Porn addiction
How to listen and provide solution from the issues arriving if a person is addicted to pornographic materials?
@Sheikhmsaqibali Listeners here at 7 Cups do not provide solutions. We are here to ensure that members feel heard, valued and
understood. This is explained in the training that every listener receives. You can review the training here: Active Listening You can also discuss any questions you have with a mentor. (These links are for listeners only.)

@RarelyCharlie Thanks for the response,. I know that we don't provide solutions but how do I divert the situation and get the answer from the user himself.
@Sheikhmsaqibali Listeners here at 7 Cups do not get the answer from anyone. We are only here to ensure that members feel heard, valued and understood. If a member wants to find answers, then a professional therapist can help the member. Listeners do not provide amateur therapy. To find a therapist at 7 Cups, any member can go to Considering Therapy? and chat to Sophia.
I'm not sure what you mean when you write divert the situation. If you would like to divert the chat to another listener, you can go to the Listener Support Room and ask there.

@Sheikhmsaqibali
by diverting the situation do you mean providing them with learning material and resources that can help with the addiction ? here in this suncommunity there is a subcategory for that you could give them this link https://www.7cups.com/forum/AddictionSupport_131/SexandPornAddictionSupport_723/ that they might be interested in or you could find some resource online if you want to and share it but i just share the above link lots of usueful and helpful info there and its up to you whether you would like to listen and talk to them about that topic
