burn your bridges to quit porn for good I'm dr Trish Leigh let me tell you what I mean by that
in this Monday motivation okay so the story of burning bridges is one of moving forward in one's
journey or having the opportunity to retreat when it comes to leaving this habit behind that we know
is sucking you into the screen creating anxiety depression moodiness that whole dr Jekyll and
Mr hyde where the people in your world don't know which version of you they're going to get erectile
dysfunction difficulty being intimate with people in your life because it no longer is doing it for
you because your arousal template has been changed and modified because your mid brain has been
desensitized now how are you going to stay the course when the screen has served you for so long
now I know this can be scary and difficult I talk to so many people that tell me, I can't believe i
have to give this up forever because it's really helped me out one day at a time is the strategy
but here's the technique you have to burn the bridges you have to make it so you can't go back
so we know you can put fences up in terms of blockers but here's a really strong tip for you
that makes it so that you can get to the point of being 100 committed because getting to that
commitment point is usually the most difficult part, when you get, rid of your stash you delete
everything out of your cloud anything off your hard drive any pictures or images that you've
saved in your personal stash this tells yourself that you are one hundred percent committed
to moving forward in this journey you've burnt the bridge you've gotten rid of access of going back
usually when you have personal images or videos especially if it's videos that you've made with
people in your past or pictures of people from your past it has an emotional component to it
and it can be really difficult for people and i understand that i understand it can
be scary because of the commitment that you're making but it's so freeing once you've done it
it will literally unlock your brain so you can move forward with this journey that you're
committing to and if you've seen the video that i made on the three stages of porn brain reboot
and these are the three stages of recovery stage number one which is usually the longest for people
is getting to the point of being completely committed because once you're committed
it's much easier to develop the discipline and the willpower and the resilience that you're going to
need to be successful but getting to that point can be the hardest point burning the bridge so
there's literally no way back to that personal stash is one way that you can tell yourself
i'm really committed to this journey and at the same time you're telling the hijacker no way man
i'm not going back i'm committed to this thing i'm going to move forward i'm going to become
the best version of myself i'm going to heal my frontal lobe i'm going to re-sensitize
the mid brain the reward center in there so that i can feel pleasure and happiness in my life and
in sexual experiences in the real world you won't need to go back to the screen because your brain
will heal it won't need it but at this point i know it's scary and i know it's difficult but i
know it's freeing so when you decide that you're going to leave those images and videos of the
past behind you can do it in a ceremonious way you can thank them for serving you in the past
because they really have served a need in your brain that need for your brain to be
calmed down and stimulated at the same time likely there's an emotional component it made you feel
wanted the thoughts of those videos made you feel desired it made you feel powerful
it made you feel in control but you can thank those videos for filling those voids for you
but you're not going to have those voids anymore you're moving forward you're going
to fill those holes by yourself you're going to become healed you're going to heal your brain
you're going to heal those wounds inside so that moving forward you won't need anything to calm
and stimulate your brain because it's going to be using perfect processing speed in the middle so
that you can get on purpose in your life and you can feel happy and you can feel pleasure at the
just right amount the perfect amount so that you are connected to the world not isolating yourself
and that can be your journey for the rest of your life but you gotta commit burn the bridge ditch it
all don't save one thing when you try to save one thing because it's like a jewel or a gem to you
that's the hijacker saving it not you think of it that way that hijacker wants you to save one thing
to leave that one percent open in your commitment so that you can falter so that you can slip when
you get rid of everything it's literally a hundred percent commitment and that's what's necessary for
you to succeed and i know you can do it i know if you want it this journey can be taken and it gets
easier and easier and easier with every step you know what they say right the first step to
anything is the most challenging so this can be a really great first step in your commitment thank
the screen in your stash for what they've served in the past let them know you no longer need it
because you're on your way to your full potential all right if you want help on that journey
