Counseling?

My psych. just laughed at me when I told her I think porn addiction is one of my main issues in life. Why bother?

 

Drop her and find another, they should never laugh no matter how stupid your thoughts might be. A good one will do some research after your first session and figure out a plan to attack the problem, not make light of it.

Unless you have history of being sexually abused or something I think it's a waste of money. You need to do some soul searching and decide if you are 100% committed to this no PMO idea or not. If you come back with a 100% dedication then remove any/all of the content in your life that is porn and links your mind to porn. I find when you go into something fully the result is almost always better in life. If it did nothing before then what are the odds of it doing something now?

 

I would instead give that money for poor people, at least that will ease withdrawal symptoms.

 

They do that? Now I know I am never getting "professional" help.

 

That's not normal (assuming you mean a psychiatrist by "psych"). That was extremely unprofessional and inappropriate of them; I've seen psychiatrists myself and have many family members and close friends who have worked with them and I've never heard of anything like that. Like @zeekland said, a good doctor would never do that.

As for OP's question- I haven't tried it, but I know a lot of people for whom professional counsel has been a huge help. The whole reason I even found NoFap was because my physician referred me to it. If you really think it would help you and it would be worth the money, I think it's worth a shot.
