Hypnosis for Porn Addiction

Obsessive use of pornography can be distressing to your life and can affect your relationship with the people around you, just like alcohol and drugs do. Porn addiction can also dull your senses leaving you feeling empty, shameful and worthless. Watching porn daily programs the subconscious mind to use porn as a primary way to feel pleasure. Many people in our fast moving, limited attention span, “140 characters or less" society are constantly looking for a fast way to feel a little pleasure. For most, porn is the easy to access, quick way to feel good. If you add masturbation to porn and you’ve got yourself a mixture that works every time.

What many don’t realize until they’re hooked, is that porn actually does not offer you the release it promised to. It literally creates an imbalance of your attitude towards sex, wastes a lot of your time and money, and then makes you unwilling to let go of the behavior. But just like many other compulsive behaviors, porn addiction can be overcome through therapeutic hypnosis (hypnotherapy). Hypnosis for porn addiction has been proven to be extremely effective, and Elevate Hypnosis in Charlotte, NC specializes in helping our clients do just that quickly and privately.

What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural and drug-free technique that focuses on replacing the negative behavior from the subconscious mind of the person addicted and replaces it with a new more positive behavior. Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) works in conjunction with hypnosis in helping someone unlearn behavior patterns so as to stop the addiction. Basically, NLP works with your conscious mind, teaching you how to approach the new behaviors with clear mind as well as attitude. These scientifically proven effective tools will help you learn how to let go of the porn addiction and giving you the freedom to begin living a happy, productive and addiction-free life.

How Porn Addiction Works

Hypnosis can naturally and successfully treat porn addiction because pornography in itself is hypnotic. The overwhelming availability of pornographic material and the constant reinforcement by DVDs, computer and music can push anyone into addiction at a little or no financial cost. However, the cost of the addiction to the addict’s quality of life can be enormous. If you recognize any of the following symptoms or indications, it’s possible you might be facing a porn addiction:

• Preoccupation with thinking about porn, with constant thoughts of figuring out when and where you will enjoy some of it again.
• An irresistible urge to watch pornography at any time.
• An increasing tolerance to pornography, where you think of watching porn episodes to excite and satisfy you like it did the first you looked at it.
• Lying to your partner, family members and friends so that you can hide your porn addiction.
• Feeling irritable and restless when something comes up and you find it difficult to stick to your usual schedule of watching porn. This will make you feel like you are experiencing withdrawal pains.

Despite your unhealthy attachment to porn, you can learn to make your porn watching habit a thing of the past. Pornography addiction is basically a learned behavior pattern which means surrounding yourself with it becomes automatic programmed response.

With that in mind, you’ll realize that you don’t care anymore why you have the desire to look at porn - you just find yourself doing it. As such, the only perfect way to break your addiction to porn is to unlearn the automatic programmed behavior pattern.

Hypnotherapy for porn addiction focuses on such issues as:

Shame and humiliation

Whether you are caught watching porn by your boss, spouse or friend the embarrassment and loss of self-respect you’ll get can be quite devastating to you, the workplace as well as your family unit.

Loss of intimacy in your relationships

Hypnosis can help you restore intimacy or the emotional connection with your partner, giving you a different view of healthy sex rather than that portrayed in porn videos.

Restoring productivity and time management

If you’ve become addicted to porn, then you are likely to spend many hours a day watching pornography and visiting porn chat rooms. Thus, hypnosis helps you turn off the porn and get your mind back to things that really matter, restoring balance, productivity as well as time management.

Over-sexualization of people and objects

If pornography has become an addiction, then the probability of looking at computers, DVDs,Hy TV’s and people as sexual stimuli is very high. A person in this state usually seeks sexual gratification through these things. You can change your behavior using hypnosis in order to change the stimulus-response cycle.

Unrealistic expectations about sex

Exposing oneself to nearly perfect bodies who promise sex at anytime and anywhere can only make you experience great difference with the real world. This makes anything that is lesser than a porn-star look seem boring and unappealing to you.

Does Hypnosis for Porn Addiction Work?

Absolutely! Putting yourself in the meditative state of deep relaxation and then giving positive suggestions directly to your subconscious mind can greatly help reduce the urge for viewing porn. During the first few weeks, you might be tempted to fall back into old habits, but it is important to stay motivated and remind yourself why you sought to break your addiction in the first place. Hypnosis encourages and strengthens you while relaxation calms you down and makes it easier for you to deal with negative emotions, bad feelings as well as overcoming any poor-self-image that may have developed. Thus with time, recovery of confidence and self-worth become your new programmed automatic response to the world around you.
