Urges for p**nography can feel really hard to resist.

Surprisingly, most men don’t relapse because of cravings…

They relapse because of one hidden emotional trigger no one talks about.

I’m a therapist—and I created a free tool that helps you find the real reason behind your urges (in under 5 minutes), and how to resolve it.

Quitting isn't a character flaw – if you can't follow through on something, many times quitting is a symptom of a lack of belief.

Instead of working on not quitting, focus on developing a belief in yourself and that you can succeed despite failing.

Potential, by definition, is unachieved possibilities.

Was Jesus tempted by p**nography?

According to the Bible he was.

Po*******hy is just another form of s*xual temptation, and in Hebrews 4:15 it says He was tempted "in every respect as we are."

So you're in good company if you're tempted by this as well.

In His mercy, he's given us many ways to get help and support.

In this post, I share 2 of them.

Not sure where to start and want some additional tools on top of those?

Here is a podcast episode that walks you through the 5 most important steps for you to quit p**n and never go back:

P**n: a neuroscientist speaks out against it.

Your brain takes a massive hit when you watch p**nography.

It's a VERY potent stimulus which hijacks your dopamine system.

What does that mean for you?

When your dopamine crashes after you watch p**n, it decreases your mood and motivation in life.

It leaves you feeling empty, and you need more and more p**n to give you the same 'high' you felt when you watched it.

Not to mention any of the other consequences in your relationship or marriage –

Your wife completely loses trust in you
You feel guilt and shame carrying secrets and not telling her
She feels inadequate and betrayed
And it leads to fighting and frustration, which doesn't feel good for anyone

When you make quitting p**n a focus, EVERYTHING in your life improves.

As a therapist, the men that I work with report feeling:

Much more confident
Higher self-esteem
Peace without carrying secrets
No fear when their wife picks up their phone
They can look people in the eyes and not feel shame
A greater sense of satisfaction and fulfillment
Excitement as they reach their goals
They make more money due to increased focus and productivity
And their relationships are so much better with others

Quitting p**n will literally change your life.

Don't give up.

John first came to me after trying numerous self-help techniques, the latest being the rubber band method.

This method, taught by experts in the field, involved snapping a rubber band on the wrist whenever an urge arose, a physical reminder to break the cycle of addiction.

Initially, John believed he had found the solution, a simple yet effective way to control his urges.

But as the weeks went by, I noticed a growing frustration in John.

The rubber band method was proving to be a double-edged sword, providing temporary relief but failing to address the underlying issues.

During our sessions, John would often come in with red marks on his wrist, a testament to the physical and emotional toll the method was taking on him.

I could see the desperation in John's eyes, a longing for a solution that would bring lasting change.

It was clear that the rubber band method was merely a band-aid solution, failing to heal the deep emotional wounds that fueled his addiction.

As his therapist, I knew it was time to shift the focus from suppressing urges to understanding them.

I introduced John to a new perspective, one that viewed urges not as the enemy but as messengers bringing vital information necessary for quitting p**n for good.

Together, we explored the roots of his habit.

John began to understand that his struggle stemmed from feelings of low self worth and depression.

He realized that the rubber band method was merely addressing the symptoms, not the cause.

Together, we worked to heal these wounds, to find holistic solutions that addressed the root causes of his addiction.

With each step, he grew stronger, more resilient.

He learned to forgive himself, to embrace his imperfections, to love himself unconditionally.

The man who once relied on a rubber band to control his urges was now learning to navigate his emotions with grace and wisdom.

He was learning to listen to his inner voice, to understand the messages his urges were bringing.

John's story is a powerful reminder that true healing comes from understanding, not suppression.

Billie Eilish says this about p**n surprisingly.

If you're a celebrity, do you think that p**nography affects you differently?

Short answer:

No.

Why?

Because we are not meant to view p**nography, especially the type that is available today.

It's so much more graphic and extreme that it causes us to reshape how we see s*x and ourselves.

It creates feelings of low self-esteem, guilt, and comparison in a way that we never win...

If you're stuck in the loop of p**nography and haven't been able to break the habit, you're not alone.

Not sure where to start? Here is a podcast episode that walks you through the 5 most important steps for you to quit p**n and never go back:

Rehash the past in your relationship again?

Here's the reason why:

When pain isn't acknowledged and validated, it remains.

Time doesn't heal it like you think it does.

So if you or your spouse keep bringing up the past, continuing to avoid the conversation or explain yourself will only keep you stuck.

Instead, have a conversation where you can share and address your pain and have your partner respond with compassion.

That's the only way to heal a hurt from the past.

P**n causes men to fantasize about women.

But is there a difference between finding another person attractive vs fantasizing about them?

I believe there is.

Noticing somebody is attractive happens automatically.

But fantasizing about somebody requires a man to indulge in the thought and play out a situation in his mind.

When that happens, activates the dopamine system in the brain which leads a man down the rabbit hole, and many times towards p**nography.

What impact have you seen this type of behavior have in the lives of those around you?

Productive conversations can repair your marriage after p**n addiction has damaged it.

If your marriage has been impacted by p**nography, it destroys the foundation of your relationship.

It can feel completely overwhelming, confusing, shocking, and hopeless.

So often it completely redefines the relationship in a way that many couples don't make it through?

Why?

Because they get stuck and aren't able to heal together by having productive conversations.

As I do therapy with couples, the people who are most successful develop the ability to have difficult conversations.

One of the easiest ways to learn a new skill is to have guidance and direction.

Using these conversation starters that have been carefully crafted to help repair damage after p**nography is one of the best ways to take steps towards healing and closure.

Most people avoid difficult conversations because they spiral out of control, there's defensiveness and anger, and a lack of resolution and closure.

Using these prompts can help you avoid those pitfalls so you can actually make progress together and feel more connected, understood, and motivated to keep taking steps.

If you want 75 more expertly created prompts to help you have better conversations together, just DM me the word "REPAIR" and I'll send you the rest of them for free.

P**n use deeply affects a woman.

Especially if she didn't know her has been was struggling for years in secrecy.

In fact, an overwhelming number of women feel cheated on and betrayal upon discovering her husband watches p**n.

A woman's reaction can be grouped into one of five categories, and sometimes she feels all of them:

1. Anger

Anger is a normal response to pain and hurt.

It's a fight or flight response.

And it can often come out with intensity because of how much pain there is underneath it.

2. Shock

So many women reevaluate their entire relationship and wonder what is real and what is not.

Everything can feel like a lie when something this big is discovered.

3. Inadequacy

Most women don't feel good enough as they think about the others he has been watching.

They feel like no matter what they do they'll never measure up, which is discouraging and sad.

4. Depression

A sense of hopelessness and a loss of control sets in, which causes depression and heaviness of heart.

5. Responsible

Many women mistakenly think that their husbands problem is their fault.

They wonder if they weren't being a good enough wife, weren't s*xy or attractive enough, or reflect on all of their own inadequacies, which amplifies the other 4 reactions.

I created a podcast episode to help women work through the painful emotions of this process and I offered tools and direction to help them find some stability and a path forward to healing:
