Sex and Porn Addiction: Understanding, Impact and the Path to Healing
2025-11-28 10:00 - 12:00 | The Eaves, 2 Maritime House, Farnham, GU9 7HW, The Eaves, 2 Maritime House, The Hart, Farnham, GU9 7HW, United Kingdom
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.
The 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.
The following key topics will be explored:
· How sex and porn hijack the brains reward system
· The cycle of compulsion, tolerance, and escalation
· Emotional roots: trauma, shame, and self-medication
· Impact on relationships intimacy and youth development
· Effective recovery strategies: therapy, community, and brain rewiring
· Ethical and cultural debate – where is the line between use and addiction
The 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.
Presenting: Ruth Culhane

2026-01-21 13:00 - 15:00 | The Eaves, 2 Maritime House, The Hart, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7HW
ADHD is often stereotyped as a childhood condition seen primarily in boys, however, many women reach adulthood without recognition of their symptoms. Instead, they are frequently mislabelled with anxiety, depression or stress-related disorders, leaving the true underlying cause unaddressed.
The following key topics will be explored:
This CPD will unpack how ADHD can present differently in women, with symptoms that are typically more internalised, including:

Emotional overwhelm
Chronic disorganisation
Perfectionism
Inattentiveness
Masking
Persistent feelings of underachievement

We will also explore how hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause can significantly influence ADHD symptoms, affecting dopamine regulation, executive function and emotional stability.
In this CPD we will examine the neuroscience behind ADHD, the unique challenges women face in getting a diagnosis and the evidence-based treatment options available, including medical, psychological and lifestyle approaches. We will discuss how women can harness their strengths, build strategies that work with their brains and access the right support.
