The crazy thing is this can be applied to my compulsive internet use and browsing the web endlessly all day long instead of doing my recruiting/sourcing candidates or even learning a new thing. Thanks doctor, god bless you.
@Steve Saul Same, so maybe we just need to find healthier addictions? running/biking/meditation/dancing. I used to dance a lot, clubs and salsa nights at this studio. I should get back into it.
Tell me what is not true from what she teaches?? I guess u know better than her? If by this u mean porn/ masturbation is harmless then carry on if thats your thing good luck with that... One day you will see the light no doubt
Congratulations man! Day 27 for me, since finding this channel. She does a phenomenal job of giving the brain science and facts about the issue WITHOUT judging. I think that's what makes this information easier to receive. She's telling us what she think would be best for us without commanding to telling us what to do. That makes us have to decide for ourself on how we're going to address the cognitive dissonance she's sparking in us. Option #1 for the win!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and studies with the world. It is greatly needed and appreciated. Hope you continue to prosper for all that you do.
This may be your best video yet Dr. Trish. I "quit" porn on 2 notable occasions in my life. First back in 2015 when I was 17 and wanted to see how long I could go without it. Only lasted a month. Second was 2016 where I attempted to see if I can go longer and caved after 2 months. In both instances my goal was never to quit indefinitely. I knew porn was bad for me by this point, but I didn't know how bad. Now at 25, I have full intent on quitting indefinitely and your videos gave me the push and wake-up call I needed to make that first mountainous step. I literally subscribed at the beginning of this month so I can keep seeing these videos in my recommendations. It's only been 27 days, but I've been using exercise and breathing techniques as my primary source of mood regulation. I still have sporatic urges to touch myself, but I haven't had any urges to open up the porn tab. Thanks for the good work you do. Also I love how you deconstructed the Tik Tokkers' mental state instead of attacking them. Hopefully they come to the realization soon enough and change their action for the sake of their own health.
Dr. Leigh, all I can say is Thank you. This video is so excellent. I have been talking about cognitive dissonance for a long time with folks as it applies to other issues like politics etc. I never connected it with my own PMO issue. I thank God for you and hope you never quit doing what you are doing. The Porn industry through media like Tik Tok will be employing strategy #4 against you in force! Hang in there! You are simply wonderful to do this !
I've applied this to my comfort zone many times because it's the major thing that has been holding my back to live the life I want to truly live. I know PMO isn't helping me but it's also in my comfort zone. I'm not used to things out of my comfort zone. However, to do this I'm not used to, like abstaining from PMO is exactly what I'm going to have to do if I want the life I want to live. Its really not easy but I've been trying for a year now and I hope to do better overall.
Doesn't change the fact she's a fraud. She does NOT have a degree in cognitive science, neuroscience or psychology yet claims to be a "Cognitive Neuroscientist". Most of what she says is horseshit. She does know a lot about cults and manipulating people though; strange, that.
I think one of the easiest, most immediate ways we justify porn use is simply by thinking, "it may be harmful, but it feels good". It's so easy, because it doesn't even require a worded thought, it just requires anticipation of that impulsive release.
Could you make a video on the impact taking antidepressants and mood stabilizers while going through porn recovery? Does it stall the process or could it help? Thanks.
Your message is so true Iv been following you for a while hoping to defeat this I wish I could talk with you face to face but money is an issue right now but I will keep listing and looking for the exercises
You need to plan and edit these videos better. You're making some great points and they need to be heard. The meandering, stumbling style is great for a clinical setting but it's painful to sit through on TH-cam. I'd like to see more but this could be condensed into a concise 7 minute video that got straight to the point.
So in other words Dr trish, you're speaking the truth.. and the truth hurts. It could also be this person was already very angry at himself deep down for viewing p*** and you called it out like you said
Practice what is good, Avoid what is bad for you. Exercise also speeds up recovery, reading books, eating healthy and avoiding high sugars. Avoid violent movies and subjects that are depressing or people that are depressing. Avoid movies, literature or video games with sexual themes, spend some time in the sun, Take a Vitamin D&K supplement daily. Join a support group. Besides Dr.Trish I also follow TH-cam channel Scandinavian bob. Check him out.
I think she has a video explaining that cycle. When PMO is the main source of mood regulation, taking it out and not replacing it with something else can leave you feeling worse and possibly even worsen your urges. I use exercise and breathing as my mood regulation now, in place of PMO. It could be any hobby or anything you enjoy that doesn't involve PMO. Best wishes to you and remember, we're really all in this together.
Doctor trish does cognitive dissonance have anything to do with ocd intrusive thoughts. I had intrusive thoughts from a young age, but those days I would also pmo. Since I was 20 I have been trying to practice semen retention but, the ocd intrusive thoughts have amplified. What should I do
Sounds maybe strange, but just my experience; I was a follower Abrahamic religion, after I left the (abrahamic) religion finally I'm able to control my compulsive behavior.
I have nothing against what you say, however, I would give you more credit if you consider that the majority of people who watch porn have no partners and living a life in which you do everything to be a good person and still get no sex is pretty boring.
Ty for all this info. I'm the wife of a man addicted to porn. I can't tell u how many times he has lied and hid it from me. Swears he quit just to find out he didn't. I'm considering divorce bc I can't keep forgiving unchanged behavior
She is so Freeking attractive! Sometimes I have to rewind what she says.Cause I’m like,damn woman you are sooo fine! Wait what did she say? She is something! A beautiful soul and the looks to match! Mm…mm.❤️
I’ve watched porn literally everyday since I was 11. I haven’t skipped a day even on days where I have sex with real people. I think I’m broken. I’ve sworn off committed and loving relationships for other reasons. Is there a reason for single people to stop watching porn? Like if you have no interest in actually attracting a real mate, then Is this stuff irrelevant? Genuine question.
Is that a life that appeals to you? Alone and incapable of intimacy with another human, forever a slave to the dopamine rush, like a monkey masturbating in a cage at the zoo, another victim and enabler of the multimillion dollar trade in human misery that is the porn industry? This isn't about 'attracting a mate', it's about having self-respect and dignity. If you don't think that's worth it, man, I don't know what to tell you.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be invest indifferent streams of income that don't depend on the government . Especially with the current economic crisis around the world.this is still a good time to invest in Gold,Sliver , real estate and digital currencies(BTC,ETH..).
I really I appreciate this video. Instead of me watching porn, I will make sure to not porn, and watch your video instead. Thank for creating to impact our lives 😢😍😍
Cognitive dissonance and porn addiction behaviour has to be two different meanings and concepts. one of them is mentally conditioning your brain and the other is conflicting your brain with over information, or information of interest. CD meaning their is just too much information out their for the brain to repeatedly absorb and focus and therefore may be causing distress on that part, which in a sense is conflict of information. Addiction or Stimuli is a behavioural condition and neither does damage the brain, you become accustomed to it knowing the dopamine hit you had last made you feel the way you wanted it. No individual has the same characteristics, and you cant situate everyone in the same category.
Trish, I didn't get all the way the way through this. First, in terms of neurochemistry, it never made sense to me how your really exciting breast, or lips, or position you suggest between us is qualitatively different stimulus than a screen picture. Radiation from an t.v. tube screen maybe? You've ignored this before. The stuff you talk about, the beta energy, the alpha energy, the middle peace of the brain. You've got to realize, really, it makes no sense. But, there are I think a preponderance of not only P.hds, but MDs as well that will tell you, masturbation does not damage the brain. Before subjecting children to your insights, I would would think I would want, as a scientist to be certain of my own objectivity. You talk of my loneliness, anxiety, all that stuff again. I guess at this point I will tell you, there is no man on the planet that is lonely, has anxiety, any of that crap. And I guess, I represent them. The dissonance thing was interesting. I hope you liked Jeff because he said he had friends with analytical minds. If I follow someone further because I have sold my home and am more committed to believing a fraud they have perpetrated, I would think that is a different dissonance than knowingly lying about something I known was boring, because why, I'm getting paid more or I want the person next to believe me? That person knows it was boring. They're lying. My Dad told me in his time a man was a provider and a protector, I guess just like that fool believed in the space ship. How is that dissonance? I wonder about the psychologist. He "suspected the spaceship wasn't coming?". Maybe he was a neuroscientist and he figured it out. Love John.
@@Janadu Well Janadu, you may feel boxed in, but I hope you're safe. You do not want to break a person down. I guess if you could pay them a little more and get more work out of them, you could have a lot of success. But doing it that way, I'm pretty sure, you will not like what you see. John.
@@Janadu Is this your father talking, are you saying he needs help? You know, it's pretty tremendous to let your wife go and talk to a bunch of guys about masturbation. Although I guess it would help if they were, one and all, lonely, anxiety-prone, etc. Do you think that makes it easier? Do you know what it's like to get the help you talk about? Love John.
The crazy thing is this can be applied to my compulsive internet use and browsing the web endlessly all day long instead of doing my recruiting/sourcing candidates or even learning a new thing. Thanks doctor, god bless you.

Do not stop your work doc. ever. no matter what. it is an absolute necessity.
@BURBLE DRANK so? what she is saying is not wrong at all.
Tell me what is not true from what she teaches??
I guess u know better than her?
If by this u mean porn/ masturbation is harmless then carry on if thats your thing good luck with that...
One day you will see the light no doubt
Checking in on Day 70, brothers.
LETS GO!!!
This is THE channel to understand the problem!!!

Seriously, love your insights and the way you present the material. So helpful and true.
I work in addiction and this video was very helpful for group therapy topics. Thank you Dr. Leigh.
thank you , Doctor Trish
I love this woman video to change my life
Everything you say resonates within me. I couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for making these videos.
Doesn't change the fact she's a fraud. She does NOT have a degree in cognitive science, neuroscience or psychology yet claims to be a "Cognitive Neuroscientist". Most of what she says is horseshit. She does know a lot about cults and manipulating people though; strange, that.
Thank you for your videos. They are motivational and are helping me.
You're doing God's Work Doc. Bless you and thank you.
you have an impact on people ... you impact me to improve as a human being
I think one of the easiest, most immediate ways we justify porn use is simply by thinking, "it may be harmful, but it feels good". It's so easy, because it doesn't even require a worded thought, it just requires anticipation of that impulsive release.
Keep spreading the truth, Dr. Trish!
Great video as always, God Bless!
People cannot see the self sabotage they are creating for being the addiction.
learned a lot about cognitive dissonance, takin notes. thanks
Hi is it possible to email you?
Learned about cognitive disconance,or buyer behaior in Marketing Management.
Thank you for your imformative videos.
3:01 "I just watch porn to relax.."
•Brain fog, you're depression, adhd etc..
Hey Dr. Trish Leigh sorry this porn struggle makes me less smart how exactly do I do the second step and third step
Could you make a video on the impact taking antidepressants and mood stabilizers while going through porn recovery? Does it stall the process or could it help? Thanks.

Good content. Bad lighting.
15:34 is so true and also me every other day since I started healing my brain lol.
But I like it.
How do I hard wire my brain to a good pattern

By thinking positively.
Thank you for this podcast 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Is it true that porn gives you intrusive thoughts?
nope!
It does! It dysregulate the ventral striatum region in the brain which leads to depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder
The more I try to quit the more my mind keep jumping into depression and madness.
I think she has a video explaining that cycle. When PMO is the main source of mood regulation, taking it out and not replacing it with something else can leave you feeling worse and possibly even worsen your urges.

Very broad term 🤔
I'm not surprised.
Hello dr trish leigh can you talk about the religion effect for quitting porn
religion created porn. turn atheist is your best start.
I have nothing against what you say, however, I would give you more credit if you consider that the majority of people who watch porn have no partners and living a life in which you do everything to be a good person and still get no sex is pretty boring.
Thank you 🙏
yo what's up with all of these cryptobros spam over the comments
It's all over TH-cam.
They are scammers.
I report them as I see them. Losing battle, but I'm not one to give up.

Try leaving the screen for while inorder to relax your brain

Dr. Trish is it best to give up masturbation completely so that i will be able to get an erection without my hands?
Yes, sex with a partner is optimal. It will have you going multiple rounds a day with your partner trust me I know!
