the porn trap I'm Dr Trish Lee and I'm here to describe to you how porn traps you how you're
able to get trapped and most importantly how you can free yourself from the trap of porn so
stay with me till the end so I can give you your brain hack strategy for the day all right let's
dig in so how in fact does porn trap you now if you've been caught up in a pornography habit for
any amount of time you know that that habit started when you were young likely it started
in adolescence or in your early teen years so at that point in your life your brain is much more
neuroplastic and impressionable and so you find this thing that makes your brain feel better than
ever what porn does is it creates this dopamine Deluge a flood of dopamine into your system and
it makes you feel better than you've ever felt before especially at that young age and so what
happens is especially if your life is difficult if there's trauma if there's family dysfunction
which just about everybody has your world can be difficult and then you find this thing that gives
you this drug-like feeling and takes you away from the difficulties of your real life that's how porn
traps you in the first place so what it does is it drips dopamine into your brain and then it
gives it this dopamine Deluge unfortunately what it does is it plants the seeds of addiction at
that point and it makes it so there's a dopamine deficit in your life from that point forward what
I mean by that is your brain gets taught that all the feel-good feelings from dopamine are in the
screen in porn and that there's no good feelings out there in the real world where it may have been
challenging in the first place so it creates a feedback loop a never-ending vicious cycle cycle
that keeps you stuck in porn trap kept in porn it creates dopamine deficit in your world drips when
you think about watching porn that make you start to feel good the Deluge that takes you away from
the reality the drowning in dopamine where you're so flooded with it that you don't even think about
your real world anymore until unfortunately when you've been out of the screen that deficit creeps
back in and your life stinks and it's all created by the Trap now if you've ever seen Percy Jackson
if you remember the scene what a great movie right Percy Jackson I hear they're remaking it for the
next gen as they should because it's such a good movie but there's a scene when Percy and his
friends are in a casino and they're eating lotus flowers and it keeps them stuck in the casino and
it's got them distracted from their mission and their purpose and it has them feeling good until
Percy figures out that if they keep eating the lotus flowers that it will keep them stuck in
this vicious Loop and he has to figure it out and then commit to not eating the lotus flower
so that he can move on out of that scene into becoming the hero of his own journey and solving
the issues at hand and creating the life that he wants to so of course this is exactly what I want
for you you're eating the lotus flowers my friend I know it feels okay it feels great in the moment
and you might even have a notion that this is keeping you stuck in this never-ending Casino
all night long Loop and it's time to leave the casino it's time to stop eating the lotus
flowers and it's time to get on purpose in your real life because as Percy discovers and you'll
discover yeah it might be tricky leaving that casino and getting back into the real world but
it's worth it living an authentic life being you the real you the one that you want to be finding
intimacy and love and healthy awesome funky sex in the real world that's what life is about not
being a fourth wall Observer watching a fake performance to give your brain this unhealthy
flood and drowning of dopamine that in fact is damaging your brain and ruining your life
alright that's how porn traps you how is it that you can get trapped this is number two today
you're young your brain is pliable the first time you've seen porn life is difficult if you
struggle with ADHD if you have trauma if you have anxiety that brain is existing out here in what I
call the pendulum effect it's the perfect brain pattern that wants the dopamine wants it bad so
when you get it it feels even better to you and especially when you're young your brain wants that
it wants to feel good so most people upon first exposure and especially in today's day and age
with high-speed internet pornography their brains get hooked the porn industry is not blind to this
this is how they are feeding their multi-billion dollar industry by getting people hooked and
keeping them hooked that is a solid business strategy but unfortunately it's harming you so
let's move to number three how do you get out of the Trap you've got to stop being eating the
lotus flowers you have to create a strong plan to stay out of the screen and a strong plan to find
dopamine the feel good the pleasure neurochemical but also serotonin the happiness neurochemical and
oxytocin the connection neurochemical find that in the world and you won't need to go back into
the screen in today's day and age so many of us have inauthentic living we don't even know what
we want anymore never mind how to go get it so figuring out who you really are who the people
are that are important in your world and how you can create the life that you love so you
won't have to escape from it that's the secret sauce so you can stay out of the screen forever
