Today’s Episode:
Sometimes it can feel really difficult to identify the underlying issues that lead to pornography use.
Is it from childhood? Is it something that developed afterwards? Is it just a habit? Why does it keep happening? And how to I fix it?
The key is to start by identifying and resolving the underlying issues that lead to this behavior.
Addressing things on a deeper level is also important for a wife because she won't be able to fully trust without knowing he's dealt with why the pornography use has happened in the first place.
In this episode, I want to share with you a very clear way to identify what issues are still unresolved so you can work through them directly.
Once you do, the triggers and temptations will naturally dissipate, which enables you to feel freedom and peace instead of having to keep your guard up.
For therapy with Sam:
I will work with you for 12 weeks to help you eliminate pornography use and the root cause that started it.
If after the 12 weeks you haven’t fully been able to quit, I’ll work with you 1-1 for free until you do.

Initiating conversations can be very difficult for a husband to do.
If his wife is in a good mood, he doesn’t want to bring up the pain all over again.

In this episode, I share with you specific ways you can address this situation so you can have very productive conversations without fighting and create closure and connection again in the relationship.

It's very easy for men to switch one bad coping mechanism (pornography) for another (food, video games, social media, TV, etc.).
Some people might see those things as far less harmful, so they allow themselves to do it.
However, swapping different coping mechanisms is actually really bad because the root of the issue remains unresolved, which sets you up to continue to spiral.
Why does this happen and how can we avoid it?
Check out the today's episode and get solutions to resolve this problem.
