138. The Addiction People Are Too Scared To Talk About (Part 2) Ft. Jessica Jordan

A Word To The Wise

On the show today is Jessica Jordan. Jessica is a former wildlife biologist turned expert in overcoming sex-related addictions. Following a traumatic incident that resulted in brain damage in 2016, Jessica developed PTSD and Hyper-sexuality Disorder, commonly known as sex addiction. Drawing from her own journey of healing, she now offers a comprehensive recovery program focused on trauma healing and porn addiction recovery.

In our discussion, we delve into Jessica's personal battle with sex addiction, her experiences dating someone with a similar struggle, and her unique approach to helping men break free from porn addiction. Additionally, we explore the impact of childhood trauma on addiction recovery and Jessica's innovative "3Ds to recovery" method.

We go deep into how sex and porn addiction affect relationships, self-esteem, and brain function. Exploring the roles of dopamine and oxytocin, we see how early experiences shape future behaviors. With Jessica's guidance, we tackle the tough path to recovery, drawing insights from experts like Dr. Gabor Maté, who emphasize the importance of addressing emotional wounds for true healing.

As we wrap up, we consider how societal and family influences can fuel hypersexual behavior, and we discuss the role of spirituality in recovery.
By shedding light on the widespread issue of porn and sex addiction, especially among men, our aim is to provide listeners with valuable insights, resources, and hope for their own journey towards recovery.
