The UK's first porn addiction treatment has been launched after a pilot study was granted ethical approval. The free programme helps people struggling with unwanted sexual behaviours and is the only professional-led course available online.
Dr Paula Hall and her team at The Laurel Centre, in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, are behind the effort, reports Birmingham Live. The course has six steps of recovery and is divided into two parts consisting of 60 podcasts accompanied by workbooks and further resources.
The pilot study, carried out in partnership with Leeds Trinity University, sets out to better understand how users engage with the course and to objectively assess their results.
