When you are stressed your brain releases Cortisol. Cortisol can make you feel tense, on edge and eager to soothe yourself by ‘acting out’ either by compulsive behaviours or by watching pornography. Unfortunately acting out merely increases the levels of shame you feel, which then leads to more acting out, and the cycle continues.

 

As a remedy to this destructive cycle, we offer you access to our online mindfulness course as part of your treatment plan.

 

Over the course of eight weeks, you will learn how to reconnect with your breath, with your body and with your life. It has been proven to reduce stress, lower anxiety, improve sleep and lift our mood.

 

Used in conjunction with the other tools David will give you, you can expect to see a reduction in your cortisol levels and your brain will be retrained to manage stress more effectively.

 

We can’t take your stress away, but we can equip you with the tools you need to manage it better.
