Recognizing the Pattern

When it stops feeling like a choice

  • Watching more, or more extreme content, than you intend
  • Hours lost, often late at night or at work
  • Repeated promises to stop that do not hold
  • Shame, secrecy and distance from a partner
  • Sexual problems with a real partner
  • Escalation to chat sites, webcams or paid content

Understanding It

Why it happens

Treatment looks at both the habit and what it is doing for you.

Porn offers endless novelty with no effort, which trains the brain to want more of it. For many people it also works as a way to escape stress, loneliness or old pain. Treatment looks at both.

Our Approach

How we treat pornography addiction

Specialized, confidential care, built around your life.

  • Care led by a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT)
  • Individual therapy and a process addiction group
  • Trauma therapy, including EMDR, when trauma drives the behavior
  • A personal recovery plan with practical boundaries for devices and time
  • Partner support and, when both are ready, guided formal disclosure
  • Treatment for co-occurring anxiety, depression or substance use

Porn use often overlaps with sex and love addiction and technology addiction.

For Partners
