at porn after becoming a Christian

[@jamesbowman3034]

when is it a good time to quit pmo? serious question because i feel i be choosing what day is a perfect day to start rebooting.

[@abishekratheesh8731]

Hey doc a quick question so i have completed my 90 days but don't feel like I'm completely healed yet...i am 19 and I have been a chronic porn consumer will it take longer for some?

[@jeronomojoe]

It can take up to 2 years depending on how old you were when you started, how severe the content your viewing was, and how often you consumed the content. Everyone should notice major improvements within the first 6 months though. Stay Strong!

[@stephenfiore9960]

For me, it will always be in the back of your mind, but it does get better over time. Becoming a Christian help me give it up

I have a big question to you, i have been edging without porn or ejaculation is that good or bad? I dont know, because im reading that edging is bad and you even say it in a video, but im doing it without porn and ejaculation.

[@Fanofsabaton]

I at three years, three months, and eighteen days of not ejaculating.

And you are probably staring at every girl that walks by. Too much of anything is not good and that includes deal with female B.S. just because you are horny.
