Book excerpt: Pornography use appears to be associated with many psychosocial problems for a subset of pornography users. Previous research indicates constructs such as experiential avoidance and shame-proneness may be related to pornography use. Research also suggests that self-compassion may be helpful in decreasing experiential avoidance, shame, and other predictors of problematic pornography use. To date, no research has been done examining self-compassion in pornography users. This may be an important construct to study in this population because the way people treat themselves during difficult times may be associated with the development of problematic pornography viewing patterns and negative outcomes related to their pornography use (e.g., problems in relationships with family and friends, occupational problems, legal problems). This study examined the correlation between the frequency of pornography use and self-compassion. The results suggested there was a significant but weak negative correlation between weekly frequency of pornography use and total self-compassion. Regarding the subscales, there were statistically significant weak negative correlations between frequency of pornography use and all three of the positive subscales: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. There were also weak but statistically significant positive correlations between frequency of pornography use and two of the negative self-compassion subscales: self-judgment and over-identification. It was hypothesized that self-compassion would moderate the relationship between frequency of pornography use and negative consequences of sexual behavior that pornography users experience; however, the results indicated there is no interaction between frequency of use and self-compassion. This research also hypothesized that the function of pornography use would also moderate this relationship. The results indicated that there was no interaction between frequency of use and self-compassion or between frequency of use and sexual curiosity or emotional avoidance. There was a statistically significant interaction between frequency of use and excitement seeking as well as between frequency of use and sexual pleasure.

Book excerpt: How to Overcome Pornography Addiction: Obtaining Freedom, Becoming Pure In today's digital age, the battle against pornography addiction is one that many Christians face, often in silence and shame. This pervasive issue can undermine a person's spiritual walk, relationships, and sense of self-worth, creating a cycle of guilt and despair that seems impossible to break. Yet, the message of the Gospel is clear: there is hope, healing, and freedom available in Christ. How to Overcome Pornography Addiction: Obtaining Freedom, Becoming Pure is a guide for Christians seeking to break free from the chains of pornography and reclaim their God-given purity. This book is grounded in the truth of Scripture, offering a path to recovery that is centered on the transformative power of God's grace and the renewing of the mind. Through biblical teachings, practical steps, and personal reflections, this book addresses the root causes of addiction, helping readers understand the spiritual and emotional factors that contribute to their struggles. It provides tools for developing accountability, fostering spiritual growth, and cultivating a deeper relationship with God, who alone can bring true and lasting freedom. This journey is not just about quitting a harmful habit; it's about being restored to the fullness of life that God intends for each of His children. It's about embracing a new identity in Christ, where purity is not just a goal, but a reflection of a heart that is aligned with God's will. Whether you are personally battling pornography addiction or walking alongside someone who is, this book offers hope and encouragement. It reminds readers that no matter how deep the struggle, God's love is deeper still, and His power to redeem and restore is limitless. In Christ, freedom is not only possible—it is promised.

Download or read book Conquering Shame and Codependency written by Darlene Lancer and published by Hazelden Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nationally recognized author and codependency expert examines the roots of shame and its connection with codependent relationships. Learn how to heal from their destructive hold by implementing eight steps that will empower the real you, and lead to healthier relationships. Shame: the torment you feel when you’re exposed, humiliated, or rejected; the feeling of not being good enough. It’s a deeply painful and universal emotion, yet is not frequently discussed. For some, shame lurks in the unconscious, undermining self-esteem, destroying confidence, and leading to codependency. These codependent relationships—where we overlook our own needs and desires as we try to care for, protect, or please another—often cover up abuse, addiction, or other harmful behaviors. Shame and codependency feed off one another, making us feel stuck, never able to let go, move on, and become the true self we were meant to be. In Conquering Shame and Codependency, Darlene Lancer sheds new light on shame: how codependents’ feelings and beliefs about shame affect their identity, their behavior, and how shame can corrode relationships, destroying trust and love. She then provides eight steps to heal from shame, learn to love yourself, and develop healthy relationships.
Download or read book Understanding the Processes and Outcomes of the LDS Addiction Recovery Program s Pornography Addiction Support Group written by Adam Michael Scalese and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study qualitatively investigated the processes and outcomes associated with the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' (LDS) Addiction Recovery Program (ARP), with a specific focus on their Pornography Addiction Support Group (PASG) meetings. Researchers interviewed 24 (21 males, 3 females) individuals with varying experiences in PASG meetings. Their interview content was broken down into themes. Primary findings suggest that PASG participants experience a significant amount of shame due to their pornography use behaviors. Member-to-member sharing in meetings facilitates self-compassion and lessens shame. Participants reported strong spiritual process in PASG meetings and some spiritual outcomes. Attendance in PASG meetings impacts the way participants viewed their treatment conceptualization, problematic pornography use (PPU) behaviors, self, and God. Further, negative aspects of PASG meetings include the use of an addiction model, a focus on PPU behaviors, and some shaming experiences.

Book excerpt: We all carry sexual shame. Whether we grew up in the repressive purity culture of American Evangelical Christianity or not, we've all been taught in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that sex (outside of very specific contexts) is immoral and taboo. Psychotherapist Matthias Roberts helps readers overcome their shame around sex by overcoming three unhealthy coping mechanisms we use to manage that shame. Beyond Shame encourages each of us to determine our own definition of healthy sex, while avoiding the ditches of boundaryless sex positivity on the one hand and strict moralistic boundaries on the other. Define your sexual values on your own terms, overcome your shame, and start having great, healthy sex.
