05/16/2020 at 7:43 pmPaul i first saw you on youtube with Jimmy, Stef and Graham,( Bari Weiss). I just watched your video with Kati
Norton(2017). I donated $100 to the site, hope it helps.
My experience with my mother( Mother bond is gone forever unfortunately) is very much like yours. My adult experience is similar to yours too, drugs, alcohol and porn. The porn thing for me wasn’t, isn’t, about pleasure but trying to find something that l had lost. Every time i would look at it i just couldn’t find what i was looking for. And during a recent session with my therapist we discovered that i had lost the ability to experience shame. People who are in porn videos also have no shame so i found a connection as well as the trauma of being molested by a parent.
Finding shame is important for me to advance onto the next stage of my healing through EMDR therapy.
Thanks for the podcast Paul
God bless
