Overcome Pornography for Good with Sara Brewer | Recognizing Progress When You Feel Stuck with Hunter

Episode 235: Recognizing Progress When You Feel Stuck with Hunter

July 21, 20252 min read

Do you ever feel like you should be further along in overcoming pornography? Despite knowing the tools, listening to the podcasts, and doing the work, something still feels off. It’s a common frustration that often leads to the belief that either you’re not trying hard enough or the tools aren’t working for you.

In this episode, Coach Hunter addresses this struggle by revealing a crucial shift in perspective. The issue isn’t that you need more tools or that you need to work harder; it’s that you haven’t fully understood where you are right now. Shifting from “doing more” to “understanding where you are” is the key to moving forward with confidence. 

The solution is simple: create a baseline. By understanding where you are emotionally, spiritually, physically, and socially, you’ll gain the clarity to recognize real progress. Progress doesn’t have to be perfect; it’s about noticing the small wins, and knowing where you started gives you the confidence to keep moving forward.
