36 - Live interview with “Dovid”

Dovid grew up in Southern California as the middle child in a family of eleven. His mother died when he was only seven. He was sexually abused at a young age which led to struggles with unwanted same sex attraction since he was about twelve. He's done a significant amount of healing and recovery work, including participation in Jewish programs as well as Programs within Brothers Road along with counseling with Guard Your Eyes, a Jewish organization that helps people who struggle with porn addiction. Dovid is also finishing up his Masters of social work  You can contact Dovid via Guard Your Eyes at [email protected] If you would like to join us for future LIVE podcast events, learn more at:  PolarLifeConsulting.com/live Links mentioned during the episode: Brothers Road (multi-faith-based group helping adult men with unwanted same sex attraction) and their weekend retreats: JiM - Jounrey Into Manhood JC - Journey Continues JB - Journey Beyond Guard Your Eyes - organization helping Jewish men and women find freedom from porn addiction.
