Episode 182: What to Do When Everyone Around You Takes a Shame Approach

July 08, 20242 min read
What do you do when it seems like everyone around you, whether it’s your church, partner, or even the state you live in, approaches porn with fear, shame, and panic tactics?

If you’re learning new skills related to your porn use, they’re changing your life, and you’re feeling the benefits, but other people don’t get it, you’re not alone. Many people find themselves in situations where they feel relentlessly attacked by shame messages. While it might feel like it’s hindering your healing process, the truth is your power doesn’t come from other people finally getting it.

Join me on this episode to learn what to do when everyone around you takes a shame approach to porn. I’m showing you how your peace and freedom come from not participating in these narratives, some ways you might choose to step out of the line of fire, and how, when you learn to do this, you can make a much bigger difference in your community.
