Beating addiction out of you - literally
It sounds like it works for some. I wonder why the guy had to be naked. And how they can go twice a week?

It wasn't as crazy as I imagined since brain pathways for fear and excitement are the same which I guess explain the endorphins release.

"flagellation therapy"

funny, when I do that my therapist calls it "self harm" and frowns upon the practice

That to me is like a therapist who frowns on using pot but urges prescription drugs on people. I would trust my pot grower more than I ever would trust big pharma.

I was mostly being facetious. There's good reason for him to frown on it.
Possible trigger:

not quite the same thing. I think the flagellation therapy would be a lot more like consensual BDSM or something.
interestingly, I actually take naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, to attenuate the endogenous opioid/endorphin response, and it really does make a difference in both urges to SH (naltrexone is also used for alcohol urges) and the feeling if/when I do SH.
