    I too , like many people on these episodes, discovered porn at way too young of an age. Decades later I am still processing what that content has done to my brain, my relationships and my sexuality. However I do believe there is hope and the first step comes with recognizing this is a problem. This podcast is a source of information and compassion for those who have been victimized and also those who have hurt but want do better moving forward. Thank you for your work, thank you for these interv... more

    Such a great episode. Love the discussion around how one of the worst parts of betrayal trauma is the madness of the intrusive thoughts and how you question yourself the barrage of self doubt and thinking you’re the issue. 😥 I also love the part about coming back to your body and more full self and rediscovering what brings you joy. Bessel Van Der Kolk says “Remember to remember”, and I think that’s key. 💛

  • Great podcast for a very widespread and important issue

    Almost everyone encounters pornography these days. And porn warps our sense of humanity for each other, our understanding of what is a healthy relationship, gives us cycles of shame and bad feelings about ourselves and false perceptions of what is important in another human in almost every situation and encounter we have in life.

    Fight the new drug is a great antidote and educational resource for all of this. It gives us info on how immediately and ultimately abusive porn is to ourselves and t... more
