A natural response that our minds and bodies do to check out from, escape from, numb the pain of life. People, places, situations or things that are stressful often results in wanting to escape. Unfortunately when people use pornography to escape that can present a whole set of problems.
The therapists at Counseling Alliance LLC have advanced training in working with those whose pornography use has become unmanageable.
Excessive pornography use can become disruptive and severe, negatively impacting:
- Other roles and responsibilities
- Relationships
- School
- A person's emotions, especially guilt and shame
- Jobs
