The Ego
When beginning on the journey, one should start with understanding the ego or “false self.” The “false self” ego is a persona that people develop to survive and feel safe in the world. Why is this damaging? Because the ego is made up of a thousand different scraps of fear. This results in a type of isolation due to protection mechanisms. When it comes to porn, the ego will continue seeking out more and more of it to feel comforted and whole. The feeling of lack drives the ego back into the screen, trying to fill the void.

How To Get Out of the Ego
Moving away from your ego and towards the true self can be challenging, but also rewarding. Accomplishing this can be done in a couple of different ways:
- Join a program
- Get an accountability partner
- Hiring a coach
- Consider the default mechanisms that the ego goes to that aren’t healthy
The goal is to get someone who can see dangerous patterns in yourself before you can. This is what can shed light on the ego, especially if the true self is ready to hear what needs to be said. The true self can’t be angry or irritable or anxious, so see what’s behind those feelings. When the true self begins to become more aware, it will start to get easier to improve and implement action steps into life.
