Breaking the Silence

How Can Pornography Be Both a Problem and a Symptom? with Dr. Adam Moore [39]

Listen Later

When searching for a solution to overcome pornography, try looking at the big picture and expect the process to take time. Creed and Crishelle explore this idea with Dr. Adam Moore as they discuss how to approach recovery from two perspectives: that using pornography causes problems in peoples’ lives and relationships, and is also a symptom of an underlying issue. Coming from both angles can offer the boost for lasting change.

Dr. Adam M. Moore is a licensed marriage and family therapist and co-owner of Sela Health, which operates mental health counseling offices in Utah and Nevada.

In this episode:

  • Recovery is complicated and there is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
  • Anything that matters is worth putting effort into.
  • Oversimplifying addiction recovery is detrimental to those experiencing it.
  • Getting feedback from a therapist or family member can give you better insight on your progress.
  • The amazing space shuttle analogy for getting velocity in early recovery
