Anger and porn addiction—what do they have in common? At first, it might seem like the answer is nothing. But think about it: how many times have you been angry, and shortly afterward found yourself relapsing on porn? Or maybe you felt stressed or frustrated after a hard day at work, only to come home and slip up. Doesn’t the shame you feel after watching porn feel similar to the shame after losing your temper in a big fight?In this episode, I’m going to show you the connection between anger and porn addiction, uncover their root causes, and share one simple mental technique to overcome both.Anger and Porn Addiction Are Symptoms, Not the CauseWe often view anger as the problem.

They’re symptoms of something deeper.BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsSchedule a FREE CONSULTATIONIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramJoin My Email Newsletter$ Donate $MORE EPISODES Quit Porn Using IFS: A Powerful New Approach to Psychology & Addiction RecoveryHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 Steps8 Rules to Get You 3 Months Sober from PornStop Porn Cravings | 7 Tools to Overcome Fantasizing & Lust HabitsTrauma, Attachment, Shame & Porn AddictionThe Porn Addiction Funnel: How To Break Porn AddictionMusic I use: BensoundLicense code: HPZPNS0IYE62IRVJSupport the showNo More Desire
