One of the Biggest Problems for Healing is Our Media

How Therapists Using Media and the World of Limbic Advertising May Slow Healing

Below is an example of limbic advertising and using the media, I was reading an article that was phenomenal in helping people struggling with porn addiction. This individual had tremendous knowledge and was supporting it with data and other points of interest.

It was great until this person decided to use this print media to link to specific details of the article and then posting images that were …

… pornographic!

I couldn’t believe it.

Here’s a fabulous article tainted with the very thing he said he’s fighting against and confesses is destroying our society.

… Why? Why would they do this to an addict?

The only thing I could even suggest would be … money!

These links were driving profits to his pocket.

How awful to use media to capitalize and prey on the very people you are trying to help with the thing you’re trying to help them with.

I’m dumbfounded with how many therapists, counselors and so-called coaches use pornography in their media advertising (Limbic Advertising) to get clients. They use promises that frankly set addicts up for failure. For instance, many therapists/counselors/coaches use phrases like, cured, once and for all, out of your life, destroy this addiction, end your addiction,  etc…

You know what I mean. You have seen them, and maybe you have even fallen for some of these limbic advertising phrases.

Media Example of Limbic Advertising

UTAH FAMILY THERAPY'S UNFILTERED MISSION STATEMENT

Lets face it, who likes to talk about their crap with other people? 

If you’re like most clients, you’re used to being judged despite hearing so many people talk about non judgment and when you do open up, it seems like the more you share, the less likely you are to get compassion. 

We’ve worked our butts off to create a clinic where the unfiltered, real you, can show up and heal, so dammit give therapy a chance

We love the unfiltered real you, let’s heal together. – Utah Family Therapy Team
