I think what treatment is about is bringing small groups of people together to learn how to grow intimate relationships, but not sexual relationships.
Porn addiction is a hidden struggle for many, especially in today's digital world. In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', host Neil Scott sits down with Dr. Robert Weiss, a leading expert on sexual addiction, to unpack the complexities of porn addiction and its impact on daily life and relationships. Dr. Weiss explains how emotional dependency on porn can disrupt intimacy and functioning, making recovery a challenging but essential journey. Dr.
Weiss introduces the concept of PRO-dependency as a healthier alternative to codependency, emphasizing the need for supportive relationships that foster personal growth rather than dependency. He also highlights the importance of small group settings where individuals can learn to build intimate, non-sexual connections. One surprising revelation is that porn addiction isn't confined to any one demographic; it affects people across all walks of life, including women. Dr.
Weiss shares that many seek help only after their relationships have reached a breaking point, often driven by a partner's ultimatum. The episode also touches on the broader spectrum of dependencies, from substances like alcohol and drugs to less obvious ones like people or activities. Dr. Weiss stresses the importance of building personal security and confidence, steering away from seeking validation through external sources. For those struggling with sexual addiction, Dr.
Weiss offers resources such as Porn Addicts Anonymous and online courses designed to aid in recovery. This episode is a beacon of hope and practical advice for anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to 'Recovery Coast to Coast' for an enlightening conversation that could be the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
