Dr. Doug Weiss discusses the incredible neuroplasticity of the human brain and how we can retrain our sexual desires and thoughts. He teaches us that through consistent effort, we can reshape our sexual brain, desiring our spouse more than anyone else and fostering healthy sexual connections. Dr. Weiss explains practical steps for retraining the brain to overcome unhealthy sexual thoughts, desires, and behaviors, including:

Using a Rubber Band Technique: Whenever an inappropriate thought arises, snap a rubber band on your wrist. This simple action can help rewire the brain by interrupting the thought pattern, reducing the power of sexual fantasies and objectification.

Making Phone Calls: When you feel sexually stimulated or start to objectify someone, call someone from your support group to talk it through. Sharing your experience with someone who understands can significantly reduce the intensity of the arousal.

Praying for the Person You're Sexualizing: Dr. Weiss suggests switching gears by praying for the person you're objectifying, putting them in a relational context instead of an object context. This helps your brain shift focus and operate differently.

Setting Boundaries with Stimuli: Reducing contact with external triggers like movies, internet content, and social media can help eliminate the risks of falling back into unhealthy sexual patterns. Dr. Weiss stresses the importance of protecting yourself from these influences to strengthen your recovery.

Creating a Nurturing Sexual Experience: For married couples, Dr. Weiss encourages creating an environment that nurtures connection and intimacy. Keep your eyes open, talk in relational terms, and focus on nurturing each other’s love and pleasure. By doing so, your brain can neurologically attach to your spouse as the primary sexual desire, resulting in the healthiest, most fulfilling sexual experiences.

Dr. Weiss reminds us that through neuroplasticity, we have the power to change and heal our sexual brain. By following these steps, we can foster a deeper connection with our spouse, allowing them to become the focal point of our sexual desires.
