In this episode of Tenaciously Human Podcast, we have Clay Olsen. He is a Christian, soon-to-be father of four, and the CEO and founder of Impact Suite, an award-winning self-care app that has been helping thousands of people. He is here to talk about how he started making an impact in helping people recover from addiction, and becoming a part of the journey of healing and recovery for many people. Sneak Peek: 14:27 You started this, this movement to talk about [pornography] when did it transition into not only talking about it, but helping people to recover from this? 15:49 There was no good solution. And so we decided, We need to make it free. And so all these other groups that we love and still, support and encourage people to get professional support if they need it. 19:40 It was free for youth and it still is free for youth and it will always be free for youth. So young people don't pay for premium access to the tools.20:16 That's incredible because as I reflect back on my life and my struggle with addiction, my struggle with mental health, all those sorts of things. The tools that I know now as an adult, would've been immensely valuable to me as a teenager. 29:00 I've chosen a career path that is very purpose driven in everything. I have a lot on my plateI find a lot of purpose at work and not everyone does. I get that, but even if you do or don't at work, it's important to find the purpose at home as well.40:40 If I could scream one message from the mountaintops on this topic, addiction. Recovery is that there needs to be a paradigm shift in the way that we think and talk about mental health because there's one that is not only more true but far more hopeful for individuals as they hear a message that tells them, that they can heal and they can reach lasting recovery and healing it doesn't have to be permanent.Learn more about him: linkedin.com/in/clayolsenWant to be on the show?

Aaron Crowley was accidentally exposed to porn at the young age of nine when he walked in on his older brother and his friends looking at it together. From there, Aaron's porn consumption escalated while it perpetuated false expectations about sex and normalized sexual objectification. While in college, Aaron experienced drug-facilitated sexual assault, and he was exploited and re-victimized when the perpetrator shared nonconsensual photos of the assault online. His abuse triggered trauma-induced hypersexuality and he says it paved the way for his eventual career as a porn performer. In this episode, host Garrett Jonsson and Aaron discuss how he entered and exited the porn industry, how it negatively impacted him, and what his life looks like today.Click here to learn more about the guest, and access the resources discussed in this episode.To learn more about the harms of pornography on consumers, relationships, and its larger societal impacts, visit FTND.org.To support this podcast, click here.As you go about your day we invite you to increase your self-awareness, look both ways, check your blindspots, and consider before consuming.Fight the New Drug collaborates with a variety of qualified organizations and individuals with varying personal beliefs, affiliations, and political persuasions.

Barbi is a loving mother to five kids and is happily married to her husband of twenty years. When Barbi was six-years-old, she was exposed to pornography by an uncle. She didn’t understand what it was, but she knew how it made her feel and she quickly understood what it would lead to, which was him sexually abusing her. Barbi didn’t fully recognize the connection that pornography played in the sexual abuse during her childhood until a guest speaker talked to her class when she was in high school. After that, she disclosed her abuse to a trusted teacher, who then informed Barbi’s parents about the abuse. Fortunately, Barbi’s parents believed her and were able to go to law enforcement and her abuser was later convicted in court. Learn how pornography played a role in Barbi’s childhood abuse and what she’s doing now to invest in her healing and make her home a safe place for others.Click here to learn more about the guest, and access the resources discussed in this episode.To learn more about the harms of pornography on consumers, relationships, and its larger societal impacts, visit FTND.org.To support this podcast, click here or text CONSIDER to 43506.As you go about your day we invite you to increase your self-awareness, look both ways, check your blindspots, and consider before consuming.

His investigative opinion column published on December 4, 2020, titled, “The Children of Pornhub,” shocked and educated many people around the world because it gave visibility to the stories of victims of image-based sexual abuse and child sexual abuse material who have had their violation shared on porn sites and social media platforms. The outcry in response to the article resulted in porn giant Pornhub purging their platform of unverified videos, deleting over 10 million videos from the site—but the battle won't end there. Kristof’s coverage of these issues continues the work of many journalists, advocates, and survivors in uncovering the dark side of the internet that most people do not want to think about, and exposes the implications of directly and indirectly supporting porn sites with user-uploaded content.Listen to podcast host Garrett Jonsson talk with Nicholas about the ugly side of the porn industry, what has happened since Nicholas Kristof’s bold opinion columns were published, and what he expects he’ll do to continue to uncover the world of sexual exploitation.Note: We are grateful that Nicholas Kristof took time out of his busy schedule to speak with us and give our listeners more insight into this topic.

Trigger warning: Graphic descriptions of sex acts and porn videos are discussed during this conversation.Sebastian is a Fighter from Madrid, Spain, who has been struggling with pornography from a young age. He was eight when he was first exposed to porn when he and his friends searched for it out of curiosity, and by the time he was 12 years old, it became a compulsive habit that escalated into more hardcore genres. Sebastian discovered that he was struggling to perform sexually with partners in real life without porn, so he started to research how pornography affects the brain and sexual performance. In this episode, Sebastian talks about how he’s tried to break free from pornography several times and how he’s still actively working to break free completely. Listen to Sebastian give his honest (and, at times, triggering) account of how porn has negatively impacted him, and how understanding the research on its negative effects and the industry's ties to sex trafficking has helped in his ongoing battle to quit porn for good.If you or a loved one is struggling to break free from porn, you’re not alone.

Listener discretion is advised.Like most adolescents in the world today, Gabe was exposed to hardcore porn well before the age of 18. What started as a habit driven by curiosity and a growing normalized culture around porn spiraled into a full-blown compulsive habit. Without expecting any sort of negative effects in his relationships as a result of his years-long porn habit, as a twenty-something, he started having trouble getting and maintaining an erection in real-life sexual encounters. Looking for answers, he found thousands of other young guys in online forums talking about the exact same issues he was having. Inspired to make a difference, change the conversation, and remove shame and secrecy among young people who struggled with porn and its proven negative effects, Gabe started Reboot Nation. It’s a site where anyone can go and join a supportive community while they “reboot” their brains and regain optimal sexual health by ditching porn for good. Listen to Gabe tell podcast host, Garrett Jonsson, about how pornography impacted his ability to be intimate with partners in real life, and how he’s since been able to create a supportive community of recovering porn addicts. Click here to learn more about the guest, and access the resources discussed in this episode.To learn more about the harms of pornography on consumers, relationships, and its larger societal impacts, visit FTND.org.To support this podcast, click here or text CONSIDER to 43506.As you go about your day we invite you to increase your self-awareness, look both ways, check your blindspots, and consider before consuming.

Sex Addiction Edition of the Betrayal Trauma SOS Podcast What is sex addiction and might you or a loved one be struggling with sex addiction? In this sex addiction podcast episode, we will take a whole body approach. Let’s discuss how sex addiction affects people physically, emotionally and spiritually. I’ll even share my horcrux addiction theory. We'll discuss: What is sex addiction?Why is it important to be informed about sex addiction?  Is sex addiction legit???? Learn how sex addiction affects the user physically.How can sex addiction affect the user emotionally?Learn how sex addiction affects the user spiritually.Sex Addiction Horcrux Theory Key Quotes from this week's episode: Fight the New Drug says that, “ Porn happens to be fantastic at forming new, long-lasting pathways in the brain. In fact, porn is such a ferocious competitor that hardly any other activity can compete with it, including actual sex with a real partner. That’s right, porn can actually overpower the brain’s natural ability to have real sex! Why? As Dr. Norman Doidge, a researcher at Columbia University, explains, porn creates the perfect conditions and triggers the release of the right chemicals to make lasting changes in the brain…. Repeated consumption of porn causes the brain to literally rewire itself. It triggers the brain to pump out chemicals and form new nerve pathways, leading to profound and lasting changes in the brain….” Neurosurgeon Donald Hilton challenges the idea that drugs are only things that you can purchase: “Why is it that some consider adrenaline and dopamine to be drugs if drug companies produce them, yet they will not acknowledge these same chemicals to be drugs if pornography stimulates the brain to produce them?” From Fight the New Drug, “The rise in porn-induced erectile dysfunction is something to be alarmed about.  Frequently watching porn can lead to erections which can increasingly ONLY be induced by hardcore pornography.  That’s not healthy.”  The following is from a Brannon Patrick Instagram post, “Addiction is a deathless death, it numbs the pain and the joy.” The following is a quote from Clay Olsen, who is the Co-Founder & President of Fight the New Drug. Clay says, “Having a healthy perspective of yourself, and a healthy amount of self-esteem and confidence is very important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle overall. The fantasy of porn tends to take away from that and give consumers the idea that they’re not good enough exactly as you are. We fight against that, and we fight to say that you are worth loving, and you are good enough.” From the book Love You, Hate the Porn by Mark Chamberlain and Geoff Steurer they say, Pornography’s “ultimate price: When he’s going to it, he’s not going to her.” The same can be said of women and can be reworded, “when she’s going to it, she’s not going to him.” SOURCES Donald L. Hilton Jr., MD speaks to Youth and Parents about Pornography and its impact on the Brain Brain, Heart, World (3 online videos) Is Addiction a Choice Or a Disease?

Trigger Warning: During this conversation we discuss sex trafficking, and suicide ideation. Listener discretion is advised.Jose has experienced so much in his life that would be unimaginable for many. While growing up in a small town in Texas, Jose was terrified to come out as gay to his family—particularly his physically and mentally abusive father. After coming out, Jose's family was not accepting. The rejection he faced from his parents played a role in leading Jose to rely on other ill-intentioned adults. Unfortunately, what happened next included a pattern of sexual abuse, manipulation, and sex trafficking at the hands of his abusers who, at the time, disguised themselves as men wanting to help Jose. Jose’s story of being sex trafficked as a male who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community is not one that is often told—even though those in the LGBTQ+ community regularly experience exploitation. Jose is now a public speaker, author, advocate, activist, and sex trafficking survivor who is sharing his story to help shed a light on these issues. We applaud Jose for his bravery and vulnerability in sharing his story with our listeners.Click here to learn more about the guest, and access the resources discussed in this episode.To learn more about the harms of pornography on consumers, relationships, and its larger societal impacts, visit FTND.org.To support this podcast, click here or text CONSIDER to 43506.As you go about your day we invite you to increase your self-awareness, look both ways, check your blindspots, and consider before consuming.
