I’m Gabi Koyenov, a therapist and storyteller, diving into life's mysteries and the human journey. Growing up on the streets of Queens has taught me to have lots of heart and cunning. Raised by immigrant parents that valued education, when it was time to go to high school, I went to a private jewish school I was not ready for. The culture-shock made me fascinated by why people are different. I began devouring every YouTube video on the subject like a hungry lion cub. This, and working with my own high school counselor lit a fire in me. I quickly became the go to guy for anyone needing help.

Let's Talk About Porn with Dr. Trish Leigh

In this deeply informative episode of The Gabi Koyenov Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Trish Leigh, a cognitive neuroscientist and educator, for a raw and science-backed conversation about the neurological and emotional impact of pornography. We start by discussing her experience filming with Jubilee and quickly dive into the science behind porn addiction, early exposure, and how compulsion rewires the brain.Dr. Leigh breaks down the benefits of neurofeedback, how to support children in the digital age, and why self-regulation is essential for mental health. We also explore tough but important topics like how pornography affects relationships, masturbation’s role in intimacy, and the parenting strategies needed to guide teens through a hypersexualized online world.This episode offers a balanced, practical approach to screen addiction, adolescent exposure, and emotional resilience. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or someone navigating your own journey, this is an essential conversation about neuroscience, healing, and living with purpose.Connect with Dr. Trish LeighYoutube - @DrTrishLeigh Website - drtrishleigh.comBook on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/shop/dr.trishleighprnbrainrewire/list/24C3Q6UC9ZIWE?ref_=aipsflistConnect with Gabi!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/journey_with_gabi/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2SoydqNskaV9wOra0Yh6Z3?si=d1891df9a822414cBook a session!The Men's Therapy Studiohttps://themenstherapystudio.com/00:00 Introduction and Welcoming Dr. Trish Le00:27 Discussing the Jubilee Experience01:41 The Science Behind Pornography03:56 Personal Stories and Experiences05:32 Understanding Compulsion and Addiction11:18 The Impact of Early Exposure to Pornography13:29 Challenges in Addressing Pornography in Schools33:37 Neurofeedback and Its Benefits39:12 The Journey to Finding Purpose49:05 Managing Emotions and Self-Regulation50:37 The Role of Masturbation in Relationships52:29 The Impact of Pornography on Mental Health57:33 Addressing Adolescent Exposure to Explicit Content59:25 Parenting Strategies for Digital Natives01:01:08 Balancing Screen Time and Real Life01:02:55 The Importance of Self-Regulation in Children01:06:52 Systemic Solutions to Screen and Porn Addiction01:19:05 Creating a Staycation Lifestyle01:22:01 Final Thoughts and Resources
