Episode #169: How Social Media is Worsening Your Porn Addiction — Dr. Trish Leigh

Why is it so hard to stop scrolling… and even harder to stop watching porn? 🚨

Social media and pornography are both designed to hijack your brain’s reward system. In this episode, Dr. Trish Leigh breaks down how social media platforms are filled with sexualized content and rapid-fire dopamine hits that condition your brain for addiction. The same neurochemical patterns that make porn addictive are activated every time you swipe, like, or double tap 👀

Over time, this constant stimulation can lead to mental fog, anxiety, depression, and sexual dysfunction — all while making it harder and harder to feel pleasure naturally. If you’re caught in a cycle of social media use, porn, and emotional disconnection, you’re not alone — and your brain can heal 🙌🏼
