SUMMARY:Sex and Porn Addiction: Understanding\, Impact and the Path to Healing
DESCRIPTION:Pornography has never been more accessible and its impact on our brains\, relationships and culture is profound. For some people\, it remains entertainment but for others it becomes an addition that rewires the brain\, destroys relational intimacy\, and fuels cycles of shame and secrecy. \nThe presentation offers a compassionate and research-based look at sex and porn addition. We will explore the neuroscience of how addiction works\, the psychological and relational consequences and the pathways to recovery. \nThe following key topics will be explored:\n· How sex and porn hijack the brains reward system \n· The cycle of compulsion\, tolerance\, and escalation \n· Emotional roots: trauma\, shame\, and self-medication \n· Impact on relationships intimacy and youth development \n· Effective recovery strategies: therapy\, community\, and brain rewiring \n· Ethical and cultural debate – where is the line between use and addiction \nThe presentation will seek to provide a deeper understanding of porn and sex addiction beyond the myths and provide tools for identifying when use becomes harmful. It will also give some practical strategies for healing and recovery within a compassionate framework which reduces shame. \nPresenting: Ruth Culhane\nI am a psychotherapist with specialist training in Psychosexual and Relationship issues who specialises in helping individuals and couples navigate challenges with intimacy\, sexual function pornography and compulsive sexual behaviour and relationship difficulties. My approach is client centred and integrative\, drawing from CBT\, systemic and relational modes. I am a registered member of COSRT and BACP. \nPlease note: This event is only available to qualified talking therapy professionals that hold a BACP\, BPS or similar membership. A CPD certificate will be issued after the event to all attendees.
