Eddie gives hope that we don't have to have future relationships that are repeats from our past wounded relationships. He shares ten roles of inner children and how addressing them heals past wounds.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"When situations in life activate our emotions, it can be easy to stay on the surface, focusing on what's going on and how we can "fix it." But often, the parts of us being activated aren't above the surface. We have to go deeper. In this episode, Dr. Eddie Capparucci talks about how his Inner Child Model of therapy can give great understanding about how we process difficult and traumatic situations. Eddie is the author of several books, including Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Affects Your Sexual Addiction. Many people in recovery from problematic unwanted or addictive sexual behavior have found that early life experiences affect how they show up in the present. Identifying what type(s) of wounded "inner children" are activated can inform a helpful and compassionate path to healing.Eddie and his wife Teri have a therapy practice in Texas, and have co-authored the book Going Deeper for Betrayed Partners.#eddiecapparucci #abundantlifecounseling #innerchildmodel #innerchildtherapy #goingdeeper #counseling #therapy #childhoodtrauma #gospel #grace #awaken #awakenrecovery #awakenpodcast #whatwereallywant #wwrw #recovery #connection #conversationEddie's books on AmazonEddie's websiteAwaken websiteRoots Retreat Men's IntensiveRoots Retreat Women's WorkshopAwaken Men & Women's support meeting info (including virtual)

Dr. Eddie Capparucci and Tami discuss and answer questions about building confidence in recovery. They describe the coping strategies and layers of hurt that can be found on the pain field, and the four things that have to happen in order for a partner to successfully stay on the pain field in order to work toward recovery and healing. This session was live via SexandRelationshipHealing.com on February 21, 2024.   TAKEAWAYS: [:30] The pain field is a place where both partners are speaking a different language.  [5:03] Emotional dysregulation happens when either partner leaves the pain field.  [7:25] Where does a partner go when they leave the pain field?  [9:10] Why should a partner want to stay on the pain field?  [11:30] Slowing everything down is the starting point for staying on the field.  [13:52] Quiet down the inner child to engage as an adult.  [15:32] Stay present and engaged, then identify the pain point.  [20:32] If you see your spouse moving off the pain field, tell them.  [24:00] The ultimate goal is reconciliation. Getting there will be a process. [27:36] If a man is getting flooded, he needs to take a break.  [32:41] My spouse has a pattern of accidentally physically hurting me or my possessions, is this unconscious resentment?  [37:04] If my spouse needs to take a break, why doesn't he just say so?  [38:12] We just got back together and now I'm experiencing abandonment trauma.  What should I be focusing on to feel healthy?  [41:43] How can I be more attune to my wife's wishes?  [45:20] How important is it that the betrayer be on the pain field? [48:00] What does Dr. Eddie which he had known early in his recovery?  [49:34] My wife gets triggered when I don't check in with her.  Is this normal in recovery?  [51:45] How can I quiet my inner child if I don't believe it's real?  [53:45] My husband doesn't think he's dealing with addiction. How can we navigate recovery?    RESOURCES: Seekingintegrity.com Email Tami: Tami@Seekingintegrity.com Sexandrelationshiphealing.com Intherooms.com Out of the Doghouse: A Step-by-Step Relationship-Saving Guide for Men Caught Cheating, by Robert Weiss Prodependence: Moving Beyond Codependency, by Robert Weiss Sex Addiction 101: A Basic Guide to Healing from Sex, Porn, and Love Addiction, by Robert Weiss Cruise Control: Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men, by Robert Weiss Seeking Integrity Podcasts are produced in partnership with Podfly Productions.    QUOTES “We're not going to do anything perfectly, but if we're willing, we stand a chance.”  “You have to quiet the inner child before the emotions begin to ramp up.”  “If you're not engaged you may as well be on another field.”  “Your infidelity is the cause, but not the core of your spouse's pain.”  “If your partner is totally deflated and depleted, you're not going to get what you're looking for.  You're going to get just the opposite.”  

When dealing with addiction, whether you're addicted to alcohol, drugs, porn, food, or whatever it is, one of the most effective ways to achieve recovery is by going all the way back to your inner child and figuring out what triggers your pain points so you can eventually take mindful action. Author and licensed professional counselor, Eddie Capparucci, who specializes in the treatment of sex and pornography addiction, created the inner child recovery process to help people struggling with addiction. A Vicious Cycle When you start to feel that ugliness within you and you start to say how disgusting you are, that just keeps you in the cycle. You go back to your addiction in order to forget and not feel. And that's the biggest problem.  One of the keys to dealing with sexual pornography addiction, or any addiction for that matter, is learning how to sit with that emotional pain, feel it, and understand that it's not going to kill you no matter how uncomfortable it is. The Impact of Childhood on Trauma For instance, when you have a sense of abandonment, there's fear that people or whoever you bring into your life, are not going to wind up staying, whether they discovered there's something about you that's unlovable, or they're just not reliable people.  There is fear that lives underneath the surface that you try to protect yourself against that fear by keeping people at a distance. And so, you begin to build a wall even with people you become involved with romantically.  You're not going to let them get close to you because if you do, you give them the power to hurt you by leaving. But then if you have a wall up and you don't let them get that close to you, and if in the event they leave you, then it's okay because you can always replace them. The Inner Child Process The inner child process allows people to go deeper so they can identify the emotional childhood pain points that are still being activated today. It provides insight and it helps men understand why they engage in their addictive behaviors. Then they're able to stay one step ahead of their addiction by identifying the core emotional triggers that activate their inner child.  What are the nine different kinds of the inner child? The Bored Child  The Unaffirmed Child  The Unnoticed Child  The Emotionally Void Child  The Lack-of-Control Child  The Entitled Child  The Inferior-Weak Child  The Stressed Child  The Sexually Early/Stimulated/Abused Child In the inner child recovery process, they look at each kind to see which ones they identify with. By recognizing the childhood pain points, they would now understand the triggers that activate those pain points. Then the next step is mindfulness.  Supporting Resources: NovusMindfulLife.com Episode Credits If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

I've heard it said that it takes 10 positive experiences to equal the power of 1 negative experience. If that's true, then it's no wonder shame is running rampant in our lives. And when shame has more power in our lives than the word of God, we begin to question our worth, isolate and numb. And when these become habitual, we're on our way to forming habits around sinful behaviours such as watching porn. This episode was inspired by a powerful approach Shawn Bonneteau learned from Jay Stringer in his famous book "Unwanted". It's the concept of "swimming toward the shark of shame" so we can face, defy and dismantle the lies we believe about ourselves and other people. It's all too common that we hear in the church that there is no condemnation in Christ, but then we realize the church is full of people who are feeling shame about some area of their lives. This doesn't say anything about Jesus, but it certainly says a lot about the approaches we're offering to handle shame. Here you will learn the 4 step blueprint to defying and dismantling shame so you can live in the truth and light of Jesus Christ. We truly believe this is at the heart of one's freedom and abundance as a Christian. If you learn this, I believe you will begin to reclaim what God intended for you. You will begin to thrive in hope, peace and joy... and we desperately want this for you! This is at the heart of recovery from pmo, betrayal trauma, sexual shame and other sexual struggles. No matter if you're single, dating, engaged, married or divorced, there's so much to learn from the word of God and His truth! It's the only way we can truly defy the lies in our life.

Sex addiction is often an intimacy disorder. For many, its roots take hold during the early stages of childhood development when we should be given the instruction and nurturing needed to emotionally bond with others. When this does not happen, we struggle to feel love, or for that matter, feel any emotions. We are emotionally undeveloped. This leaves us lacking the skills and resources needed to emotionally connect on a deeper level. So even if one becomes sexually-sober, if one does not learn to become emotionally developed, relationships will continue to suffer. Often we see this in his inability to comfort a partner during suffering from betrayal trauma. By becoming emotionally developed, we can develop the confidence needed to emotionally connect and be vulnerable. Dr. Eddie Capparucci, author of "Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots," joins Dr. Jake to discuss why sobriety isn't enough and how sex addicts can develop further emotionally.

WHY MEN STRUGGLE TO LOVE  DR. EDDIE CAPPARUCCI PT 2 Dr. Eddie Capparucci is a licensed professional counselor and certified coach. He also is certified in the treatment of Problematic Sexual Behaviors and is the creator of the Inner Child Model for the treatment of sexual and pornography addiction. Among his many clients, Dr. Capparucci has worked with professional athletes including NFL and MLB players and television personalities. He serves as the clinical director for the National Decency Coalition, an organization working with state governments to help limit the access of pornography to minors. His ministry is “Abundant Life Counseling” located in Highlands, NC. He is the author of several books, including https://amzn.to/3MyALRd (“Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Impacts Your Sexual Addiction;”)https://amzn.to/3MtCB5Q (“Removing Your Shame Label: Learning to Break Free of Shame and Feel God's Love”) and his most recent book, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots.”) You've identified 9 inner child symptoms and core emotional triggers. Can you share some of them with us? Explain the term “Emotional Intimacy” and how that relates to sexual addictions or porn addictions… But if someone is in a committed relationship, marriage, etc., aren't they emotionally bonded, to use your term from the book, to their partner? Your most recent book, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots,”) why do you believe this book is so needful at this point in our culture today? The title of your book is, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love,”) so, I guess the question I need to ask is, “Why do men struggle to love?” Is it true that some of this relates back to things that happened in their childhood? Or is that just a popular fallacy? In your book, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love,”) you state your mission is not to “rid men of their destructive behaviors, but instead, to transform their hearts.”  Can you explain how that will help them gain victory over their sexual addictions? With the current internet generation, porn is so accessible as compared to when I was growing up. You used to have to the “five and dime” store and then stand in the aisle and try and look at the girlie magazines without drawing attention.  It's not like that today. Just about anyone and any age can access things that, just can't be described, it's so bad…  How can we avoid all that we are faced with? Can you briefly go over some of the 14 “Blind Spots” men need to overcome in order to emotionally connect to their spouse, significant other, etc., as outlined in your book? What could the consequences be if men fail to connect or emotionally bond with others? Now, this next question can be twisted to mean different things and that is not my intention. But there are many women who dress, let's just say, seductively, on purpose. I know we are focusing here on men struggling with sexual addictions, but what are your thoughts on someone of the opposite sex that strive to plant those thoughts in the minds of men? Do they have some underlying problems similar to the ones you are sharing about men and their sexual addictions? Dr. Capparucci, this is all so interesting – and so needful – in the culture we are living in today. How can someone order a copy of your book, https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots?)” Is it available on Amazon? If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, to seek your services or a referral to someone near them or maybe possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I'll put all of this down in the show notes below. Folks, especially you men out there, admit it. You've seen yourself in some of the things Dr. Capparucci has been discussing today. I know I've seen...

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Eddie Capparucci?” Your wife is responsible for leading you, ultimately to the Lord, right? With your background in the corporate world, how did you get involved in helping to set men free from sexual addictions? You have, more or less, coined the term, “Getting rid of porn addiction by healing the inner child.”  Can you tell us a bit about what that term actually means? You've identified 9 inner child symptoms and core emotional triggers. Can you share some of them with us? Explain the term “Emotional Intimacy” and how that relates to sexual addictions or porn addictions… Folks, especially you men out there, admit it. You've seen yourself in some of the things Dr. Capparucci has been discussing today. I know I've seen myself in some of these things. It's there. It needs to be dealt with. God's Word is there for you. All deliverance is in and through God's Word. But, many, many people, especially men, need the extra help to overcome these types of addictions. I urge you, first, order a copy of Dr. Eddie Capparucci's book https://amzn.to/3EN9APF (“Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots.” ) Drop down into the show notes and click the link right there.

[3:20] Trauma plays a major part in addiction.  [5:10] Sex addiction goes further than just sex. Men with this issue are emotionally undeveloped.  [6:10] Addicts aren't bad people, they're broken people.  [6:20] Are therapists just making bad excuses for an addict's poor behavior?  [9:10] My addict is sober, but they're still a jerk. What's going on?  [11:25] What do you call someone who cheats? Are they considered ill?  [15:00] Addicts are used to running away from their pain and they will take whatever distraction presents itself.  [16:55] How can you help an addict take accountability?  [17:50] Someone struggling with addiction needs to begin to think about their legacy and to tap into a bigger purpose.   [20:00] What happens if someone is just not motivated to get better?  [22:45] Dr. Eddie shares how he works with betrayed spouses who feel unlistened to.  [25:50] Emotional intimacy vs. physical intimacy. What's the difference?  [28:15] So many people aren't taught what emotional intimacy is. [30:40] Dr. Eddie understands he has an avoidant attachment style.

I get very frightened and scared people who can't sit with pain and have found a coping mechanism of escaping.” “The addiction isn't the only piece. It's the whole presentation that you've been giving to the world.” “People who deal with addiction do not know how to sit with emotional discomfort or distress.” “I can tell you all the ways I'm a jerk, but learning how to be different is more of a commitment.”
