First-person YouTube testimony (by Josh Trent) describing a multi-year recovery from pornography addiction. The speaker reports roughly five years of struggle with repeated relapses, with the final two years involving deep inner work—trauma processing, a "deep process of forgiveness," and reassessing sexual development—which the speaker credits for achieving sustained freedom. The testimony emphasizes a transformed view of sexuality and increased self-value that made objectifying others intolerable.

How did you desexualize your brain from pornography? It took five years from that season before I finally experienced what I would describe as freedom from pornography. I'm talking about actual freedom, where it's like, okay, this doesn't have a stronghold in my life anymore. And so I would go a week. Eventually I could go maybe even a couple months. But something always came back because that root system was still there. It was still at play. You know, there were wounds in my heart that were still wounded. There were issues in my belief systems that were still there. I didn't actually deal with the things underneath the surface. The last two years of recovery is where I started to do the work. You know, start to work through trauma, went through a really deep process of forgiveness, started to understand some parts of my path that contribute to my sexual development. And that's when I found real healing. My whole view of sexuality changed. It's that I start to see people differently. I had such a high value for myself that I. Eventually, I couldn't stomach the thought of objectifying another person.
