The Crazy Over 40s Life

Sex, Porn & Love Addiction: The Hidden Struggles Behind the Behaviour.

Porn, sex and love addiction aren’t always about pleasure. Sometimes, they’re about escaping emotional pain, coping with unresolved trauma, or trying to soothe feelings we don’t know how to manage

On this episode of The Crazy Over 40s Life Podcast, I’m joined by Gary McFarlane, founder and director of KarioCentre who brings more than 23 years in therapy. Specialising in sex, porn and love addiction, trauma, relationships and EMDR, Gary shares his insights into why compulsive patterns develop, how they can remain hidden for years, and what it takes to begin breaking the cycle.
