In this episode of Warriors Unmasked, Chuck sits down with Joshua Shea, a former politician, magazine publisher, TEDx speaker, author, and a certified pornography addiction and betrayal trauma coach. Joshua's story is a profound journey of struggles, realization, and transformation that resonates with the themes of resilience and redemption central to our podcast. Joshua's addiction began at a young age when he was introduced to hardcore pornography at just 12 years old. This exposure marked the start of a challenging journey through addiction to both pornography and alcohol. Joshua describes how these addictions served as coping mechanisms for the underlying trauma and abuse he experienced in his early life.  A significant part of the episode focuses on how the internet and technological advances have transformed the landscape of pornography consumption and production. Joshua highlights the alarming trend of younger generations being exposed to explicit content at increasingly younger ages, emphasizing the profound impact this early exposure has on their mental and emotional development. This candid discussion also delves into the broader societal implications of widespread pornography use and its intersection with mental health. Joshua provides insights into how addiction, regardless of its form, manifests and affects one's life. He stresses the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction – the trauma and psychological needs that drive individuals towards addictive behaviors. The episode is not just about the perils of addiction; it's a beacon of hope. Joshua's personal recovery, marked by self-realization and a commitment to change, underscores the message that transformation is possible. His journey from a life dominated by addiction to one where he is a guiding light for others battling similar issues is inspiring. For anyone touched by this episode or knows someone who might be battling similar demons, Joshua's story is a testament that recovery and redemption are within reach. It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a path forward, towards healing and hope. I encourage you to listen to the full episode. Hit play, and let his journey inspire and challenge you to understand the nuanced world of addiction and the power of transformation.   GUEST LINKS:   Website: http://www.paddictrecovery.com/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thatcorncoach  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-shea-7b9932194  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatcorncoach    LINKS: malarchuk.com/book  malarchuk.com  www.thecompassionateconnection.com www.warriorsunmasked.com  Join Chuck's Text Community: 251-418-7966 Follow us on Instagram Like us on Facebook Subscribe To Our YouTube My Community Contact   Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 Introduction + Messages From Our Sponsors  04:12 Joshua Shea's Personal Journey with Addiction 07:59 The Impact of Pornography on Society 08:31 The Evolution of Pornography Consumption 22:20 The Rise of Pornography Production 29:36 The Psychological Impact of Pornography 36:29 The Devastating Effects of Addiction 37:20 Understanding the Nature of Addiction 37:58 The Stigma Surrounding Porn Addiction 38:25 The Importance of Education in Combating Addiction 39:28 The Normalization of Pornography 41:37 The Impact of Porn Addiction on Personal Life 42:26 The Journey to Recovery 50:48 The Importance of Honesty in Recovery 52:29 The Role of Trauma in Addiction 54:27 Resources and Strategies for Recovery 59:41 Final Thoughts on Addiction and Recovery

Last Wednesday evening, October 25, 2023, Tony Overbay, LMFT, and Joshua Shea traded text messages as they often do on Wednesday to discuss whether or not they were going to meet virtually early Thursday morning as they continue to work on various projects around their best-selling book, “He's a Porn Addict Now What? An Expert and a Former Addict Answer Your Questions.” The text conversations took an abrupt turn as Josh was alerted by an emergency broadcast on his phone and through social media that 40-year-old Maine National Guard reservist Robert Card went on two shooting rampages, killing 18 people and wounding 13 with the second only a mile away from Shea's home in Lewiston, Maine. Several days later, Josh and Tony get together to attempt to navigate the complex emotional landscape of discussing such a horrifying event, underscoring the importance of approaching the subject with the utmost sensitivity, empathy, and respect. Tony and Josh dive deep into Shea's personal experiences during the incident and its aftermath. As a former news reporter, Shea candidly shares the surreal emotional and psychological journey he took, contrasting his past experiences running towards crises as part of his job to now sheltering at home in fear and uncertainty. Shea reveals the emotional rollercoaster he's been on: from survivor guilt and concern for his family's safety to the struggles of processing such an immense tragedy, including what the future looks like when an event that we hear about unfortunately far too often actually happens in an area that you know so well. The conversation touches on the psychological toll of collective traumatic experiences, like 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic, and the long-lasting effects they have on individuals and entire communities. The episode wraps up with insightful conversations around coping mechanisms and the critical importance of mental health support in the wake of traumatic events. This episode serves as a sobering but necessary dialogue on the unpredictable nature of life and the importance of mental and emotional preparedness while understanding that everybody has their own experience and that there truly is no “correct” way to grieve. It's an episode that invites the audience not just to hear but to listen, reflect, and possibly find solace in shared human experiences.

Addiction comes in many forms. Most of them are difficult to conceal. Whether it's drugs, alcohol, or gambling, the outward effects of addiction are often easily visible to the family, friends, and coworkers of the addict. However, porn addiction—the compulsive dependence on pornography that interferes with the ability to function—can remain largely undetected. And yet the fallout is quite real. In addition to the shame and guilt one might feel, there is also the risk of the inability to perform sexually without porn, alienation of spouses and partners, and disconnection from relationships, work, or other activities. The advent of high-speed internet has kicked the problem into overdrive, as addicts now have access to a nearly unlimited stream of addictive resources. In this episode, we speak with coach, author and speaker Joshua Shea. Josh specializes in the realm of addiction, with a particular focus on pornography addiction. He addresses the concerns not only of those with a porn addiction, but also the issues that come with being a partner of a porn addict, and raising children in the age of high-speed internet access. Josh has been pornography-free since March 2014, and he believes that if we can begin to talk more about porn addiction and mental health, we'll see rates of addiction drop.  Because the topic is sex, many folks are reluctant to have a frank discussion around the mental health implications of this disease. But this is a vital conversation that we need to be having. We hope you'll find our talk with Josh to be revealing and informative. So let's get on the road!About Joshua SheaJoshua Shea is a pornography addiction expert, certified betrayal trauma coach, therapeutic disclosure specialist and the author of four books about pornography addiction, including He's a Porn Addict…Now What?

Joshua believes that if we, as a society, can begin to talk more about pornography addiction and mental health, people may be able to address their addictions before they devolve to the unhealthy and criminal places where his very own hit rock bottom. For years, on the outside, people only saw him as a successful magazine publisher, film festival founder and city councilor. Joshua hid his mental health issues, pornography and alcohol addictions from the world. The end to this façade came in 2013 after engaging a teen girl in an online chatroom. For this action he served six months in jail and credits this experience to being the wake up call needed. Joshua credits his higher-power for giving him the strength to fix his very broken self. paddictrecovery.com instagram.com/paddictrecovery --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/recoverynuggetspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/recoverynuggetspodcast/support
