Are you tired of trying to quit porn using methods that just don't work? Have you been told that more accountability, filters, or willpower is the answer, only to find yourself stuck in the same shame-filled cycle? What if the real problem lies beneath the surface, and band-aid solutions will never bring lasting freedom?

In this episode, I reveal the hidden forces that keep you trapped in unwanted porn use and how facing them head-on can finally set you free. I share powerful insights from my work with clients who have overcome pornography addiction by addressing root issues like shame, negative self-beliefs, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

You'll learn why focusing on surface-level behaviors will never bring true healing, how to overcome the shame that fuels compulsive porn use, and what it takes to rewire your brain for healthy sexuality.
