The YourBrainRebalanced Radio Show - Video Podcast w/ Gabe Deem and Gary Wilson!

[fugu]

The YourBrain Rebalanced Radio Show - Episode 12 is up and running!​

Hey everyone! The title says it all. Apeman, Jeff and I (members of another porn addiction website) have decided to do a 8 part radio show that tackles issues on pornography addiction, PIED, rebooting, rewiring and just life as a pornography addict. The show is recorded on Skype (hopefully weekly, but it will probably be slightly more irregular than that) and we will hopefully be having special guests for each episode. As of right now, the show is audio only. It's available for streaming and download!

The show's format is casual - we're really not too concerned if we get off topic and chat about other things that aren't apart of each episode "topic". The goal of this show is to provide content where pornography addicts interact and communicate with each other, hopefully humanizing the condition a little bit more. While this forum is a fantastic resource, most of us only communicate through typing, which can make our interactions impersonal and distant. This show hopes to make this condition a little more human for everybody.

As of right now, we are shooting for 8 episodes and we will gauge the feedback after that to see if it's helpful and if we should keep going. The topics for all the episodes aren't worked out yet so definitely post and talk about topics you'd like to hear about. PLEASE PLEASE. And also if you'd like to be on the show freakin' let me know!!

SEASON 1

EPISODE 1-9

Season 1 of the YBR show was filled with a lot of great moments. Interviews with Gabe Deem, Noah Church, and Gary Wilson are featured in the following episodes. We cover a range of topics, stemming from "Starting the Reboot" to "Porn Addiction and Modern Science and Research". Enjoy friends!

SEASON 2

EPISODE 10

Season 2 is back of the YourBrainRebalanced Show! At least, that's what we will call our hiatus. Only Daniel (Jeff) and Charlie (fugu) were available for this short introductory episode - BUT DON'T FEAR. Jack (Apeman) will be back with us shortly, and guests will be a part of future shows. We simply talked about what we've been doing the last few months and answered a few old questions.

EPISODE 11

Season 2, episode 2 of the YBR show features Jack (Apeman), Noah Church (Spangler), and Charlie Marcotte (fugu) in a general discussion about pornography addiction and challenges we have individually faced during the course of rebooting. The topics were wide ranging, but the podcast is filled with a lot of great conversation. Check out this fantastically funny and informational presentation (almost stand up routine) Noah did on porn addiction and pornography induced ED back in November: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXtEcQGLWW8

EPISODE 12

This episode of the YBR show discusses all of the important, helpful activities one can do during a reboot that'll improve your quality of life. Daniel Simmons has returned from his meditation sabbatical (!!!) to give us first hand knowledge and experience about the boons of meditating. Noah Church and Charlie Marcotte are just ignorant.

Towards the end of the episode we answered a few fans questions that were particularly engaging...shout out to OSS from RebootNation for asking great questions and listening to us for a long time.

EPISODE 13

In this episode of the YBR show, Gabe Deem and Gary Wilson join Charlie "Fugu" Marcotte and Noah "Spangler" Church to discuss common pornography myths and misconceptions. After the topic discussion, the cast chatted about a variety of pornography addiction and pornography induced sexual dysfunction topics. It was a really good discussion and we always love having those two on the show. The SoundCloud file will be up soon with streaming and download access - but, for now, here is the YouTube video. With our talking heads.  8) Enjoy!

Yeah it is pretty funny, particularly after you've been reading about these people's lives and putting faces and voices to the story

[fugu]

Next episode is coming in a few days with special guest Spangler! He wrote a great book on PMO addiction is putting out some GREAT content on YouTube on the subject.

Any suggestions for topics? Any questions for Spangler or the rest of the crew?

[OSS]

Has any of the crew, Spangler included ever dealt with derealization/depersonalization (some say it's simply heavy brain fog) and how it effects them and their rebooting? I realise it's a broad question but curious if anyone has anything to share about it and over coming it while rebooting.

Cheers

 

[fugu]

Hey everyone! The new episode with author of "Wack: Addicted to Internet Porn" Noah Church is live! This was a great episode and Noah has some really great insight. His YouTube channel is top notch. Check it out!

As usual, post in questions or comments you want answered for future episodes.

CRAP, we didn't see this question when we were doing the show. I'll ask Spangler about it and he'll get back to you on this thread!

 

[OSS]

Great, thanks!

I had an intense moment (I think it was towards the end of the show) when you guys were talking about how real life is only about 5% sex. Struck me hard to realise I base almost everything I do in day to day life on sex and sexual interaction.

Yeah I still suffer sometimes from that 'sex-centric' thinking. Fortunately, being aware of it is crazy helpful and big win in itself.

I sent Spangler a message with your question, let's see what he says!

 

[Spangler]

By depersonalization, you mean the feeling of being outside of yourself or being disengaged with reality? Looking back, yes I have had many experiences like this, but they were never severe or long-lasting enough for me to seek help with them. I haven't felt this way in awhile, and that may very well be related to no PMO. Do you find that depersonalization causes you to give into urges more easily?

 

[OSS]

It kicked in after my first panic attack in January when I reached about 25 days no arousal streak. I stayed porn free for a further 100 days and I still had it but it did get dramatically better. Initially it was like I was dreaming 24/7 for weeks, I thought everything around me was fake. Best way I can describe it is like I'm "stuck behind my eyes" or in a dream-like state. Conciousness feels wobbly and it's like I can't focus on stuff that I look at. I'm reasonably confident it's anxiety related. I've never really felt outside of myself, but definitely disengaged with reality

Mainly just curious if any long term rebooters have experienced it.

Hmm... I don't believe it has effected my urge or relapse rate directly, it adds to the depression and anxiety but I have only relapsed due to feeling down very few times anyway.

Thanks for the response
