Inpatient Porn Addiction Treatment Facility Desert Solace Explains ‘The Law Of Nonresistance’

Jerri Jorgenesn, co-founder and family liaison at inpatient porn addiction treatment facility Desert Solace, explained how ‘letting go’ can help clients move toward recovery.

Pornography addiction, much like other substance and behavioral addictions, often covers up trauma stemming from stress and unresolved negative emotions, Jorgensen explained.

People experiencing pornography addiction may be trying “to avoid, to escape, to numb the pain,” she said. When they start feeling shame, pain or guilt, people suffering from addiction turn to their substance or behavior of choice as a maladaptive coping mechanism to help them avoid their emotions.

Jorgensen said that for those experiencing sex and pornography addiction, shame plays more of a role than in many other types of addiction.

When those struggling with pornography addiction try to “resist” their pornogrpahy habits by telling themselves that they are doing something “bad” that they “mustn’t” do, Jorgensen said these messages they’re telling themselves can feed into an “addictive cycle.”

Jorgensen explained that when those who are addicted engage with pornography, they often “feel like a piece of crap again because they’ve acted out.”

“The pain comes in again. What do they do to relieve the pain? Act out again,” Jorgensen said. “That’s what we call the addictive cycle.”

Rather than using negative self-talk to try to avoid their addictions, Jorgensen suggests thinking of pornography use as just one of numerous available options to help them cope with pain.

“We recognize that (the addiction) is there,” Jorgensen said. “It’s not that we run to it. But if we realize it’s there, and we go, ‘Huh, this is an option for me. I can definitely do that. But if that’s an option, so is this (other, more healthy behavior).’”

Desert Solace seeks to teach clients healthy coping mechanisms and ways to discuss their pain with others without feeling shame. In doing so, they aim to tackle addiction at its roots — the underlying desire to escape from negative emotions — and set a strong foundation for recovery.

“When we let go of that resistance, our world opens up, and we have options,” Jorgensen said. “We live in the world of possibilities. And sometimes we just get this tunnel vision that we think it has to look a certain way. Our lives don’t have to look any certain way.”

By allowing themselves to build self-esteem without having to live up to images of perfection or some imagined “correct” version of themselves, Desert Solace aims to instill lifelong skills to help clients from needing addictive substances and behavior to cope with daily life.

“The days of isolating are over,” Jorgensen said. “Reach out for help … let’s move forward and the past is the past.”
