October 21, 20242 min read

Do you turn to pornography when you’re stressed, lonely, or noticing other uncomfortable emotions? What if I told you that emotions aren't actually dangerous or harmful, and that learning to feel them fully could change your life and your porn habit in profound ways?

When we stop fearing and resisting our emotions, a whole new world of possibility opens up. Imagine being able to go after your biggest goals and dreams without being held back by the fear of failure, embarrassment, or rejection. Mastering the skill of feeling your feelings is the key to living an amazing life and overcoming pornography for good.

Tune in this week to discover the seven steps I teach my clients to help them process their emotions in a healthy way. By learning to name, locate, and relax into our feelings, we can start to see our emotions for what they really are: temporary vibrations in the body that don't have the power to hurt us, and that don’t need to be distracted with pornography.
