Joshua Shea is an author, educator and speaker on the topic of pornography addiction and a certified betrayal trauma coach. Shea was born and raised in Lewiston, Maine, and started working in journalism at 17 years old in 1993 for his hometown newspaper, The Sun Journal. Having caught the news bug, he worked his way up the ladder at various newspapers throughout New England as both a writer and editor along the way. In late 2009, he launched Lewiston Auburn Magazine, the first lifestyle magazine of its kind in central Maine. A little more than a year later, Shea helped create the Lewiston Auburn Film Festival, also the first of its kind in central Maine. Shortly thereafter, he captured a spot on the Auburn City Council, where he served for two years. His addictions got the better of him in late 2013/early 2014 and he made much needed changes to his life. His first book, "The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About: How My Pornography Addiction Hurt People and Destroyed Relationships" was first released in January 2018, with an update in September 2019. His second book, co-written with Tony Overbay, LMFT, "He's a Porn Addict...Now What? An Expert and a Former Addict Answer Your Questions" was released in December 2019 to help the partners of pornography addicts. His third book, "Porn and the Pandemic: How Three Months in 2020 Changed Everything" was released in July 2020. Expanding into the category of betrayal trauma, Shea earned his certification as a coach, mainly helping with the partners (often female) of pornography addicts and those who committed infidelity. Shea helped contribute to "Hardened to Healed" a 2021 book released by Dr. Debi Silber. After going viral on TikTok with videos about pornography addiction in late 2021 and early 2022, Shea wrote "I'm Reading This Book About Porn Addiction For A Friend", his first solo foray into self-help specifically for pornography addicts. Shea operates pAddictRecovery.com, where he provides information about his coaching, pornography addiction and betrayal trauma. You may contact him through that website. He has one wife, two children, four dogs, and nine cats.
