Your porn addiction is a trauma response

It’s all just trauma response. If everyone ok this app digs deep enough they’ll find out that their addiction to porn is a manifestation of some unresolved childhood trauma. Porn is an escape. I just realized I have abandonment issues from childhood. Ask yourself do you struggle with connecting with people? Making friends? Building healthy relationships with women? Being emotionally intimate and venerable? These are signs that something happened when you were a child and now as an adult you don’t know how to receive and process emotions (love), connection. So you turn to porn to get intimacy that you can’t get from people. Even though all you want is to connect with people. I invite you to dig deep on this journey to recognize the root of the issue because by so doing you will beat this addiction. Porn isn’t the issue. Your unresolved trauma is. Watch videos on trauma and attachment styles and you’ll understand. Half of us on this app have avoidant attachment styles. Read about it
