Befriending Sexual Urges and Embracing Resilience in Recovery

How has porn impacted your approach to recovery? Learn 7 pornographic styles of recovery and what healthy recovery looks like instead.

Pornographic recovery is:

• isolated
• escapist
• avoiding pain
• impatient
• passive/consuming
• cold and harsh.

Healthy recovery is:

• relational
• embodied
• embracing pain
• resilient
• proactive/creative
• warm and kind

The idea of "a pornographic style of recovery" is based on Andrew Bauman's concept of "a pornographic style of relating" (PSR) as described here:
