Dr. Trish Leigh Podcast

I was hooked and bound to pornography for 23 years but after listening to this podcast and being able to identify that pornography has damaged my mind. I immediately took action to unwire, Rewire, and hardwire my mind to my passions. I put in the work to set up defenses and offenses now I’m living a porn free life that allows me to serve God with a renewed mind!! This works if you put in the work All glory to God!!

I was stuck in a porn addiction for decades. My craving began with magazines and VHS tapes. I was lucky to free myself from compulsive use of porn. But it wasn’t Dr Leigh that helped. It seems rational that a neuroscientist would be able to help explain addicted neural pathways and how to rewire a brain, but after researching so much neuroscience, like what Dr Leigh provides, I would still relapse. Why? Having a neuroscientist help you with addiction is like having a mechanic teach you how to drive a car. Just because they know a lot about the internal mechanisms doesn’t mean they can clearly teach you how to control it. Dr Leigh might teach you a lot about the fascinating mechanics of the brain. But notice how she doesn’t offer a clear, concise method for how to control your craving for porn. No matter how much you learn, those urges are still going to strike. What then? How will your knowledge of the prefrontal cortex, the amygdala or details of neurotransmitters help you then? It’s at that moment when you need a method for dealing with the urges. What freed me was discovering the Beyond Compulsion Academy. It was there that I learned how to rewire my addicted neural pathways for good. I strongly encourage you to check it out.

This doctor openly aligns with the ultra-right agenda in this country: endorsing harmful ideas like ethnic cleansing, homophobia, misogyny (particularly toward Black women), defunding public education, and even excusing predators. She posted her support for a far-right figure but quickly deleted it once she realized it could damage her brand. For some, that may only boost her appeal — your mileage may vary. Still, it’s worth noting that nearly everything she says on her show stands in direct contradiction to the very systems of abuse and oppression she props up.

Good stuff
