Episode 66: How Do I Process an Urge?
If you’ve been here for a while, you’ve heard me talk a lot about processing urges. When we have these urges to view pornography, what we don’t want to do is push them away or try to willpower through them. We want to process them. Processing your urges will help you train your brain to stop wanting porn.
Urges cannot make you do anything. They are not dangerous, and they are not something to be avoided. In fact, it’s the opposite. They need to be felt and experienced so that they can move through your body and pass. It’s simple to do but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Join me this week as I’m sharing what it means to process an urge and a three-step process that will help you process your urges whenever you feel them come up. You can use what I’m teaching you today with any emotion in your life, so tune in to find out exactly how to do it and how this can help you give up pornography for good.
