In Episode 210, Mark & Steve address an issue that comes up often in porn/sex addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing—the challenges of ADHD that seem to often correlate with, and/or accompany addiction. This episode is in response to a situation submitted by a PBSE listener—

"I have heard there is a correlation between ADHD and addiction. Have you noticed this in your practice, and what is your advice to both addict and partner on how to cope and battle through both issues collaboratively? I looked into the symptoms of ADHD and some of my long term frustrations with my partner could fit that. But others don’t. It’s hard to know what could be attributed to the addiction (emotional immaturity and selfishness) versus what could be ADHD related."

-  Mark talks about his own life-long struggle with ADHD symptoms and addiction.

-  How ADHD and porn/sex addiction symptoms can correlate and cross over in a variety of ways.

-  How porn use, as well as other online practices can "fuel" already existing ADHD symptoms and vice-versa.

-  What can an addict in recovery do to also manage his ADHD symptoms/challenges?

-  What can the partner of an addict do to support him in his "dual" struggles—without crossing the line into rescuing, over-owning, playing policewoman, etc?

-  How can a couple come together to collaborate as a team in facing these issues?

-  WHY can trips and vacations be SO triggering for both the addict and their partner?!

-  HOW  is safety created for addicts AND their partners when the addict travels "solo"?

-  HOW is safety created for the addict and the partner when they travel together as a couple?

-  WHY every guy in recovery from porn/sex addiction MUST create, share and follow through with a "TRAVEL PLAN."

-  WHAT are the specific, essential elements of a Travel Plan?

In episode 180, Mark and Steve address an insightful inquiry from a porn/sex addict seeking a real and lasting change of heart and mind in his recovery. Here's how he describes his situation—

"Hello! I am a recovering porn addict, and I have been listening to your podcast for the past six months or so. I have had a CSAT for the past nine months and started going to 12-step meetings around the same time. The recovery process has been hard, but I have begun to finally uncover some of the needs that I have been trying to meet or ignore by using porn. It has been in some ways exciting to have a better understanding of my insecurities which I have unknowingly been trying to shore up with porn. But now that I have started to pull back the curtain, I’m not sure of the best way to move forward. How can I practically retrain myself to address my insecurities in a healthy way, now that those insecurities have been at least partly revealed? Just the knowledge of how my coping mechanisms are unhealthy and an idea of what a healthy response would be doesn’t actually change my heart or my brain. I can tell myself truths repeatedly and I can set up daily reminders of what would be healthy, but that does not seem to offer much in the way of real heart change. I know this question is very broad and answers may be insecurity/situation specific, but if there are any recommendations for how to really internalize healthy responses, I would appreciate it. "

-  Why do porn/sex addiction “symptoms” seemingly get all the attention and focus?
 
-  What is the difference between treating addiction “symptoms” and uncovering and healing the “core causes/issues” and why does this matter?

-  How does all of this relate to “co-dependencies” and relying on the “external” to soothe the “internal”?

-  Why can addicts in recovery become burned out, complacent, disillusioned and give in to the so-called “inevitability of addiction relapse”?

-  How does an addict in recovery move from “sobriety” to a “real and lasting change” of mind and heart?
