Joshua Shea: Tackling Porn Addiction and Mental Health Head-On

If we can begin to talk more about porn addiction and mental health, others may be able to address their addictions before they devolve to the unhealthy levels that I reached.
Ever thought about how the internet has changed the landscape of addiction? Joshua Shea, an author and speaker, dives into his personal battle with porn addiction and his mission to shed light on this often-taboo topic. Clean since March 2014, Shea believes that open conversations about porn addiction and mental health can help others confront their issues before they spiral out of control.
He’s not just talking the talk; he’s written three books, designed an online course, and offers coaching for both addicts and their partners. In this episode of 'Recovery Survey', Shea discusses the importance of recognizing addiction symptoms early, especially in our high-speed internet age where access to pornography is easier than ever. He also stresses the need for parents to educate their children about sexuality from a young age. But Shea doesn’t stop at just addressing the addiction itself.
He emphasizes tackling the underlying mental health issues that often accompany addiction. By focusing on these root causes, he believes recovery can be more effective and lasting. Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or just curious about the topic, Shea’s insights offer valuable perspectives and practical advice. Tune in to learn how to navigate these challenging waters and find hope in recovery.
