Common activities that impact relationships include Shopping, Phone and unhealthy Social Media consumption. In addition the Relationship support charity Relate, found that 20% of British adults worry they may have a porn addiction. Viewing and pornographic content can spiral out of control, leading to emotional and psychological problems.

It can be difficult for people to feel comfortable discussing their porn use openly. French writer and filmmaker, Virginia Despentes says that “Consuming pornography does not lead to more sex, it leads to more porn.” She likens porn to eating junk food as a convenient but un-nourishing form of sustenance.

Porn consumption is normal. Porn becomes damaging when used as a substitute for genuine intimacy. Being able to separate porn and sex is important in order to become free of its hold. Porn doesn't fullfill our emotional needs. The addiction or unhealthy consumtion is actually the answer and not the problem. Individuals are using these activities in ana effort to find a solution for deeper sub conscious issues.
My psychodynamic Inner Child work is geared to tackling Shopping, Phone, Social media or Porn consumption that maybe impacting your life.
