Porn and Sex Addiction Counseling in Ft. Worth
The Path from Addiction to Freedom
Perhaps your first exposure to pornography was by an older friend or sibling. Maybe you consumed it during a time when you were with peers. What started as curiosity cultivated into behavior that has controlled you to the point where you have been engaging in unwanted sexual behavior for years.

What are the signs of Porn and Sex Addiction?
You might be thinking “Well, all the guys I know struggle with porn and have lots of sex. What’s the big deal? It’s normal, right?” Maybe it is normal, but what is normal to the population doesn’t change the criteria for addiction. Here are some of the criteria:
Escalation: Growing to more risky kinds of behavior.
Frequency: Struggling with it with an internal time clock under 60 days.
Cravings: Experiencing withdrawals or thinking about it when not using.
Usage Despite Cost: Loss of energy, emotions, and relationships do not alter the behavior
Time: You dedicate and schedule lots of time to indulge
Autopilot: Feel numb, not as relationally present, and just going through motions.
Neglect: The quality of work, hobbies, and relationships get less focus and decline as a result.
If you or a loved one are struggling with porn and sex addiction please don’t hesitate to reach out for help.
