What Came First—His Emotional Disconnectedness or His Addiction?
Manage episode 400749649 series 2647105
In Episode 215, a PBSE listener asks some very-often-wondered-about questions regarding addiction and related mental, emotional and relational behaviors—
I’m wondering what comes first….the chicken or the egg? Do men who already have narcissistic tendencies (born or developed in childhood) gravitate to sex/porn addiction more frequently given their insecure nature and need for validation? Or, has excessive porn use led to an increase in narcissistic tendencies in men? Could this be one reason why some men are successful in recovery while others never find true recovery?
Mark and Steve get raw and real in addressing these questions and in seeking to correct some all-to-common misconceptions.
