Welcome to "Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions," a podcast dedicated to guiding individuals and couples on their journey to conquer sex and porn addiction. In this episode, we delve into the powerful impact of cognitive distortions on those facing addiction, uncovering the tools to break free from these mental barriers. For those navigating sex or porn addiction, we begin by exploring the concept of cognitive distortions—those tricky thought patterns that can perpetuate addictive behaviors and hinder the path to recovery. Through empathy and understanding, we shed light on how these distortions may have taken root and why they seem so challenging to overcome. Throughout the episode, we focus on various types of cognitive distortions commonly experienced in addiction, such as catastrophic thinking, emotional reasoning, and black-and-white thinking. By recognizing these distortions, we can gain insight into their effects on behavior and emotions, empowering us to take back control of our lives. We share practical techniques to interrupt and challenge these cognitive distortions head-on. By fostering self-awareness and mindful responses, we learn how to break the cycle of addiction and cultivate healthier thought patterns, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life. In addition, we address the trigger response plan—a powerful tool to identify and cope with cognitive distortions in moments of vulnerability. This plan acts as a roadmap to navigate challenges and build resilience, enabling us to make conscious choices aligned with our recovery goals. Join us on this transformative episode as we shine a light on the path to overcoming cognitive distortions in sex and porn addiction recovery. Together, we embark on a journey of empowerment, growth, and healing, reclaiming control of our thoughts and actions, and paving the way to a brighter, addiction-free future.

The golden rule of behavior modification is "to break a habit you have to make the right habits that meet the right needs." This rule implies that compulsive sexual behavior is meeting needs ... because it is. Consider viewing your problem instead as a SOLUTION so you put yourself in the best position to develop a better SOLUTION. Failure to understand the needs that your compulsive sexual behaviors are meeting is huge. This perspective will completely change the way you think about your problem!!!!
