Episode 93: Out of Control
When clients come to me for help quitting porn, they often feel out of control, like they have no power over their pornography use. This is a feeling that generally comes from not having a deep understanding of the science behind the habit, but there is also another place it comes from.
Even if you do understand what’s going on in your brain, it can be too painful to accept your desires, meaning you’re not being honest with yourself. But when you’re able to see past the shame and embarrassment, you’re able to start the process of gaining control over your porn use.
Tune in this week to discover what is really creating the feeling that your porn habit is out of control. Whether you’re feeling shame around your porn use, or you just don’t understand it, I’m showing you why it’s okay to have bad habits, as long as we acknowledge them, and I’m giving you everything you need to know to show up with integrity and regain a sense of control over your pornography habit.
