Episode 28: Navigating Faith Challenges with Dr. Julie Hanks

Episode 28: Navigating Faith Challenges with Dr. Julie Hanks

July 26, 20212 min read

There is one thing that all of my clients have in common: difficulty accepting themselves. They want to change, and that’s great, but the truth is, you can’t make a positive change in your life if you don’t accept yourself. And that’s the work I’m helping you with on this episode.

Now, you might be reading this thinking, “What? But if I accept myself, why would I be motivated to change?” You think that accepting yourself is in direct conflict with your desire to quit viewing pornography. But while it sounds a little counterintuitive, you need to stick with me here because so many of my clients have successfully overcome pornography by doing just that.

Tune in this week to discover the power of self-acceptance. I’m sharing why I know beyond any doubt that this is vital work in changing your pornography habit, how to understand the work you have to do in this area, and where to start with it.

I have amazing news. If you want to take the work I’m sharing on the podcast deeper, I’m running a masterclass called How to Quit Viewing Pornography Even if You’ve Tried in the Past, and it is 100% free! All you have to do is sign up here and I will see you there. 

What You'll Learn from this Episode:

  • Why there is nothing wrong with you if you find yourself navigating faith challenges.

  • What Julie means when she talks about finding the middle ground in the LDS Church.

  • Why you don’t have to agree with every piece of LDS doctrine to have strong faith.

  • How Julie chooses to think about her relationship with the church.

  • The role that personal authority can play in your life if you choose to listen to it.

  • Why Dr. Hanks doesn’t like using the word “worthy” when discussing faith challenges.

  • How to make sure everyone is allowed their opinions without allowing it to affect your relationship.

  • What you can do to claim your internal authority and personal revelation, to decide for yourself what the spirit is telling you.
