Mending The Armor News: Providing the latest news, information and research in the area of pornography addiction treatment for teens and young adults.

Mending The Armor helps therapists grow their practice by offering programs for treating Pornography Addiction

Because of the sexualization of our culture, the ease of access to explicit media and the potency of today's pornography, more and more people are seeking help for addiction to pornography.  Unfortunately, pornography addiction is a problem that has become a major factor in the destruction of marriages and families.  It is anticipated that the need for effective treatment for those addicted will significantly increase in the years to come.

The Mending The Armor program provides therapists with a formal structured approach to working with individuals struggling with pornography addiction.  The program provides separate tracks for teens, young single adults and married adults. 

The program utilizes the Breaking Free workbook which is a curriculum that provides clients with a step by step, structured approach to learning to manage the addiction.  There are versions of this workbook uniquely designed for teens, young single adults, and married adults.  

Therapists in the Mending The Armor network are provided an initial comprehensive training to become qualified to provide treatment.  Additionally, each month, therapists receive a one hour CEU training to continue to grow their knowledge and skill in the area of pornography addiction treatment.  Mending The Armor providers can earn up to 16 CEU credits annually. 

The Mending The Armor program is set up to be easily implemented into any already existing outpatient counseling clinic and is currently being provided in 18 office locations around the United States.

Workbook for LDS Young Adults now available!

Mending The Armor has released a new version of the Breaking Free workbook that has been tailored to LDS young adults.  This workbook is now available at all Mending The Armor office locations.  This workbook is the text used in the Mending The Armor for Young Adults program.

This workbook is ideal for pre and post mission young men who are striving to conquer pornography addiction and other sexual behaviors.  The workbook covers the same concepts that are found in the original Breaking Free workbook for youth, but has a stronger focus on Twelve Step principles and also highlights the devastating impact of pornography addiction on marital relationships.  The underpinnings of the treatment highlight the necessity that young adults move into the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage of social development free from pornography and sexual addiction.  The workbook also strongly encourages that young adults complete this program and then transition into the LDS Twelve Step program for longer-term support.
