Destructive Desires: The Porn Pandemic is Eating Minds w/ Powerful Eric
~11% of men are addicted to porn (+3% of women). You know a LOT of porn addicts.
Today's episode discusses:
Why is porn addiction not discussed openly?
Why is it so shameful to talk about?
Why is the problem only getting worse?
How do we create better systems for recovery?
On the show, we have Eric Zusack (Powerful Eic) a porn addiction coach. He spent 20 years in therapy for his own porn addiction. He finally recovered by breaking out of the disease model of addiction and instead taking ownership of his own power.
We discuss the many ways porn is harming society and getting worse and what to do about it.
