Understanding and Managing Compulsive Sexual Fantasies

00:00 • 8min

Fantasizing about porn and sex is one of the most dangerous aspects of pornography addiction.

Unlike with other drugs that you can create physical distance from, porn offers no such luxury. The memory of scenes you've watched will often continue to pop in your mind, releasing dopamine, and trapping you in the screen.

This is why the unwire, rewire, and hardwire phase of porn addiction recovery is so crucial to your journey. The most effective way to do this is through neurofeedback brain training. When you tackle porn addiction at its root -the brain- these images will no longer hold you hostage. Without Neurofeedback, the path to recovery can be a long and taxing one.
