Episode 261: Understanding Urges and Why They're Not Dangerous
Are you afraid of your urges? Many people struggle with the fear and discomfort they feel when urges to view pornography arise. But what if you could completely change how you relate to these urges? In this episode, I’m revisiting one of the most important topics for anyone looking to overcome pornography: understanding that urges are not a problem.
An urge is simply a feeling, a sensation in your body. It’s not a demon or something that controls you; it’s just a vibration. In fact, the more you understand and experience your urges without fear, the easier it becomes to sit with them without giving in. Urges don’t have to dictate your actions.
You’ll learn how to separate urges from the thoughts that create them and how to describe your urges in neutral, non-dramatic language that makes them feel much less overwhelming. By the end of this episode, you'll know how to sit with 100 urges and make them no longer something you fear. This is the work of true self-control and will completely transform your journey to freedom.
