Unhooked
Beyond the urge
Pornography addiction recovery at the root.
Our Philosophy
Most approaches to pornography addiction rely on willpower, guilt and suppression. They target the behaviour and leave its origins untouched.Unhooked takes a different approach. We work with the root causes of compulsive behaviour rather than fighting the behaviour itself.Over the course of a life, everyone experiences moments of hurt that leave a mark at a deep, often unconscious level. When these wounds go unaddressed, they can find expression in compensatory behaviours, including addiction.When the wounds behind the behaviour are reprocessed, the addiction can loosen its hold without a constant fight. The benefits often reach well beyond the addiction itself, freeing up other areas of life held back by the same underlying hurt.Our work draws on therapy, shadow work, psychoanalytic thinking and personal development.The aim is simple: to welcome what has been repressed, and move beyond it towards a life of joy and agency.
I've tried Online Programs before. How is Unhooked different?
There are a few things that make the Unhooked program stand out, but the main one is definitely the unique suite of methods that are used to understand, heal and integrate the addiction and its root from different perspectives.
EMOTIONAL FREEDOM
Deep Reprocessing of Root Emotions
Addiction is often misunderstood as a behaviour that sticks for no reason. The reasons exist but are often hidden and deeply buried in people's unconscious bank of traumas, memories and peak emotional experiences.At Unhooked we reprocess those root emotions so they lose their power to trigger the behaviour.
BEHAVIOUR
Qualitative Tapering
Most methods addressing addictions aim at reducing triggers and how many times the behaviour is acted out. At Unhooked, we don't try and reduce the number of times pornography is consumed, rather we change progressively how it is consumed, so that over time pornography "becomes boring" and loosens its appeal.
COGNITION
Fantasy Analysis
Sexual Fantasies are an incredibly rich and colourful bank of information regarding one's personality, deep needs and idealised narratives.A fair fraction of the Unhooked program is dedicated to revisiting sexual fantasies under the lens of power transfers and observing whose needs are met how.Instead of vilifying sexual fantasies we celebrate them as encoded knowledge about the Self. Once people understand why they like what they like, they can meet their deep unmet needs in a way that is not compulsive and based on addictive patterns.

“After 12 weeks I’m finally free from my addiction”
“I knew I had a problem with pornography as it was affecting my sex life, my physical and mental health and often I could not get to sleep until I had a session each night. I made the commitment to do the program and after 12 weeks I’m finally able to say I’m free from pornography addiction.”- Rob A., Australia
"I want people who suffer from pornography to know that it's possible to get better. - Dimitri"

“Exceptional program for improving your mental health”
“There is no doubt that this program really helps you understand what is going on behind the scenes of your compulsions and is far far more than just trying to change your mindset. It was immensely helpful in understanding my triggers, which were not at all what I thought, and helping to get a much healthier relationship with myself and my coping mechanisms for life.

“It helped me release what I had been holding onto.”
”Like so many men, I received negative and toxic programming from porn which affected my relationships, self-love, and self-worth. It was amazing to see that someone like Dimitri specializes in this topic.I got to touch feelings of guilt and anger during the treatments which helped me release what I had been holding onto. I imagine this is how many people feel and yet in the past it was easier to go numb to my true feelings.The work Dimitri is doing is very important for men, especially men who are sensitive and are into healing work.”- Lars K., United States
