Episode 184: Denial
If you’re currently on a journey towards quitting your pornography habit, chances are you’ve experienced denial along the way. Denial is a defensive state where you might refuse to accept or look at the truth, and while this is a common human experience, shame and guilt often come along with it.
What I find most fascinating about denial is that it’s recognized as one of the stages of grief. While you might not be grieving the loss of a loved one, you may be grieving the actions you’ve taken, where you are right now in life, or what you don’t have. In this episode, I show you why denial is typically a result of grief and how to get out of it.
Tune in this week to learn a shame-free perspective on denial and examples of when denial shows up as a result of grief. You also hear about the importance of noticing and feeling your sense of grief and how to find the peace and healing you desire.
