Tip #1 For Strong Mental Health

There is a deep need right now for all of us to be put in more effort and time and doing personal check-ins, for our own mental health.

When our mental health is strong, the events going on around us will have minimal damage to our self-confidence, self-esteem, health, relationships, and more.

But with the pandemic, there’s so much that’s out of our control that if we don’t realize there are things that we need to learn how to just accept, or to moderately workaround, we will continue to go downhill in regards to our mental energy, health, motivation and more.

So Tip #1 is really simple. I want you to create a list right now of all the things that are stressing you out, creating anxiety or depression, and then next to each one of these triggers that can be terrible for our mental health, I just want you to write the words, “in control“, or “out of my control“.

So if you’re incredibly stressed over the recent election you would write down… “Is my stress over the recent election in my control or out of my control?“

I think most of the average individuals in the world would say the end result of this election now is out of our control so it might be a good idea to start to practice release techniques to not continue to talk about something with friends or family members or neighbors that is out of your control if it creates a deep emotional response. On the other hand, maybe you’re reacting to stress with emotional eating, which is totally in your control.

While it’s not easy to break this habit, by working with a professional you can easily do that in a short period of time… But trying to break any dependency or habit on our own can be very difficult and sometimes it’s just a waste of our time.

Take advantage of the tips were going to give you, and if you’d like to get one on one attention from me to help shatter any type of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, etc., reach out to me at http://www.David Essel.com and let’s do some great work together, regardless of where you live in the world.

Sex and/or Porn Addiction?

By David Essel • June 3, 2024

Even though I’ve been in this industry counseling people on sex, addiction, and porn addiction for 45 years, we have never seen the increase of these two addictions, and they can be quite different, that we’ve seen over the past five years. Porn addiction hijacks the brain, and it makes it very difficult to stay in any type of a committed relationship, because individuals become so used to the constant variety and changing of the different fetishes as well as body types and experiences that the Internet offers up even for free! SEX Addiction, when we’re talking about an individual that must have multiple partners, or someone that even forces their partner to have sex more than maybe the partner wants, it can be a completely different ball game in regard to treatment and recovery. And that’s because of the emotional involvement that many people get into when they have a sex addiction with real people, where that doesn’t happen as frequently if someone is addicted to porn, they may like certain porn actors or actresses, but they don’t create an emotional bond. But as I mentioned above, porn, addiction is nothing to take simple or easy, I have multiple clients right now in their late 20s that started their porn addiction at the age of 10 and even though they have wonderful partners they can’t have sex on a regular basis because they cannot keep an erection due to their craving for variety versus just being with one person. Every Addiction, we treat in a very similar way which might sound surprising, even our new book on permanent alcohol and life recovery, we use most of that information in that book with people who are addicted to sex or porn or food or social media or video games… I think you get the idea so many addictions when we get into treatment are treated in a very similar fashion. First we find the origin of the addiction, which means when did it start, why did it start, how did it start, and how long has it been going on? And we treat the whole person not just the Addiction part of it, because we want the whole person to gain that self-confidence back and self-love, which we lose when we’re involved with any addiction whatsoever. If you’re struggling with porn or sex addiction, go ahead and look at our permanent addiction, recovery page, study deeply study this page and that should give you some good ideas and how we approach all addictions. In 2024, the top addictions that we are working with of course are sex and porn, food, alcohol, pot and social media addiction. The addictions continue to rise in this country and until we get to the origin, which we do our practice, and then add solution steps, so people will not cross addict, or relapse, we have answers for everything. Here is a quote from a woman that I worked with several years ago who never thought she’d be able to break her sex and porn addiction as she was struggling with both. "David shared with me information that was so deep, I had no idea the difference between the porn addiction I had or the addiction I had with phone sex, or with men in general. It was a way for me to escape reality, my work demands a lot of hours, and I was using my sex and porn addiction as a way to give myself a break, sort of like a reward for all the hours I worked. However, it almost cost me my job as I started showing up late on a regular basis because I wanted to get one more orgasm at home before I left for work .” She is now free of both addictions and has been for over 15 years after going through our program. I know you’ll find the same success regardless of what type of sex or porn addiction you’re struggling with right now. Never give up! I will be by your side showing you the way, to complete freedom.
