Porn Addiction Treatment

Pornography addiction can deeply impact your life, affecting relationships, self-esteem, and well-being. We offer a safe, supportive environment for compassionate and effective treatment, helping individuals overcome this struggle and reclaim their lives.

What is a Porn Addiction?

Pornography addiction, also known as Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder, is characterised by an uncontrollable urge to engage in sexual behaviours, often involving pornography, despite negative consequences. It can lead to significant impairments in relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms

Identifying the signs of pornography addiction is the first step towards recovery. These signs can manifest in various ways, impacting your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Some common symptoms include:

 

  • Spending excessive amounts of time viewing or seeking out pornography.
  • Feeling unable to control or stop your use of pornography.
  • Neglecting responsibilities or relationships due to pornography use.
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety or irritability, when unable to access pornography.
  • Continuing to use pornography despite negative consequences, such as relationship problems or decreased sexual satisfaction.
  • Escalating to more extreme or risky forms of pornography to achieve the same level of arousal.

Questions

Yes, although not formally recognized in the DSM-5, compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (which includes pornography addiction) is classified as an impulse control disorder in the ICD-11. It shares many characteristics with substance addictions and can significantly impact individuals’ lives.

Therapy provides a safe space to explore the underlying causes of addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and learn strategies to manage triggers and cravings.

Treatment options include individual and group therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), medication-assisted treatment (if applicable), and support groups.

While some individuals may be able to manage their pornography use on their own, professional help can be crucial in addressing underlying issues and developing effective coping strategies for long-term recovery.
