The Couples Healing podcast is a resource to help husbands in their porn addiction recovery and to help couples restore the trust and connection again in their marriage. The effects of pornography addiction or sex addiction can be devastating individually and in the relationship, but with the right approach, men can learn how to stop watching porn, heal the pain it causes his wife, and rebuild trust again in the marriage. Each episode is designed to give you new insights, tools, and strategies to help you at each stage of your journey, whether you‘re just now beginning to address the pornography use, or if you‘ve been struggling for many years and still feel stuck. In the podcast, I also share ways for women to feel empowered, safe, and worthy. I also share how the couple can navigate their relationship together after it’s been impacted by pornography and the trust has been broken. Join me, Sam Tielemans, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, as I share my expertise and knowledge to help you find freedom, peace, confidence, connection, and hope.

Thursday Apr 17, 2025
Struggling with porn use isn't about who you are—it's about the approach you've been using. Fighting urges after they appear is too late.
The key is learning skills to prevent the first domino from falling. When you handle what causes porn use before urges start, freedom becomes possible.
In this 3-part series, I'll cover skills to overcome porn use, rebuild relationships, and implement these changes effectively.
Today's episode shares five core skills for men to break free. For women listening, seeing your partner work on these will bring you peace.
Focus on what happens before the urge, not just on avoiding slips. True recovery means addressing what occurs five steps before temptation begins.
