5: Interview with Sexual Addiction Therapist, Dan Ellenberg (MA, NCC, LPCA)

WTF Do I Do Now?

In this episode, I interview Sexual Addiction Therapist, Dan Ellenberg MA, NCC, LPCA. Some highlights of the show include:
- Dan discovering porn at 9 years old which led to an addiction
- Why men don't often speak up about their porn struggles and hide it in relationships
- Why the porn or sex addiction started years before the relationship even started and isn't because of the woman/partner
- Why a sex or porn addiction isn't actually about the sex/porn or "attractiveness" of other women
- How a porn habit can escalate into an addiction
- The chemicals being released in your brain while watching porn
- Why porn users continue going back to porn even when it makes them feel bad
- Why the problem of pornography is underplayed
- Intimacy disorder resulting from an insecure attachment style
- How EMDR can help people overcome addictions and trauma
- Why surveillance tools like CovenentEyes don't solve the issue of relapsing
