therapy

Hello guys I am quite helpless on what to do. I have finished a depth psychotherapy which took me 3 years. I have learned a lot but I am still helpless and addicted. I am quite lost rn after a session of 10 hours while working remote. I fear that this addiction will ruin my whole life, take...

Hello guys, I am heavily addicted to femdom, cuckhold and IR porn (also other categoried but these are the main ones.) I have been in depth psychology therapy for about three years now, it helped me understand the main roots lying in my childhood and also some methods or ways to handle the...

Hi everyone, I joined this forum late last fall, so I’m not exactly new here. But I am new to finally stepping forward, telling the truth about my situation, and asking for support and advice from people who understand this struggle. So in that sense, this is my Day 1. I’ve been looking at...

Hi all, Have any of you faptronauts heard of, or even tried this service... https://www.pivotalrecovery.org/. ? There's more info here... https://sexaddictionhelp.co.uk/ I'm naturally cynical about most things in life but this feels more genuine than most things i've seen. Tar

Hello brothers, I really need your help and don’t know what to do anymore. So my situation is the following: I have been watching and edging hours long to femdom, IR porn, sissy, etc (also “normal porn” ) and have been chatting on sexchats. I am attending therapy (we are working on my past...

Hi, So I am very close to start working with a life coach, which seems to me like the perfect thing for this problem. Knowing that - PMO is a symptom, not the root problem - it's linked to other behaviour issues like procrastination and social timidity, isolation etc. - it's about status, self...

I need professional help, but I’m too ashamed to ask for it. I’ve been trying to quit porn for over a couple months, however during this summer break my motivation to end all related to it increased. I deleted all my Twitter, Quora, Reddit and Instagram accounts which I used for masturbating...

Hi my fellow fapstronauts, Today i am starting my nofap adventure because i'm starting to realize how my addiction to femdom is starting to reach a more extreme side and it has a negative influence on my self esteem. Since i started watching porn which was about 9 years ago i have always been...

Hey guys, I am in my 20´s, from Germany, so I have to excuse for my English in advance and just hope to get better from reading your posts and from writing myself. I write you, because of today, it's been a little more than a week, that my girlfriend (or now ex) found out about my addiction and...

Yesterday I watched this documentary about how bad the therapy is on BetterHelp and how reluctant they are to give refunds. At one point I was seriously considering using them but now I'm glad I didn't.

Hello fellow brothers of the good fight, I am helpless. Yesterday/today night i edged the whole night from 00:00 until 05:30 when i have to wake up for work with a dildo on internet sexchats. At night when I go to sleep the urges are the most extreme, often times i sleep like 1-2 hours, wake...

Hello everyone, due to my miserable situation right now I want to share my addiction story with you all: I am 25, quite good looking and fit, and live in South Germany. Right now I am living with my parants and my younger brother again. Since Feb 2023 I am working as a controller in an...

If I were to sum up his reasons for quitting is that the therapy system is broken. I've talked about therapy abuse in this forum before, but the other side is that there are therapists who truly care for their clients and those who do have to fight the system.

Wanted to make a post to see if there were any other sufferers of any kind of mental illnesses from all walks of life. Men, women, trans, old, young, from any part of the world on this forum. I myself am a sufferer of Bipolar II, Major Depression, C-PTSD, Anxiety, Insomnia, and that's it so far...

Well, I’m here now. I’ve accepted that I have a problem with P. This is by far the most vulnerable and anxious I’ve ever felt. Like most here, I was introduced to P at a very young age (about 10 yrs old). I’m 35 now and it’s clear that I’ve become a slave to this poison. It’s caused me to live a...

Hi Y'all, new guy here. Long-time oddball in life with Asperger's Syndrome and anger management issues among other things. So clearly I was going to struggle regardless. But the thing I truly despise about myself is the form of porn addiction I got into. Word of warning, this isn't just an...

I am broke. Right now I am unable to see any therapist or take any professional help. But what I can do is to teach myself the therapy itself. I will write down all the techniques I have learnt and share resources. I will use this journal as a thought diary as well.

Don't get me wrong, I think therapy can help some but I hate how some people talk about it as if it's the answer to everyone's problems. For some people, therapy doesn't work. It's like for some people, therapy is their religion and their religion has all the answers. A therapist is like their...

I've been addicted to cuck hentai and have been exposed to 2 works that feature wife getting cucked and roping their daughter into it. In both, the daughters are designed to be hypersexualized loli characters. I've both stumbled upon both while searching for hentai, and though I felt disturbed...

I've been stuck in a cycle of relapse for weeks now and it's draining me physically and mentally. It seems like everytime I try to stop I realize how isolated and lonely I am and I just can't cope. I know really well what sexting and porn do to me, but I keep choosing it because it's somehow...

Hey everyone! I've been in recovery for sometime now, and it's about time I get a sex therapist. I've been looking around for sex therapists that can treat/are experienced in porn addiction, but without much luck. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about where to find a good (accredited...

Hi, I am an 18y/o who has been addicted to porn for 6 years. Started from simple curiosity, then amplified by my father who watched it himself and basically encouraged it. University has been a great way to reinvent myself, and this is the last part of my old self and my old life I want to...

And she is just simply not taking it well. I frankly would go as far as to say that she's barely taking it at all. I've relapsed in relationships before. Including many times in my current one. However, this time is just... different. It's more visceral for her. It's more depressing for me...

My story after knowing NoFap for 5 Years - I don't exactly know why i am writing this. Maybe as a way to review and get things of my chest. Yesterday i went to a psychotherapist for the first time which i will mention at the end and wrote my four most relevant questions down. So i joined this...

Hello again, So. He promised that he won't do it again. (Just so it's clear: I didn't want him to promise that, as I knew there was a huge risk of him breaking that promise. He really wanted to do it. So he did.) But then he didn't keep it. We're in a long distance relationship, and since I...

This website was recommended to me by my psychotherapist. It’s completely free and takes about 7-10 minutes to complete. It’s helped me identify my attachment styles, personality traits, my level of narcissism etc. You can also retake the questionnaire every 30 days to note changes, both...

I got hooked to porn as a teenager growing up in a conservative family and religious environment. I didn't realize years of watching porn will eventually destroy my marriage. I always believed the lie that I had it under control and that I can stop it whenever I want. I was even able to abstain...

Hi, has anyone developed a condition called Hard Flaccid ? Link https://www.urologynews.uk.com/features/synopsis/post/hard-flaccid-syndrome My symtoms are Hard flaccid when standing Penile pain Penile shortening Erectile issues If so what helped you. Did you ever try Gainzwave therapy? Any...

Honestly, after I've been to therapy (only 2 times) it's been an amazing experience, helping to improve on other areas in my life, such as going outside more, keeping an organised timetable, eating healthy, and looking into joining clubs for the social interaction. My therapist is an amazing...

I stumbled upon this video on YouTube. It explains of an approach which I am reluctant to try as I already got a good streak going and I consider that this can be risky. What are your thoughts on cue exposure therapy? Did this method help anyone in their rebooting process?

I know people are going to or considering having therapy to help them reboot so a recent episode of File on 4 about the therapy business might be of interest to some. It's quite shocking really that the UK therapy industry is unregulated and online therapy is no better. At the end of the show...

The Shrink Next Door is a new podcast about this therapist who controlled and manipulated his patients and even got one patient to sort of become his slave. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/the-shrink-next-door/ Makes you think twice and about going to see one. I use to think that for some...

Men should enjoy this funny video a lot (6min 43 sec) :) Women may want to post a similar video.

I just had my first appointment with a therapist. The main reason I started seeing one is cause Im looking for help with a variety of compulsive sexual behaviors that are negatively impact my life. But its only an hour a week and obviously we barely started talking and didnt really hit the...

Hello everyone, I’m new to nofap and as you may have gathered am 31. I’m also a Christian, husband, father, and therapist. I have been down this road many a time and thought I was much better off or worse at different points. Having repeated symptoms of porn addiction as mentioned in beginner’s...

You'll never guess where I went... Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA)! How the heck did I end up here? Well, I watched a great film a few months ago which I discovered right here on NoFap. "Thanks For Sharing" stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo- you know, the Hulk from Avengers. Except in this...

Hi All, I've been to psychiatrists to help for PMO at 17 and again for Alcohol/PMO at 24 and now for PMO and Overeating/Spending on Porn at 32 now. Communities like nofap and others have really given me the courage to speak out and seek help but addiction is the least understood of other issues...

Hello NoFap, I just registered, I guess its a step towards the only right direction. Im male, 22 years - Addicted to porn. Ive been in an open psychatry for all in all over 12 months (in multiple stays) to tackle Depression, Sleep escapatism and in my most recent stay there - sex/porn...

My therapist is moving away. I do not see her often, only once a month, but I do find those sessions valuable. I could keep seeing her over Skype or find a different local therapist for face-to-face sessions. Although I am very technical I am sceptical that Skype can offer the subtlety of...

This is me, more often then not... especially when he leaves for work, kids are in bed and I'm alone with my thoughts... What songs do you listen to when you're sad about all of this and feel alone?

so... we go couple therapy... but is it helping?? I dnt no... I dnt trust my husband... I dnt feel emotionally there to forgive or forget and I somehow feel I resent him... I dnt even no if I’m even in love with him like I use to be... and I dnt even no if I want to stay in this marriage... so...

I'm planning on seeing a sexologist in order to have guidance, support, and just a better understanding of how to overcome PIED, General/Performance Anxiety and overall improving my lifestyle and my habits. Has anyone ever gone down this route? Of seeing a professional on their personal sexual...

Was recommend by a family member to join a SAA group for my addiction, I didn't even know that such a thing existed for people with this struggle. Since then, I've been going to one for the past few weeks - I highly recommend it. Just search "Sex Addicts Anonymous" and click SAA-recovery to find...

So, last night I finished the Netflix series "13 Reasons Why" with my girlfriend. For those who are unfamiliar with the series, basically, a girl commits suicide and leaves behind tapes of why she did and who influenced her suicide. The last episode...

I am new. I have had lifelong mental health issues, most notable Chronic depression and ADHD. I often sought help and medication, but what I did not face up to was the porn problem. I had only recently shared with my therapist the degree that I was viewing porn, and how it slowly escalated to...

Personal question folks... I'm just curious but who's in therapy and what for? - if you are happy to discuss...

So I had an intake with a sex therapist, which left me a bit raw. I basically told the therapist my situation which is PIED and the whole batch of porn addiction related issues DE etc etc. She didn't comment if this was something she heard of before she was just taking notes. From the next one...
