Fetish from young age (not porn acquired)

From what I know, you have to find the root cause and understand why you have it. By allowing memories to resurface and questioning them, that way you can slowly "dismantle" it. I have the same issue.

 

CBT therapy, hypnotherapy and psilocybin really helps me.

 

Hi I got some CBT therapy that was referred by my doctor for ptsd. It was only 10 sessions but it was very helpful. I found having diagrams being used a good way of explaining and for me taking it in. I’ve also done a lot of compassion based therapy with a clinical psychologist. I will try and attach some of the material given.

Sometimes just writing down thoughts, feelings and behaviours that you notice around the time of an urge can help you to find a space to analyse the behaviour , to increase our options for choice,

There’s a good sex addiction expert called Paula Hall who talks about questioning our cognitive distortions. I found this approach to work great through Alan Carrs easy way to stop smoking.

And we’re talking 15-20 years cig free now. Sex is more difficult to me but the more tools we have the better. There’s a book similar Quit Porn Easily which is similar.

 

Im not sure where you can get them I was given a load that were picked locally. I’d tired having random sessions on them and got some insight. But have been informed they work best microdosing about 0.3-0.5 of a gram every 3 days. I feel my brain absorbs the therapy a lot easier and am able to meditate well too. They’re not the silver bullet that’s going to cure you but they’re a handy tool to re earth you I find. I’m not sure which country you are in but kits can be brought online to do your own. Viking spors or Zamnesia are good I’ve heard.
