- Dr. Trish Leigh discusses how long it takes a brain to conquer pornography consumption.
About this Porn Reboot Channel: Hi. I am Dr. Trish Leigh, a Cognitive Neuroscientist. I am on a mission to help people conquer porn use. My videos are designed to help you learn that:
Porn Damages Your Brain, Mental and Physical Health, and Destroys Your Relationships.
1. Brain Shrinkage and Underactivity: It shrinks the size of your brain and decreases brain
activity, among other damaging effects. It is true! I wish it wasn’t, but it is true.
2. Porn is bad for your mental health. It creates more anxiety, depression, moodiness,
irritability, anger, and more.
3. Porn is proven to ruin your relationships. 2x as likely to break up and get divorced.
I would love for you to watch these videos too:
- Understand how porn is negatively impacting your brain, health, and life.
- Stop watching porn, which can be difficult due to its addictive nature.
- Conquer porn use.
Every video has a strategy for you to use in your Porn Brain Reboot journey. So… watch the videos until the END and start using the techniques to help you succeed. You can do it with the right tools and support. That is why I am here. Go for it!

I am here for you in more ways than just this channel. I have created 3 programs in 3 different levels to provide you with the support that you need at a price you can afford.

"Remember, control your brain or it will control you. "
And who is that entity that should control your brain? That entity is also your brain. ROFL 🤣🤣 Think about it.
The brain should control the brain so that the brain does not control the brain?🤣🤣
I know, right! That is what makes it so challenging. The good news is you can use your brain to get control of it and your mind and your body. 👍🏼
control your brain or your penis will.
Acutly your brain is you
@@YtubeUserr you are the Soul, living in the body. The brain is your personal assistant.
It's difficult to control urges when we are sad and alone. But porn addiction could also be one of the main reasons why we are sad and alone in the first place.
Absolutely correct
Amazing perspective..
You don’t have to be alone Jesus can help you!!!
@@Joselopez-ew4uo I wish
Porn makes me sad and feel empty
It's so disgusting when you have a very normal day, like just walking and enjoying the fresh air and greeting strangers on the street, and then suddenly your brain bombards you with these random scenes you watch from porn. It really messes up my day.
Also the feeling of regret after you watch porn sucks.
I just wish I never ever discovered porn. Being curious sucks sometimes.
I know. It is devastating for many people. That’s why I just started making evening motivational videos. Subscribe… They will help you out.
Me also same feeling of yours.
That's not curiosity... that's corruption and ignorance..
Hmmm, v bad p addiction for 6 yrs now but I've never had scenes pop up ..
@@emadaldougleh6927 they mean being curious about what porn was the first time they saw it.
as a teenage girl who has a pornography addiction for a year and a half, i think i will try to do better. i always had problems with my family so short-term pleasures was an escape for me. but nowadays i started to notice how bad it effects me emotionally. i literally started spending more than two hours a day on adult sites. i don't want to spend all my time on these, i can't even study. from tomorrow, i'm taking steps forward, wish me luck 🤞🏼
Hi friend. Rock this out… You can do it. Find a healthy way to escape the challenges in your family. I am here for you… Let’s go! 💪🏽
Best luck. R👍eally feel you can and should overcome it. Best wishes. Take care

Horny and p*rn are two total diff thing.this shit (p**n) was created for pervert and unhealthy minded people.
Use that sexual energy into other stuff to create a better world, get out of bed bro
@@dpeschand3191 who are you talking to ? 😶
Haven't watched porn in over a month, I feel so much better, that place was hell. I never wanna go back. Time to love and live and respect life.
Are you telling the truth or making this up? can you explain the feeling? Im thinking of stopping
@@KaesOner Wouldn't lie about this shit man. Yeah last time I looked at porn was November 2nd I think. That was hell to be honest, I was escaping my own problems and I wasn't experiencing myself or life at all. If you find yourself abusing porn like I did I highly recommend cutting it off. It won't be easy but its so so worth it.
@@KaesOner Feeling right now that I have, is that I have so much life energy to just be myself and love people around me. Almost like I started regaining myself.
@@jwatson181 it really depends on how you use it, I used it unhealthily.
@@ricoco7891 anything in excess can be unhealthy. I hope everything is good and wish you the best.
I'm sick of seeing woman the wrong way, thinking of disgusting things, etc. I need to break this porn addiction asap. Thx for making this ❤
Yes, my friend I’m glad to hear you say this. Let’s go! 💪🏻 you can’t imagine the life that’s waiting for you. Let’s do it. ❤️🩹🙅♀️🙌
50 days is the longest I've ever went. I felt wonderful. Each time I go even over a week I feel fantastic. I have been studying and occasionally supplementing microdosing psilocybin to help with neuroplasticity. An intense psychedelic experience can really help too but it's definitely not easy, not a magic cure and not for everyone. I'm gonna make it my new year's resolution to go as many days as possible next year. I haven't smoked tobacco at all this year and that's been a big plus, getting away from porn and into real relationships will be wonderful. I'm proud of anyone out there trying!
I guess I’ve been going at it all wrong. I was already saved when I saw my first pornographic magazine and then years later after i was married I got into phone sex/cyber sex but porn is always handy to fall back on. I do not think I hate it like i should, I think I do but I think it’s the guilt talking and I expect that God should just take it away when i ask him to and when he doesn’t i get into such darkness and turmoil and I don’t pray for days (that really helps the problem 😩) but I’m always viewing it as sin and it is but it’s also a journey. I guess God wants to help me overcome but I am not satisfied with that, I want him to deliver me NOW and when that doesn’t happen the anger gets so bad. But I honestly do not think of it during the day except if a scene pops in front of my eyes. My wife and I can’t sleep together because of sleep habits and so I’m alone with so much opportunity…that alone can excite me. I feel so trapped. I simply hate the guilt I go through afterwards and it’s getting worse to where I feel no hope and feel I should end my life. I hate it but then I love it. I say I won’t do it but then I do. The guilty feelings follow me, follow me. I feel so horrible but I don’t know how to break the cycle for long periods of time. I’m not into hardcore stuff that’s disgusting, I just lust after a pretty face and nice body that is enjoying a moment…so mild and yet so awful. Or hear a female voice in passion…. I feel like an adulterer and that’s what I am. Have begged for forgiveness so many times from God, have opened it up to ministers, to my wife also until she’s sick of hearing about it. A good day brings it on, a bad day sure does. Quitting smoking was easy compared to this because that appetite eventually went away. With this you’re fighting against a God given urge….I need help!
Used psilocybine for alcohol. Had one beer after that, didnt feel the same and threw it away. Didnt have a drink in 87 days. Porn was a bit harder. 21 days now. Saw this video last november, I was struggling to stop watching. Celebrating every couple days and then relapses.
I’m 3 months porn free and it has not been easy since I quit. I’ve watched porn for more than 23 years and I’m still having yet those scene images in my mind (they come and go). One of the things that have been helping me to overcome the addiction is that every time I feel like watching porn I rather go to RUclips and I look for videos like this that tells me how bad pornography is and what are the benefits of not watching. That calms me down. It’s really hard but I know I can overcome that.💪
Congratulations on your accomplishment. It sounds like you are really committed and doing all the right things to move you in the direction of success. Keep rocking it out.
💪🏽
Bruhhh I started doing the same a few months ago but then relapsed. After coming across this I am going to start again. However I do feel like it is going to be hard for me I want to start like gradually decreasing how much I watch per week. Going cold turkey is going to be hard af
Fill your mind with the word of God to renew your mind daily and to give you a new heart. To be born again and to live like our father Jesus Christ he will give you life.
Yes, images keep coming & disturb our peace as they have a deep impression on our mind. The only way out is to not capture them (i.e. not seeing it). We become what we think & do. So, one has to choose carefully.
uhmm what videos do u watch can u suggest or recommend me some? what websites
Every time I relapse I feel like I'm disappointing the 12 yo version of myself who was full of dreams and expectations. Wish I could have know this earlier.
Me to... Me to.
Younger me would be horrified by what I let myself become
@@posadist681 you have to fight for your freedom bro! I believe in you.
@@posadist681 Everyone does mistakes. It's not your fault bro. Porn is presented as a natural thing in western society and it's rarely seen as a bad thing. Nobody talks about it as a potential addiction and now with high speed internet many people (expecially teens) are falling in this trap. It probably manipulated you during a bad time and that's when it planted the seeds for addiction. You were unaware of this. You couldn't know that. Forgive yourself and overcome this.
@@ULTRA0ALIEN What's scary is I stopped caring about everything thanks to this disease. Once I realized what porn had done and was still doing to me, I was overcome by fear of how much time I wasted and how many people I hurt. I went from not caring to living in fear. That's my situation right now.. I know I sound defeated but I appreciated you responding to my earlier comment. The fear and shame is no joke.
18 months ago on 8th may 2021, I gave up porn completely. It was tough since I had been watching porn almost every day since years. Your videos convinced my mind to stop watching porn. Did 90 days of no fap twice since then. Got a gym membership. Gained 15 kg lean muscle. Life is far more better now. I am glad I came across your channel. Thank you.
Good job!!! That’s amazing. If you want to further your understanding of this addiction and how to stay the man you are proud to be, get the book Unwanted by Jay Stringer. It will change your life. - 4 years of freedom.
What utter bollocks
@@johngilmore697 To each their own. Thanks for your opinion though, it was extremely thought out and thorough.
Proud of you. I wish my significant other would do the same.😢
@@ashleyshredder he or she will in time when the realize it is a problem not only for others but for themselves.
It’s day 30 today and I very proud of myself. Currently urges have been becoming very strong but I will never give up! I’ve fasted everyday from 5AM-8PM and I deleted all social media expect for RUclips. I have quit all music since I discovered it to be a massive trigger. I sense a strong sense of wanting to be more productive and want to improve myself.
Awesome accomplishment! I am happy to hear that you're recognizing your triggers and eliminating what you know will hold you back
Isn't t fasting bad for your body?
@@vijayvinee23No, its very healthy.
@@SuhailAlamKhan for like how many days?
Is that an ISIS flag in your pfp?
Todays sexual imagery in tv, music videos, coupled with Instagram, and the rise of Onlyfans has made it worse
It’s literally in our faces 24/7, feel like deleting social media at this point
Yeah but only fans is for a special type of pathetic
@@jiren1453 I've done it. Now I'm only on RUclips 😂
Good thing i don't have an Instagram. I don't even want to see what is on there. And im never going on onlyfans
OH GOD STOP WITH THIS FUGAZZI SOCIAL MEDIA BULL AND HOW LOW MUST A MEN BE TO EVEN VIST THIS CRAP CALLED ÖNLYFENS👎
never going back to that shit again, no matter how hard it gets, no matter how bad my urges tell me to play a porn video, I won't ever watch porn again. I will not quit. Stay strong, brothers and sisters, it might be a very difficult battle, but we will not quit. It might take a long time for us to feel better, but we'll definitely get there.
Well said Nikku bhaiya let's goo 🔥
how u holding up bro?
good for you! it’s been 8 months since i watched my last porn. Sometimes it’s hard
Thank you I havnt watched in a whole month
I feel better in my body 👩🏻🎓
And I feel like I’m taking back what’s mine instead of feeling like It belongs to other people.
Wow it sounds really sad when I write it down.
I'm starting tomorrow.Goal 17 august 2021-17 august 2022(1 year) wish me luck
Quitting Pornography was easily the best decision I have made in my life.
Amazing! Thanks for the comment.
Would you plz tell me how did it affect your memory ?? And if yes ,did it recovered after quitting it!!?
10 days clean atm, pray for me!
update please, how many days now, what do you feel, any differences?

When you said "cross your moral boundaries", that got my attention. I never really thought porn caused any problems for me, but now that I think about it, discovering different types of porn has gotten me into things I normally wouldn't, and definitely wouldn't explore in the real world. Even though it's just looking at something on a screen, it's not something I feel proud of, and even feel guilty about. This video just popped up randomly but I'm glad it did because now I want to better myself. Thanks for bringing this to my attention
You have by far the most detailed and common sense strategies I've ever come across on the web.
Am starting today , wish me luck my fellow worriors
Edit: Am still going .Wish me more luck .
Edit 2:Believe it or not am still going
Edit 3: Ninety days .I think am cured guys .I feel soo powerful I even beat up my bully yesterday. Anyways thanks for the love and support
Edit 4:Haven't watched any porn ever since and am proud to say I got a loving girlfriend now 😎 .Thanks a lot guys
Edit 5: Still going and I've seen some improvements in my appearance too more muscular. Anyways thanks a lot ✊
ROCK IT OUT! You got this!
How is it going so far? Its been 2 weeks...
WAY TO GO KING
Heck yeah! Go get it
Its been three weeks , the urge is getting stronger but I wont give into to it .
I was addicted for 4 years. I surrendered to Jesus and He helped me give it up cold turkey in one day it’s been 2 years. I hope that’s not discouraging, it may be different for other people. God took away many other addictions like smoking weed, cursing, etc. thank you Jesus!
Yes, some people can quit it in the blink of an eye. And I am so excited for you that that was your journey. For other people… It can be a long and arduous. Thanks for supporting them.
Cursing???
@@alexmercer2084 yes, cursing. Like filthy and crude talk. God convicted me of that also.
Watching an hour of porn or doing an hour prayer to God, it's the same thing
@@shekhargarhwal9516 that’s blaspheme
I have never been a porn addict but I used to watch it, maybe once or twice a month. Last year I have decided not to watch any pornography anymore, not even search for pictures. It has been 6 months since and I'm doing good. The best way to fight any addiction is to become addicted to something else. Just make sure that "something else" is something positive. In my case its book reading and calisthenics.
Free internet porn is not free, the price is your soul.
Wow, "Free internet porn is not free, the price is your soul" seriously that is incredible. It truly isn't free. Although it's easily accessible and can have no financial cost, the burden it causes is a huge price to pay. Often one has to sacrifice their relationships, happiness, and their own soul. It's an empty pit; it never satisfies.
@@shelbymccamy582the indulgence inside the pornographic material is insane for audiences. They are so easily swayed by this thing-perhaps a devil is running the puppet show
Beautiful lines.. free internet porn is not free, the price is your soul.. really appreciate it..
You found the truth. Without your literally sacrificing your life to support the $$$$ they couldn't function. You took power back.
Same here
Seldom and none
I can not even connect the dots backwards of how long it's been since I saw or watched anything either deliberately or by accident
Has not been a year yet but it's been maybe 7 to 9 months ???
been pmoing for 21 years and i just hit day 30 of quiting PMO and omg it took me a while to create this habit of not going for the screen. Dr. trish thank you so much for being the voice of reason when my highjacker mind was trying to tell me it was ok to to watch porn. keep up the amazing work we all need you. you are truly an angel sent to help us heal.

lmao you make it look like they fighting cancer
@@wajdi4468 our battles are difficult in our own way. But God is good and his mercies ate endless
It takes wanting to stop for the right reason. There has to be a higher purpose in why you stop. When we realize that we are here on this Earth for a reason it changes our perspective. All our organs must be working at the same time and in a complex way just like the world is so complex. The heart pumps blood and we need our lungs working at the same time as our diaphragm with these organs working together so we can breath and help move blood around our body and keep us alive. We have emotions and are able to reason. We're able to love and are created to love and be loved. We must be grateful that we are even alive and that we are blessed with our lives and the blessings in our lives. We are able to eat the fruit of the ground and drink of the water. We don't even deserve it but God gives it to us out of His love for us. We sin against God and do terrible selfish things out of the evil in our hearts. God is so good and us doing even one bad thing disqualifies us from being able to be in His presence because He can't be in the presence of sin since He is holy. We've told countless lies, we've lusted, and we've done terrible things in comparison to God's holiness. God has to have a payment for our sin for us to be able to be in fellowship with Him. God is just and while there's a lot of unjustness going on in the world right now with how sinful people have been God could have destroyed us as soon as we sin but He gives us the chance to come to Him. God gives us a conscience to know that things are wrong, we just have to want to turn from the wrong things and want to go to God.
i have not watched since 2020. i will NEVER in my life watch porn again
That's good. Just started to cleanse myself from it

Porn is filthy. My ex husband learned about sex from porn, and he really believed that every woman wanted to be treated like sluts, or enjoyed being forced into a sexual position to gratify a man. We got into many arguments over this fact, as I did not want to carry out his abnormal fantasies.
Even though we are no longer married, we became friends several years after our divorce, and he admitted to everything that was said in this video. He sought help to break free from his addiction.
Thanks for this video. I hope that it helps someone that has an addiction.
Now did y'all both end up back together. Was waiting for the good news.
I met a really sweet girl in a restaurant. She had her son with her. She approached me to see what I was reading. She confided in me that she was recently divorced. her marriage crumbled from her husband's porn addiction. She was a fitness nut too, even competing in fitness shows. She told me porn was like heroin to her husband. It was a sad tale. I saw her a month later at another restaurant and my friend went over na paid for her meal after I told him the story; he liked her too.

Dont fight against watching porn. Simply redirect your mental focus and energy. If the thought arises dont get upset, let it be and get up and do something else. Remember having sexual experiences with your partner is not porn. It's ok to have sex. Once you start fulfilling your life with new goals your need to have porn as painkiller will slowly but surely go away. Dont fight it, just put the damn cellphone down and start living. You'll be amazed on how much work there is to be done in your environment. Get out of your own way, eat clean food and live a happy life.
Sweetest most encouraging speech today
This is well said!
@Anton chugah Licker if you’re not willing to open for advice ... why click on this video?
Honestly, I think this is the best advice. Mindfulness meditation can be a great help in this regard - in terms of being aware of one's thoughts and behaviours and having the presence of mind to just do something else when the urge arises
It's not that simple. One would want to have sex with another woman then. That is the problem.
Thanks for helping. You are genuinely nice. I appreciate people like you 😊
Just listening to your voice is so soothing it's healing to ears Dr Trish. Thanks a lot 😊
Do no fap hard mode. Meditation, prolonged/intermittent fasting, and have drive/passion in life. Chase money and invest in your health. Don't chase women. Let women chase you.
I agree that 100%
Exactly 💯
I should also add that you shouldn't be surprised if women aren't chasing you. You can be ballin, but don't need to show that you're ballin to the world. If you're literally not trying to even talk to women, and you don't care, then don't expect anything. Have zero expectations. You should be so cool and confident that you can be your own best friend and be cool with that. I like to say I'm not single(single is desperate), I'm solo.
I'll say don't chase women but pursue the right woman. Cause if you are a masculine man you would automatically want a feminine woman. And a feminine woman wants to be pursue.
@@islandgirlxx3465 No they don't. Women always run when being pursued lol. Doesn't matter if Chad Chadderson is after them.
Remember, “Don't be a slave to your mind” 🙏
Agreed. Your mind should work for you, not vice versa.
Can't you work like teammates instead

"You're in control show your mind who is the one in control"
No matter what you do, you are a slave to your mind it is on you what kind of slavery you choose.
Discovering your channel is the best thing that have happened to me
Thank you... I am so glad to help.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 613 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I realised I had a problem when I watched the most perverse video and I wasn’t phased. Also women have addiction to porn too, please raise more awareness for women as well, as we can feel really weird having a porn addiction as people seem to only talk about men
Women definitely are impacted… But at much lower levels. I have the most awesome coach joining me soon to help women. Stay tuned… I’m here for you.
so true
Never knew women go through this issue as well makes me feel better knowing I’m not alone I can’t control my urges and it really does affect my overall lifestyle
SAME!
@@sekermavi101 ruclips.net/video/2mgUPt2KI08/видео.html
We are living in an age where nudity is used to sell products. Also when stuck in one place, without any external stimulus, the brain demands excitement, so most of the people resort to porn. The best thing you can do right now is to get rid of all social media, all of it. It's hard but not impossible. We have surrounded ourselves with controversies, rage, hate and instant pleasures. It's time to unplug people.
Agreed.
Thanks for the comment. It’s incredibly powerful.
The worst part is envy...
The system is so set up that you can reward yourself with porn when you can't get the girl you want because you have to jump through hoops...
So also RUclips
@@ngreat4390 this is a big one for me…. Hard as it is to admit after almost every failed relationship I relapsed in a bad way.
Very true
I experienced these before. Took me a lot of time to remove porn into my system. When you started not to watch anything, sometimes the images of those things pops out of nowhere. The way I coped to this was reading books, including bible, story books and any books that can distract me from remembering the vivid image. Whenever I recall the images I don't get too stressed/too focused on feeling bad that "changes aren't working" instead I chill and start listening to audiobooks or music. I finally broke away from it and rn I am alarmed that it might be going back again🤦.
It reminded me that you should surround yourself with people you want to become. Figured I should stay with different types of people.
Rn I am focusing on my studies better than before ❤️
I had severe arthritis and was limited to my home. This made quitting extremely difficult for me. For me it was boredom and ease of access, that drove me to the videos.
The struggle is real. Been porn free for almost three months. It’s a daily struggle for me. Thanks for your video.
What does not watching porn do? I don't get the hype for no fap, is it like a moral thing or what? I rarely watch porn so I don't get the purpose for no fap
@@alencifps1535 It's about getting over an addiction. Some people can watch porn in a healthy limited way and that's good. But some tend to rely on it to forget about their pain. Just like some people resort to alcohol or drugs.

Hey masturbation isn't the issue. That is normal and healthy. Sure fasting from masturbation isn't a bad thing. But if you can do it from imagination then it's ok. Porn is the problem. Not your natural sex drive.
@@youtubedrifter5594 nope it's not normal that's what addicts say when they can't quit both the "act" and the "videos" together, what's normal is your body taking care of the excess sperm through wet dreams which is the actual healthy way, I am even surprised to see many people say that they had never had a wet dream or can't remember having one.
@@youtubedrifter5594 youre right bro
@@shapsugh1864 I agree Nan 👍
I am 140+ days in ,no fap but now getting very strong urges plz pray for me🙏🙏
May we never go to that dirty virtual world again 😔😔
An addict for almost 6 years I am trying to control but I fail every time. I have lost my studies, body , family, emotions everything. Hope I will recover one day.
I love this discussion Dr. Trish. You are 100% right. So many men are addicted to this & even some Christian men are as well. I wished there were some way to take all of the porn sites down but we know that is nothing going to happen but we don't have to watch it either. Very good discussion Dr.
I used my brain to control my brain.
Spot on
Yes! The irony is not lost on me. That is what is called “meta”. Like thinking about thinking. Ha. But… It is the work to be done here.
Am I the only one that’s imagining Thanos struggling with NNN?

Great video. I really resonated with your vibe/energy
Thanks. I’m here to help. 🙏🏻🙅♀️
You're a wonderful help Dr. Trish. Thank you. Greetings from Scotland.
Porn addiction is often the symptom of something greater rather than the main problem.
can't we say the same for any addiction? In fact if the person doesn't address the underlying problem, they'll just go through life switching from one addiction to another.
Introverted nature for me

There is no forgiveness unless there is shedding of blood, and that forgiveness comes from the mercy of YAHUAH through the blood of Jesus.

This is the most useful channel on this topic. Looks like professional level of author is a key for this secret.
Doctors say porn does not effects. But the psychological effect is devastating.
Thank you for taking up an area of work filled with shame, loneliness, pain and self defeat. More power to you Doc!
Dear Doc, I just had one question. I have pretty much gone cold turkey for around a month now and dedicated my pursuit to the love of my life, music. I experienced a wet dream recently, I've experienced in the past too when I've gone months away from porn and subsequent acts. Is this normal in recovery or should I be worried. Thanks in advance :)
I've been addicted to this junk for 18 years and been trying to beat it for the past 12 of those years. My longest streak is 68 days and now years later I have trouble even getting to 2 weeks. I will again try to go as long as I can. Just seeing this video has given me motivation again. I'm tired of damaging my brain and letting lust war against my soul.
Me 12 years I will do the same I am feeling lost my brain is week my bones are paining I am 19 my hair is almost gone I am depressed but enough is enough
Turn to Jesus and repent of your sins
We could have a support group. If you are interested.
He’s been trying to “beat it” for 12 years! 😆 😆
I’ve just started to stop going on 5 days now, I find it really not to be that hard. I just start to watch gaming videos or read books when I get the urge. Stay strong!
Thanks for the excellent advice for getting things kick-started.
Thank you very much. I've started my journey to fighting this demon in me 💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. One day I'm gonna stand victorious.
I will also dude 😎.... Keep it up
Nørth Førcë yes you will! Remember, your brain has been hijacked. Boot that hijacker out!We will get your brain under control. Rock it out!
Jesus has encourage me and saved me I’m trying my hardest keep on failing I’m trying my hardest pray for me
If others can quit it, so can you, censor yourself and focus on something that will make you a more effective person and community participant.
@@DrTrishLeigh how long do you think it would take me to have a complete recovery? I started around 2017 so 3 years on a daily basis though. I’m barely 18 so i started watching later then average.
I was on noFap nearly for an year , honestly i saw the pinnacle of my stamina and then i went downfall again , gonna start it again to see the peak again and the journey is beautiful.
Thanks alot doc , it motivated me again to see my strength 🙏
I'm just gonna tell you something....dont give up....tell yourself " not today bitch"
Thanks. I’m stop watching last Sunday and I’m starting to feel a lot better and better
Thanks very much for your support!
I feel attacked, why was this recommended to me?
Haha double kill.
@@pastorwisdom3978 Amen 🙏 The Joy and Salvation be with us. Jesus is coming soon, hope y'all saved so we'll meet up in heaven 😊
I don’t know how it serves it up, honestly.
But I do know that many people are being suggested my videos and are glad that they are here. If that’s you, welcome.
lmao this was recommended to me and i don’t even watch porn
😂
One reason to not watch "P", is that you gain the ability to have great conversations with lovely women like Dr. Trish, without feeling awkward. The massive amount of energy you gain, is another great reason to stay away for good.
Absolutely, I honestly get so nervous when woman approach me or talk to me in public. Like there was this one woman, kept talking to me and following me wherever I went. She was attractive and she was so friendly... But me being so nervous I didnt held much of a conversation 😔
Thats the challenge of my life (44 y old - over 25 y of addiction and many relapses) the worst is after some time of recover when you feel good, libido came back and then you go to relapse because you delude yourself that nothing bad will come out this time
Thank you so much! God bless all of you! 🙏🏽❤💛☀
Thank you! I've literally messed up relationships with potential soulmates because I can't seem to control myself. I'm subscribed to your page now and I pray this is the beginning of serious consistent change for me.
could you tell me more? Like how that happend, did your soulmates know about the addiction?
Starting right now, wish me luck guys. Used to watch it at least 2 hours a day and it was getting more and more bizarre. I regret watching it and wanna change
Prayers
How's it going?
@@stephanooblus i relapsed some times, but i m still at my journey
You saved my life! I have to change and I will, God bless you.
am watching this video for i think the 17th time now , everytime usually after a relapse as i try to start the recovery journey again, am not sure whether i will beat this addiction but the video is for sure resourceful. i must admit porn is the ''hardest drug'' to beat
It’s the hardest thing you will ever do, but I know you can do it! When you slip, get up, dust yourself off, deconstruct what led you back, and change something! Keep going!
Thank you, Dr
I'm starting today,pray for me guys😊❤️
Go for it! Rock it out. Your brain will thank you.
I'm going to pray for you starting from today.
How has it been so far?
@@okparachinemerem7708 pray for me too, nothings wrong I just need attention
I'm going to do my best to not watch anymore, when you said that porn is an escape, that's how I felt each time I would watch it but then when it's finished I feel guilty,sad and even more depressed.So I want to change no matter how long it takes.

Thanks a lot Dr. Trish Leigh. :)
True That! Thank You for the insight and revelation! You are so right....
The turning point for me was realizing I love my own body. Funny thing about porn is it makes you forget who you are; a ghostly spectator who dares not look at their own body. I classify porn consumption as something entirely different from masturbation; the latter, when done right, leaves you more connected to your body and without disgust; porn isn’t masturbation, it’s dissociation. And that, more than any moral or logical argument, is what keeps me away from it. Dissociation nearly destroyed me, and knowing that I have alternative releases for hormonal angst that don’t involved pretending I’m someone else, renders porn a third party that can be dispelled with.
What scares me is that in this, I’ve found that porn tempts me in another way entirely; even if I’ve just gone yesterday, I’ll out of nowhere get the urge to google something despite knowing for a fact that I am sated; porn is a different circuit entirely; one that I learned, not born with. And what’s learned, never to be entirely unlearned, can over a long period of de-priotization become a weak circuit that has no power; the temptation for porn itself becomes the shallow ghost, one of many weak voices to be ignored among the clutter while you attend to more important things.
I still fall back into it, by now with a sense of morbid curiosity, but sometimes that circuit kicks in when I’m off guard. Ooh! Google that! Surely someone’s done it; that’d be fucking hot! But nowadays the call gets more and more pathetic because I’ve started recognizing how much MORE hot it is to have a wife and kids that actually like me. Realistically, if I were to have this hot mamma and kids who actually like me in the future, what sort of habits would that future hot-dad version of myself actually inhabit? Realistically, my wife would take one look at my impulse 3am google search and slap me in the face to get some sleep and stop fucking around like some dumb teenager.
The impulse is still there; it’s a physical switch in my brain that will only dissolve very slowly after decades of disuse, to be overwritten by something more useful; but until then, all I can do is prioritize other impulses, and bemusedly study the dying porn circuit as it flails about vying for my attention, and just figure out how the hell it even got there, and why I ever gave it the credence in the first place, when the real sex drive and the being tender drive and the toss your kid up into the ceiling drive are so much more imperative to the human soul.

17, and running on Day 84 without any exposure whatsoever
Well done!!
Any tips? Also 17, been trying to get past a week for nearly a year, really feeling like a failure rn
@Apex ty, I workout on a regular schedule, but I should start reading more.
17 and youre quitting? Got a good life ahead of you brother.. at 17 i was whackin off twice a day everyday
@@GurlsiLike I started watching porn at the age of 11 and it really started getting to me because it affected me in all spheres of life. I found the nofap community when I was 14 and ever since then I had been trying to rewire my psychology to accept that porn isn't necessary for my life. Been on it for 3 years and I still lose at times, this truly is a tough challenge, and it shows the extent of how porn had grown its roots through our mind. It's better to pull it out before its roots start to mature.
You are awesome in putting these things forward.....
I appreciate that!
I m 58
Watching for 25 yrs, on daily basis usually during the night 20 mn approx
Somettimes i attempted to quit but the addiction is strong . I take a decision and hope it will work this time
Thanks for your video

I lost the love of my life because of that addiction,I lost the most valuable person in my life because of my compulsion,I can't handle it anymore
Saw one of your videos last night and was interesting enough which I remembered when I got up this morning, today for the first time in a long time I haven't watched any porn instead I spent the entire day getting immersed in house maintenance, cutting the grass, talking to neighbours, washing the car and even at this late hour I still have no desire to watch porn so I think I'm beginning a journey to heal my addiction. I just hope I can find enough distractions tomorrow to continue the process, Peter
Beautiful! Keep watching my videos… They will keep helping you.
Get on purpose in your life and you won’t have to constantly distract yourself because you’ll be so engaged. Rock it out! 🙅♀️
I’ve been healed. This haunted me since childhood, I was just a little girl and it started with h*entai, thought it was just an animated show and got so traumatized yet my curious child brain wanted to watch more, until I saw a rape video... that was when I decided to stop. Best decision, God helped me a lot to get over it.
Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing. I know... that is the hard part, young curious minds don't know what they are getting their brains into. I am glad you were able to break free. Congrats!
Pray for me to be healed too

Man I am eternally grateful for having overcome my addiction to porn once and for all. I will admit it was not easy but it is 100% worth. The way I did it was by getting real with myself, very real. I pictures myself and my life in the future, how it would be like if I did not change. And oh boy there was so much pain that I simply did not have a choice. The alternative was simply to painful. To all those still watching porn and struggling kicking this habit once and for all, why is it that you keep doing it even though you know it is not helping you in your life.
How to stop it is my problem sir
@@nwokwumeshach687 You have to find a reason to hate the impure more than you love it and love pure things more than you love impure things. If you love it more than you hate it, then you'll always relapse. Learn to find joy in life out of person's, places, and things that are wholesome and pure and good. That's why we're so much happier when we are little children than when we're adults, it's because children don't normally take pleasure in doing things that are evil or disgusting, they take pleasure in things that are wholesome. Remember that pure and impure cannot exist together in harmony. When you do something impure, you feel ashamed, but when you do something good, you feel peace. I would urge you to try to do all good and no bad if you're up for the challenge and I assure you that you'll be much happier.(I speak from experience). I should also warn you so you don't give up easily: learning to recapture that childhood essence is probably one of the hardest things a person can do in life so be sure to try your absolute hardest in trying to find a solution. The pursuit of pleasure is not the same thing as the pursuit of happiness and I know how easily we all can get the two mixed up. Seek to do good. 😇
Thank you for all of your help!
Some of us don’t have any other option. Being sad and alone because you are undesirable is tough and unless you been there you don’t really understand.
Exactly especially lonely virgins

Hi Dr. , isn't there a correlation between childhood trauma or otherwise and addictive behavior whatever that may be? Shouldn't one focus on resolving that first?
I recently relapsed after 7 years. I had not watched anything in 7 years and then experienced the death of a loved one in a very traumatic sudden unexpected manner. I was doing so well. feel really bad, sad and empty. Its almost like hitting a line of cocaine. You feel so empty afterwards. I am praying this goes away.
Thinking about how much it’s ruined my life without me noticing , wouldn’t wish this addiction on my worst enemy
Oh man. I don't know why is this in my recommendation, but I'm glad.
Meditation works great for me whenever I get an urge. I just stop, sit down on the floor, close my eyes and tell myself "no" 10 times.
4months and still counting.
This video helped me💪💪💪
This is a major issue... more therapists should come forward in this direction to heal porn induced PTSD...
Or porn induced generalized anxiety (my issue)..
Porn ruined me was to focused not studying and paying attention in school , I stopped and feel so much better in myself wish I told myself 10 years ago
@Mr. Notorious relapsed getting back on the wagon everyone falls off it just happens
@Mr. Notorious super focused man I’m 24 now and been out of work but even my mind was clear and not foggy started picking up better habits out of no where I’m strong will powered even started reading books which I hardly even never bothered with since year 7
I don’t know if you are a religious man, but you should consider praying upon your wishes, confessing your sins to God, and just become grateful for what you have. I kid you not I used to not believe in God a while ago and I just started praying and man it helps. It’s barely been 5 days since when I started and currently feel no urges to go back. I believe an alternative would be using meditation as a way to manifest the person you want to become, if you’re not religious
@@20Dka0107 I just started praying trying to give up some vices especially alchohol all together I try meditate but I struggle to find peice in my mind
What if I do it in the middle, say after the break of one month? Have I lost the progress in the healing process?
