69: Journey Out of Darkness | A Porn Addiction Story of Healing Through Empathy & Compassion

In today’s article, I’m going to share a story with you. One that
I believe every porn addict can relate to. 


This story is going to teach you how to heal porn addiction using
loving and compassionate methods that, in my opinion, people
don’t talk about enough. 


It’s also going to teach you the truth about the underlying
psychology and root causes of porn addiction. 


This story will be told from the perspective of a father who is
watching their son struggle with a pornography addiction. And
regardless of whether you’re a parent to an addict, a spouse of
an addict, or the addict themselves, I believe this story will
help you. Above all, I hope it helps you feel seen, understood,
and loved.

I based this story on a therapeutic experience I had in an IFS
therapy session, where I came face to face with an ‘addict part’
of my mind and had a sacred interaction as best I can describe
it.

That addict part of me became addicted to porn and masturbation
when I was 12-years-old and had remained stuck in the shame and
belief that it was unlovable, alone, and perceived as evil. 
 

Many porn addicts have a part of their mind that is still there
in the past - stuck in that bathroom or at that computer screen -
believing horrible things about themselves.

If we can truly see ourselves and get in touch with the pain
behind the porn addiction - showing ourselves compassion and love
- I believe we can start to unravel that pain and overcome porn
addiction using the proper recovery mindset and lifestyle
tools.
