The Sex, Porn & Love Addiction Podcast

What is a feeling state and how does this impact behaviours as they relate to sex, porn and love addiction?

And where Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) come into this? 

I'm sure you've come across the term CBT before and in this episode, I'm going to break down the term so that you understand how your cognitive (thinking state) will go on to become the behaviour that will be acted out.

Often the words Compulsion and Addiction are used interchangeably, but there actually is a difference between a compulsion and an addiction, and I want to help you understand the difference. 

I start by giving you a definition of what it means to have a Compulsion and then contrast that with an Addiction. I also talk about the brain's active role in which behaviour you will choose.

When we talk about sex, porn and addiction, it's important we separate the behaviours from the person.

So in this episode, I talk about why it's important to identify what is you, and what is your behaviour and understand the difference between adding something to your life as opposed to being intertwined with that something.

I also talk about how habit and repetitive behaviour practices lead to a person maintaining the behaviours that constitute sex, porn or love addiction.

In this first episode, I want to read you a poem by John T. Atwood called The Poem For Every Person.

It's a poem of reassurance because by opening up to me or a Kairos Centre Team member, you'll be opening up the most intimate parts of your life to a stranger, and I'm very sensitive to that.

My assurance to you is that we will never breach your confidentiality. Not only will we look after your information, sensitively and wisely, but we will create a safe space so that you feel confident enough to share some of those intimate areas with us without feeling judged or shamed.

I'm inviting you to embark on a journey with us so you can give up this thing called sex, porn and love addiction and trade it for something much better.

Your brain is not your best friend for a period of time when you first embark upon a Recovery Programme. It will sabotage. Learn to build treats and rewards into your recovery.

Watch for other co-addiction behaviours coming through the back door to replace the role of sex, porn and love addiction as you are achieving sobriety.
