The Escalation Trap: Why Modern Porn Takes Root So Fast
If you have ever wondered why problematic online content use seems to intensify over time, requiring more frequent engagement, longer hours, or increasingly extreme material, you are not alone. In this episode, I draw on my more than 30 years as a clinical psychologist specializing in compulsive behaviors and relational trauma to explain the underlying mechanisms behind escalation.
