Overcome Pornography for Good with Sara Brewer | Thought Suppression

Episode 199: I’ll Eventually Give In

November 04, 20242 min read

Do you ever feel like you're destined to give in to pornography, no matter how hard you try to quit? That nagging thought in the back of your mind, "I'll eventually give in," can be so discouraging and make the journey to freedom feel hopeless. But what if that thought isn't just a negative belief to overcome, but a sign of a deeper wound that needs healing?

In this episode, I share a powerful clip from a recent coaching call where a client and I dive deep into this "I'll eventually give in" mentality. We discover that this persistent thought often stems from a younger, wounded part of ourselves that needs love and healing, not just a mindset shift.

Join us as we explore how doing this deeper inner healing work is not separate from the process of quitting pornography, but an essential part of finding lasting freedom. You'll learn why shaming yourself or relying on willpower alone won't lead to the change you seek, and how healing your inner wounds can make the journey so much easier.
