When a man struggles with the pornography addiction, it’s very easy for him to spiral into shame and guilt, which unintentionally can set him back up for another relapse.
In this episode, I share with you some very important research about how much more effective response to mistakes or slips to help propel you forward on the path of being successful.
Self-compassion is often confused with self-licensing, and in the episode, I talk about how a husband can respond to himself in a compassionate way, which reinforces his commitment to overcoming his addiction.
I also share how a wife can respond without giving him license to continue to fall back into the same patterns.

It can be very difficult for a woman to bring her wall down and decide to trust her husband again after there’s been damage due to a pornography addiction or infidelity.
One of the scariest things for her is the possibility of getting hurt again by her husband if he relapses, so it’s easy to keep the guard up. The problem is that the more protected she is behind the wall, progress in the relationship can be negatively impacted.
In this episode, I talk about ways to more comfortably bring the wall down, and how to navigate the fear of getting hurt again.

Most men who are struggling with pornography addiction are really hard on themselves – they see themselves as bad people, unworthy, broken, or failures.
The more somebody is self critical, the more it sets them up to fall right back into the addiction as a way to cope from the pain.
This episode reveals one of the most powerful tools to help change how you see yourself, and stop the self shaming that, contributes to depression, anxiety, and other painful emotions.
