Sex Addiction and Your Brain: What You Need to Know👇🏻

You’re not out of control — your brain’s been hijacked.

When people hear “sex addiction,” they often imagine shame or labels. But this isn’t about judgment. It’s about what’s happening in your brain.

When your reward system is flooded by high-stimulation habits — like porn or compulsive sexual behaviors — dopamine circuits get overloaded. Over time, you need more stimulation just to feel less.

💔 That miswiring disconnects you from real intimacy, clear focus, and even your sense of self. But here’s the hopeful truth: Your brain can heal. With the right neuroscience tools — like qEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback — you can rewire those patterns and rebuild the connection you’ve been craving.

In this video, I break down what’s really going on inside your brain — and how you can reset it.

⚠️ If you’re in recovery, skip the full Jubilee debate for now. This series is designed to help you understand the science and safely move forward — without shame or setbacks.

đź«¶ Big thanks to Jubilee Media and LoveCommaNectar for sparking this important conversation.
