Episode #157: How Childhood Trauma Fuels Your Porn Addiction — Dr. Trish Leigh
How Childhood Trauma Fuels Your Porn AddictionHave you ever felt like something was missing—like there’s a hole in your heart you can’t quite explain? 💔 That feeling could be rooted in childhood emotional neglect, and it may be influencing your struggle with porn use.Many of us grow up in environments where emotions are overlooked, not out of malice but because parents were often too busy or didn’t know how to meet emotional needs. These patterns passed down through generations, can lead to emotional avoidance and unhealthy coping mechanisms like turning to porn.In this Podcast, Dr. Trish Leigh explains how unresolved childhood wounds and intergenerational trauma create a ‘wired and tired’ brain pattern—one that increases stress, anxiety, and the urge to escape difficult emotions through porn.But there’s hope! By identifying your emotional patterns, building self-awareness, and learning healthy ways to process emotions, you can create new brain pathways and break free from compulsive behaviors.This isn’t just about willpower; it’s about reprogramming your brain and healing your heart to become your best self. 💪Recovery isn’t endless—it has a beginning, middle, and end. You can overcome porn addiction, heal emotional wounds, and step into the life you’ve always wanted.If you’re ready to take that step, visit drtrishleigh.com for resources and support.
