Episode 215: What's Possible with Ben
Have you ever felt trapped by unwanted pornography use, especially if you grew up in a religious environment? Do you struggle with feelings of shame, unworthiness, and the fear of letting others down? In this powerful episode, Ben shares his story of overcoming pornography and finding true healing and self-acceptance.
As a descendant of high-profile leaders in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ben felt immense pressure to live up to certain expectations and hide his struggles with pornography. He found himself caught in a cycle of shame, believing that he was constantly disappointing God and those around him.
Through working with coach Jessica in the Overcome Pornography for Good program, Ben discovered the power of grieving, self-compassion, and living authentically. He learned to embrace his inherent worth and turn to the atonement of Jesus Christ for healing. Ben's story offers hope and inspiration for anyone seeking to break free from the chains of unwanted pornography use and find true freedom.
