Porn Addiction Counseling Colorado- Symptoms, Effects And Treatment

By Stephanie Lee


Addiction to pornography is not a new practice; however, unlike other sex addictions, this realm of obsession has profoundly been revolutionized by technological advancements. Even before the emergence of the Internet, pornography was available in the form of magazines and videotapes, and it still is, except that tapes have transitioned into DVDs. The good news is that Porn Addiction Counseling Colorado is now widely available and covers its symptoms, effects and treatment.

Dependence psychotherapy is a kind of mental health treatment that focuses on helping a patient overcome compulsion or obsession and a psychological dependence. It also aims to understand the process of dependence and its impact on the patient, their family, and society. In acute cases of dependence, psychotherapy is often done in conjunction with medical treatments and other forms of therapy.

Dialogue-The ability to share your thoughts and feelings with others is very important during recovery. You can't be afraid to express yourself to those who hurt you and to those whom you have hurt. A dependence counselor can help you learn to communicate, not only with others but with yourself as well.

Mental Nourishment- Self-love takes more than one counseling session. Each day, a person has to wake up and remind themselves that they are important - to their families, friends, themselves and the world as a whole. If a person cannot do this every day, then he or she will have a hard time maintaining the level of self-esteem that is needed to kick old habits.

Another critical role of a counselor is to recognize the potential of addictive disorders to mimic medical or psychological disorders. Moreover, they have to recognize the potential of psychological and medical disorders that may accompany dependence. For example, many addicts self-medicate, their dependence masking a deeper problem like bipolar or ADHD disorder.

The sex addict may also find him or herself dependent on pornography to become aroused, which can cause a host of issues if their partner is not on board with it. The partner may be left feeling cheated on or inadequate, which places more strain on the relationship. This can drive porn addicts to hide their pornography collections, thus leading to trust issues.

What constitutes a porn addict? Looking at porn is not abnormal for many. In fact, many non-addicts enjoy looking at porn. However, when you find that you are thinking of porn all the time and cannot go without looking at it, you are most likely a porn addict.

Treatment for pornography obsession involves 12 step programs, individual and group counseling in which accountability partners are assigned. These are people who have battled their sex obsessions, made some headway in their recovery, and can provide support while being stern at the same time. Computer programs that block pornography in a variety of ways can also be employed.
