    You made it 30… 60… maybe even 90 days, and then you relapsed.In this episode of Inner Revolution, we break down why relapse often happens after a strong start in recovery from porn. It’s not about weakness.

From brain chemistry to emotional regulation and intimacy, we explore what porn does really well, and what it can slowly replace.This isn’t about morality.It’s about understanding your nervous system, your habits, and what you actually need.Schedule a FREE consultation HERE

    55. The Root Cause Won't Fix You: What Does it Take to Overcome Pornography?

    ou’ve probably heard that if you can just identify the root cause of pornography use, trauma, loneliness, attachment wounds, anxiety, then the problem will go away. And while understanding the root is important, it’s rarely enough to create lasting change. In this episode of the Inner Revolution, we talk about why insight alone doesn’t heal compulsive pornography habits—and what actually does. When a behavior has been reinforced for years, your nervous system doesn’t change through understanding; it changes through action, repetition, and learning new ways to regulate discomfort.If you are struggling with pornography, anxiety, depression, or self-worth, you can schedule a free consultation with me here for therapy or coaching: Click Here

    48. For the Betrayed and Addicted: The Reality of Pornography Addiction

  27. 48

    45. Porn and Values: Do Values Actually Matter?

    In this episode, we dive into the reasons behind values. What is their purpose? How can they benefit you when it comes to overcoming pornography addiction? Can they guide you to making better choices, rather than turning to porn to cope with uncomfortable feelings? If so, how? All that and more in this episode!

  30. 45

    44. Pivot 4: Why is mindfulness important?

    When it comes to pornography addiction, mindfulness is key. It's hard to make decisions in your life when it doesn't even feel like you are in this reality. This is why pivot #4 is here!

  31. 44

    43. Pivot 3: Your Observing Self

    Have you ever been really anxious or upset, and you think to yourself, "Why am I so angry right now? This is strange." That is your observing self. Is this something you can always access, this part of you that is not affected by the overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and feelings? When it comes to things like pornography addiction, this is a key pivot. This allows you to take a step back and see the entire picture without getting consumed by cravings and urges. Here is the Self-as-Context handout for some exercises you can try to practice this pivot: Click here

  32. 43

    42. Pivot 2: Acceptance leads to freedom

    This is the second episode in a six-part series where we talk about the six pivots to achieve psychological flexibility. Pivot 2 is a powerful step towards becoming the person you want. It doesn't start by challenging your thoughts or emotions; it starts by accepting them. Psychological flexibility will allow you to live the kind of life you have always wanted. When you are fighting porn addiction, it will allow you to work through an urge or temptation and pivot towards the real you!Acceptance Exercises here

    40. Is Porn Art?

    Let's take a look at this argument around pornography being classified as art. What do you think? Is porn art?

  35. 40

    39. "I don't love myself": Why does that matter?

    In the days of constantly comparing ourselves to others through an online presence, it can be hard to not love yourself for who you are. Even when you are doing your best to live a value-driven life, self-love can be lackluster. Hopefully, in this episode, you can have a better sense of how to love yourself, even when it feels like you can't.

  36. 39

    38. Addicted to porn? Start here.

    We tend to overcomplicate addiction recovery. Addiction is not complicated; it requires consistency. Consistency in doing the small things day in and day out. Most people don't want to hear that, but it's the truth, and it's what works. In this episode, I talk about one place you can start:)

  37. 38

    37. "I am worthless" Is that true?

    Can your self-worth change? Is it based on what you do? In this episode, I talk about the importance of self-worth in recovery. Buckle up!

  38. 37

    36. Cognitive Fusion: Just like eating a Reese's

    When you think of eating a reeses, what happens? You jump on the train of thought and experience what it would be like to eat it. This all happens in a matter of milliseconds. This is why you start to salivate when thinking about eating your favorite foods. We are constantly jumping from train to train in our sea of thoughts. In context of addiction, this means that we can always get off the train when it leads to a potential PMO. It starts with acceptance and acknowledgement:)

  39. 36

    35. Can you cure pxrn addiction?

    There is a misconception in the mental health world surrounding addiction. We tend to think that a specific amount of time without relapse is the end-all be-all with the addiction. However, recovery is a lifelong process. The brain and body will never forget what it was like to view pxrn when you were feeling stressed, sad, mad, etc. We need to treat recovery like our values. It is not a destination, it's a direction.

  40. 35

    34. "How many days can I stay sober" is a waste of time.

    Focusing on time is a waste of time. When it comes to addiction, we tend to focus solely on how many days we have been sober rather than focusing on the things that bring change.

  41. 34

    33. Is it your fault you're addicted?

    If you create a porn dependency from a young age, is it your fault? Let me know your thoughts!

  42. 33

    32. A tragic story that is our reality.

    I want to reiterate that I do not personally know this family or this young man. My intentions are not to shine a bad light on the family. What happened here is tragic, and we need to keep them in our prayers. I want to use this as a catalyst in starting a conversation about normalizing talk around pxrn, sxx, and sexuality in general. We talk about the bad without any of the good. That has to stop.

    30. Wired and Tired: How Screens Affect Your Porn Habits

    In this episode, I talk about the negative affects that screen time can have on your porn habits. Screens are not going away...neither is porn. We need to learn to how to live in a world that runs rampant with both. This episode marks the beginning of your journey toward changing your habits around your phone. Hoorah!

  45. 30

    29. The Process of Change: Why You Are Stuck

    You know what you need to do when it comes to change. In this episode, I talk about some guidlines you can use when working on changing yourself through this process of recovery.

  46. 29

    28. The First Steps to Overcome Porn: You need to ACT

    In this episode, I will review some key principles within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). If you practice and use these tools daily, they will give you a strong foundation for recovery!

  47. 28

    27. Recovery Capital: The Key to a Strong Recovery

    When it comes to recovery, most people don't have a solid base from which to build. A lot of people have a filter on their phones, and that's it. However, when it comes to pornography addiction, the filter alone will not cut it. In this episode, Enoch discusses four key areas in recovery capital that can be strengthened to increase one's chances of recovery.

    26. The Second Arrow: Shame and Guilt in Addiction

    When you PMO, you may struggle with feelings of shame, guilt, and negative self-talk. The Buddhist monks refer to this as the second arrow. These negative experiences are self-inflicted and can become a habit that will drive you deeper into the addiction itself. Becoming aware of this second arrow is one of the first steps that need to take place in the recovery process.

  49. 26

    25. It's Not Your Fault You're Addicted

    This episode goes out to all those who think they are broken, not enough, or feel shame because of where they are at this point in their lives.Most likely, your addiction started when you were fairly young. When you realized this was a problem, it was too late; you were hooked. In this episode, I aim to help you have more empathy and patience with yourself on this road of recovery.

  50. 25

    24. Are You Willing to Quit?

    Before starting the road of recovery, you need to ask yourself, are you willing to quit? In this episode, I talk about three key questions that can help catalyze your recovery process!
