My treatment for problematic viewing of porn

Like ‘sex addiction’ treatment, my professional opinion is that the addiction model is not effective to treat problematic porn use. My treatment approach is based on specialist psychosexual training and experience, clinical research on human sexuality, clinical evidence on brain functions and neuropathways, and human psychology.

My treatment model of problematic viewing of porn includes:

Psychosexological approach to help identify the levels of porn use and masturbation that is wanted from what is unwanted.
Learning new ways to self-soothe and cope with the negative feelings about life: stress, anxiety, feeling low, feeling bored, feeling unfulfilled, feeling bad.
Deep exploration of your sexual and erotic landscape.
Deep exploration of your emotional world and core beliefs.
An examination of cognitive processes.
Re-instating balance in life: hobbies, positive connections with friends and loved ones, a deep sense of self, finding meaning, higher self-esteem.
Healing the possible trauma(s) underlying the roots of problematic porn viewing.
Healing the romantic and sexual relationship that has been neglected, if appropriate.
Re-integrating porn viewing into a vibrant, diverse and fulfilling sexuality with self and others.

The treatment for problematic porn viewing can be short-term. Using specific modern humanistic, evidence-based psychological interventions informed by contemporary sexology, people can re-integrate their porn viewing in a functional way and change their lives positively.
