Tyson describes his own personal journey being addicted to and then healing from porn addiction and how that informs his work with men and couples today. He discusses the prevalence of porn, how it functions with technology and AI, and how many men use it to either up-regulate or down-regulate their nervous systems. Rather than moralizing porn and porn addiction, Tyson describes how to find healing and freedom through channeling real life force as well as advice for women who may have partners or sons addicted to, or exposed to, pornography.   Bio Tyson Adams is a trauma-informed IFS men's coach, somatic bodyworker and psychedelic facilitator. After spending 20 years addicted to pornography, he outgrew it ten years ago and has found his passion and purpose in helping other men master their lifeforce energy. He also co-facilitates men's work leadership intensives and works with couples experiencing intimacy challenges. When he's not working you'll catch him on a rock wall or riding a slackline in sunny San Diego.   What He Shares: \u2013His own addiction and healing from porn \u2013The normalization and prevalence of porn \u2013Porn and the nervous system \u2013Advice for women and mothers \u2013How to heal from porn addiction   What You\u2019ll Hear: \u2013Tyson\u2019s first introduction to porn at early age \u2013Boyhood innocence being fractured \u2013Secrecy, shame, and hiding with internet porn \u2013Joined fraternity in college \u2013Porn chairman in fraternity \u2013Normalization of porn and drinking \u201390 percent of porn has some form of violence \u2013A third of internet searches is porn \u2013Expecting partners to mimic porn content \u2013Normalization of extreme sexual behaviors from porn \u2013Highjacking nervous system \u2013No age verification  \u2013Comparing ourselves to AI models \u2013War on nervous system and spiritual warfare \u2013Installing browser blockers on children\u2019s devices \u2013Ages 8-9 typically first exposure to porn \u2013BARK.us Blocker and search tracker \u2013Importance of early conversations with children \u2013Importance of community in these conversations for men and boys \u2013Blind spot in mens\u2019 groups around sex and sexuality \u2013Inflation of power causing harm in mens\u2019 groups \u2013How and why Tyson ended porn addiction \u2013Psychedelic use with studying pornography \u2013Preys on trauma and normalizes behaviors  \u2013Men using porn to activate energy and nervous system regulation \u2013Women and porn addictions \u2013Seminal fluid as a life force \u2013Healthy number of ejaculation frequency  \u2013Not moralizing porn addiction \u2013Women blaming themselves for partner\u2019s porn addiction \u2013Seek therapy and trusted community help in partner\u2019s addiction \u2013Hope and healing is possible \u2013Open communication and repair \u2013Developing archetypes with sex worker \u2013One on one work and IFS sessions \u2013From thinking to feeling way to orgasm \u2013Nervous system resetting with clients \u2013Convergence of technology, porn, and psychedelics   Resources Tyson Adams' Website  IG: @tysonadams__   ","author_name":"Sex Birth Trauma with Kimberly Ann Johnson","author_url":"http:\/\/www.kimberlyannjohnson.com\/","html":"
