It might be that your excessive use of porn leaves you with little time to interact with your partner or friends. Your porn addiction may mean that you’re not getting enough sleep, leaving you feeling fatigued or overwhelmed with day-to-day life. I have had clients who have suffered from depression and self esteem issues because of the shame of their compulsive use or pornography. It is also not uncommon for porn addiction to lead to sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

Hypnosis is typically used to treat addiction to porn by persuading the subconscious that it is unhealthy and detrimental to your wellbeing. Positive suggestions are used to help manage the triggers that would ordinarily set off your compulsions. With this form of hypnotherapy treatment, it may be possible to temporarily manage your symptoms, but I have found in my office that eventually the addiction comes back or in some cases it manifests itself in another addiction. For this reason, I would always suggest getting to the root of the addiction so that it is eliminated completely.
