Overcome Pornography for Good with Sara Brewer | ADHD and Porn Use with Kersti Spjut

Episode 190: ADHD and Porn Use with Kersti Spjut

September 02, 20242 min read

Have you ever wondered how ADHD might be impacting your relationship with pornography? If you or someone you love is struggling to quit viewing pornography and also has ADHD, this episode is a must-listen.

This week, I’m joined by Dr. Kersti Spjut, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in sexual health and perfectionism. With years of experience running programs at BYU for people conflicted about their porn use, she brings a wealth of knowledge and practical strategies to help navigate the unique challenges that come with having ADHD while trying to change sexual behaviors.

Tune in this week as Kersti dives deep into the connection between ADHD and porn use. She offers her insights on the shame and stigma surrounding ADHD, why those with ADHD may be more drawn to the ‘stickiness’ of porn, and her top recommendations of interventions that have helped people with ADHD manage their porn use.

My brand-new live class, The New Revolutionary Way to Quit Viewing Porn, starts September 19th 2024. This process has changed lots of lives quickly and has been called revolutionary by many people. Stay tuned for information on how to register!
