When does recreationally consuming pornographic material become an addiction? If you or your loved ones feel like porn has become additive for you, reaching out to a licensed porn addiction therapist can help. At Blair Wellness, we offer pornography addiction counseling in Beverly Hills for those dealing with this issue.
Seeking Porn Addiction Therapy
While seeking help for porn addiction might be uncomfortable, it is important to know that this addiction is marked by the same type of patterns as many other addictions and it is treatable. Pornographic addiction is a type of behavioral addiction that is characterized by a compulsive need to view or watch pornography.
Consumption of pornography often crosses the line into addiction when it becomes a habitual behavior used as a tool to escape reality. Porn can also be used as a way to avoid dealing with emotional distress or pain. Porn addiction is often coupled with mental health disorders such as depression, OCD, or anxiety and may also coincide with substance addiction. For this reason, it is incredibly important to seek out the help of an experienced addiction therapist who can treat your addiction from all angles.
Symptoms of Porn Addiction
- You are neglecting responsibilities and personal relationships in favor of porn
- You feel guilt or self-hate after watching porn
- You seek out illegal pornography involving children or violence
- Your porn consumption is negatively affecting your finances
- You experience anger when someone brings up concerns over your porn consumption
- You keep your pornography consumption secret
- Your pornography consumption is increasing
- You feel withdrawal symptoms when you do not watch porn
The above are just a handful of common symptoms of a porn addiction. You may experience some or all of the above, or have other symptoms that raise concerns. Only a mental health professional can diagnose this type of addiction, and seeking professional help is a vital step in the process of overcoming your addiction.
How Porn Addiction is Treated
Addiction to pornorgraphic material can be treated with a number of different therapies and techniques, and deciding on the right type of treatment is a decision that needs to be made between you and your mental health practitioner. Dr. Blair believes in offering a personalized approach to porn addiction treatment to meet the needs of each patient. However, a common treatment for porn addiction involves techniques utilized in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on the connection between our thoughts and our actions so that patients can learn how to respond to thoughts or feelings with healthy coping strategies.
If your porn addiction has affected your relationship with your spouse or significant other, Dr. Blair also provides relationship counseling to help you and your loved ones work through this problem as a cohesive unit.
