You think it’s about sex. It’s not.
In this episode,we go deep; not into porn addiction, but into what your porn habit might really be about. Control. Loneliness.The need to be wanted without risk. If you’ve ever watched and then felt empty, numb, or ashamed...this is why.

We’re unpacking the psychodynamiccore of porn use:
How it acts as emotional anaesthetic.
How it replays early attachment wounds.
How it replaces intimacy with fantasy.
And why, for many men, porn becomes the only place they feel safe being vulnerable.

This isn’t a moral rant.
This is - the truth under the habit.
And once you see it - you can never unsee it.

You’re not crazy. You’re chemically attached to someone who trained your nervous system to mistake pain for love.
This isn’t romance — it’s a trauma loop. And you’ve been stuck in it for years.

In this episode, we expose the brutal mechanics of trauma bonding: the intermittent reward cycles, the childhood imprinting, the neurochemical addiction, and why you keep calling manipulation “connection.”
We’ll walk through why you chase people who hurt you, how your past programmed you to tolerate chaos, and what happens when your need to be chosen outweighs your sense of self.

If you’ve ever begged for clarity from someone who thrives on confusion…
If you’ve ever felt high when they come back and sick when they leave…
If you’ve ever called that love -

This episode is your wake-up call.

They broke the rules. But the story started long before the affair.

In this episode of Soul Path Alchemy, we go beneath the surface of infidelity — not to excuse it, but to understand what drives it, what it exposes, and what it demands of us.

Affairs aren’t about sex. They’re about silence. Neglect. Longing. Power. And the parts of ourselves we exile to keep the peace.

We’ll explore:

• Why affairs are often a response to unspoken truths

• The unconscious dynamics that precede betrayal

• What both the betrayer and the betrayed must face if anything real is to survive

• How to make sense of the chaos without bypassing the pain

• This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about brutal clarity.
  Because the wound only starts with the affair — but healing goes all the way down to the root.
