Podcasts about porn addiction

This is a hard talk, but we're done tiptoeing. Porn isn't “harmless” or “normal.” It's a celebrated sin that is crushing confidence, destroying intimacy, tearing apart marriages and families, and infiltrating the church. In this episode, I lay out the truth—what Scripture says about lust and adultery, why masturbation is not “self-care,” how OnlyFans disguises exploitation as empowerment, and how porn addiction rewires the brain, fuels infidelity, and opens the door to spiritual bondage. This is more than a habit problem. It's spiritual warfare—and Jesus sets captives free. We'll look at current data (Barna, OnlyFans), expose the six cultural lies about porn, and talk plainly about deliverance, real repentance, and how to close demonic doors and reclaim your mind, marriage, and calling. No shame—just conviction, truth, and the hope of the Gospel.      

Host Steve Cuss sits down with Matt Wenger for a candid conversation about addiction, intimacy, and healing. Together, they unpack the complexities of sexual addiction, the ripple effects it has on loved ones, and why recovery is best understood as a "team sport." Matt highlights the power of vulnerability, group support, and true intimacy as antidotes to the false connections addiction promises. Steve and Matt also shine a light on betrayal trauma experienced by partners, offering hope, empathy, and pathways toward healing for everyone impacted.

In Celebrate Recovery two foundational practices and guidelines we follow to ensure safety are anonymity and confidentiality. Why does Celebrate Recovery honor these two important practices? Is it just for small groups and how does that apply to outside the small group setting or even in the public setting and community? In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through some things to consider as we honor others' dignity over our curiosity and/or desire to share through anonymity and confidentiality for the overall safety of our ministry.

Send us a text- On-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreRemember our foundational question: 'Do you enter a conversation to be understood or to understand?'Communication is like a bicycle wheel. Picture the two of you riding along the road to your destination, but not getting very far because both wheels on your tandem bicycle are buckled. You will get to your destination, but not very fast and it is taking more effort to cover the distance. Now let's remove one of the bicycle wheels and take a look at what we have in front of us. We can view the hub in the middle and call it “communication”. The hub needs to be tight and work well, because attached to it are the spokes. The spokes are various life issues that we all face. Life will throw up lots of stuff that we have to deal with.Those spokes (or life issues) can be negotiated around and got over much better by the two of you where the hub (communication) is tight and working well for the two of you. How do we tighten the hub so that it keeps the spokes tightly attached to it and stop the wheel warping and hindering progress? The intention is to tighten up the hub so that when communication is working much better for the two of you, both of you can better tackle life issues. Let us look at the features of Communication. It includes body posture, gestures (such as head nods), facial expression, eye contact, physical proximity, appearance, style of speech, tone and volume of voice, words (and the different meanings they may have to you) and physical contact (such as hand shakes). Remember cultural differences and word nuances! The intention is that when therapy comes to an end, armed with new communication skills, each is better equipped to tackle those spoke issues which life will continue to throw up. Improved communication skill is a life skill which works in the home, work, gym or wherever interaction with another takes place.Sometimes we need to think outside of the box. Often we need a little help to see how we restrict our own thinking!  Get some help from The Kairos Centre. See what you cannot see.

Discovering that your child is addicted to pornography can leave you feeling shocked, betrayed, and unsure of what to do next. The swirl of emotions—anger, grief, confusion—makes it hard to know how to respond without damaging your relationship. You don't have to face this alone. In this episode of The Bridge Between Us Podcast, Melinda Patrick sits down with Barb Winter of Hopeful Mom to offer practical wisdom and biblical encouragement for parents walking through this painful reality. Together, we'll walk you through: What to do in the first moments — pause, pray, and process before responding. Understanding betrayal trauma — how your child's choices impact your emotions and relationship. Turning confrontation into conversation — how to create ongoing, open dialogue with your child. Steps toward healing — practical ways to foster connection, rebuild trust, and move forward in hope.

What if your sexual fantasies weren't the enemy, but the key to your healing?In this powerful episode of the No More Desire Podcast, I sit down with my friend and fellow recovery leader Drew Boa, author of Outgrow Porn, to uncover what your sexual fantasies are really trying to tell you—and how to use them as a surprising pathway to heal porn addiction.Most men believe that the way to stop porn is more willpower, more discipline, more accountability. But neuroscience and psychology show something radically different: porn addiction is never about porn. It's about unresolved fear, shame, and grief—what Drew calls the “three great sexualizers.” When these emotions go unprocessed, they surface sexually in the form of specific fantasies, fetishes, and cravings.Instead of battling your sexuality, it's time to befriend it. In this episode, Drew and I dive deep into:The difference between arousal vs desire—and why separating them is key to porn addiction recovery.How to process your sexual fantasies without shame and discover the good desires underneath.Why parts work (Internal Family Systems) is one of the most powerful tools for porn recovery.The role of embodiment, vulnerability, and spiritual connection in lasting freedom.Why self-compassion, not self-hatred, is the real key to outgrowing porn.I share some of my own raw, personal experiences in this episode, including the way my childhood wounds shaped my arousal template—and how facing them with courage transformed my recovery.If you've ever wondered why your sexual fantasies seem so powerful, or how to move beyond the purge-binge cycle into true healing, this conversation will open your eyes and give you practical tools for your recovery journey.Listen in and learn how to:Decode what your fantasies are really revealing about your story.Heal the underlying wounds of fear, shame, and grief.Experience freedom not by fighting yourself, but by listening with compassion.This isn't just about quitting porn. This is about becoming the man you were created to be—whole, connected, and free.Head to outgrowporn.com to get Drew Boa's new book Outgrow Porn for 25% off using coupon code NOMOREDESIRE.

In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I'm joined by Coach Yeadon as we dive into one of the most important and often overlooked parts of the recovery journey—what we in the rooms call “The Bubble.” It's that foggy mental space where logic disappears, the addict voice takes over, and we end up doing things we swore we'd never do again. We unpack a heartbreaking real-life story about a father whose compulsive behavior led to a devastating moment of neglect—one that could've ended in tragedy. It was a powerful reminder for both of us of where this path can lead when left unchecked. From there, we explore how our inner dialogue—when left unspoken—can talk us into relapse, and how visibility and brotherhood are the keys to real transformation. Top 10 Show Highlights: [01:00] The story of a father's addiction gone too far—and the tragic consequences that followed. [03:49] Why addiction isn't just about impulse—but deep emotional wounds left unaddressed. [07:09] Introduction to “The Bubble”—a dissociative state where clear thinking disappears. [08:40] How rationalizing thoughts lead men to break their own values. [10:33] What it feels like to be “in the bubble”—and how time distortion plays a role in relapse. [12:27] Why men constantly think they're the exception—and how that keeps them stuck. [15:31] The addict voice that shows up like a friend—and how to spot its deception. [17:46] How visibility and community support lead to clarity, healing, and power. [19:21] Why emotional awareness is essential—and how most men were never taught it.

When a partner reaches the heartbreaking point of saying, “I love him, but I feel I'm losing myself,” the question of staying or leaving becomes urgent. After 21 years of repeated betrayal, secrecy, and broken promises, one woman wonders how long she can endure the cycle. This PBSE episode (#296) unpacks that struggle, emphasizing that being lured back by charm is not weakness but love—and also highlighting how charm without change is manipulation and emotional abuse.We examine the addict's cycle of secrecy, discovery, promises, and relapse, and show how it traps both partners in a destructive spin. From the partner's perspective, the cost of staying has shifted from compromise to self-abandonment. Using analogies like a failing business merger or an overdrawn bank account, we frame the critical question: at what point does loyalty become losing yourself? The markers include lack of honesty, no accountability, and the erasure of authentic identity.Ultimately, partners must find clarity through boundaries, safe support, and honest reflection. Journaling, support groups, and evaluating whether growth or disappearance defines the relationship can provide direction. While ending a marriage is always a tragedy, the greater tragedy is staying in one where you are erased. The message is clear: you are worth safety, truth, and love—whether inside this relationship or beyond it.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   When Loving Him Means Losing Me—Do I Stay or Go?!Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

One of the ways that the enemy will keep us from moving forward is through the conniving tactic of comparison. In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through some of the ways that the enemy will use comparison to take us off mission and prevent us from living out and celebrating our recovery. Listen in as he walks through some of the things to be aware of, but also ways that we can guard our heart to prevent comparison from taking us out.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man podcast, Coach Frank Rich shares the exact 3-step process he used to overcome a 20-year pornography addiction and the same framework that has helped countless men reclaim their freedom, rebuild their confidence, and step into a life of purpose.   Porn isn't the problem, it's the symptom. Real change begins the moment you draw a line in the sand, commit to becoming the man God created you to be, and stop letting your emotions control your actions. In this conversation, Frank breaks down how to make that decision, build a new identity, and reframe setbacks as stepping stones to growth.   If you've tried filters, apps, and willpower but keep finding yourself stuck, this episode will give you the clarity and strategy you've been missing.   Expect to Learn: Why porn addiction is rooted in emotional escape, not just lust.   The simple first step that separates men who stay stuck from those who break free.   How to build a new identity with daily non-negotiables that reinforce discipline.   Practical tools for regulating emotions without running to porn.   Why setbacks aren't failure and how to use them to grow stronger.   The power of brotherhood and accountability in achieving lasting freedom.   Why isolation breeds shame… and how connection unlocks healing.   Key Takeaways: Porn addiction is often a symptom of deeper emotional issues.   Real freedom starts with a firm, unshakable decision.   Identity change,  not willpower,  is the foundation of transformation.   Daily non-negotiables help lock in the new identity.   Setbacks should be seen as data, not defeat.   Brotherhood is the antidote to isolation and shame.     Ready to take the first step toward true freedom?   Join the FREE 7 Day Porn Reset today and get a complimentary week inside The Brotherhood — your community of men committed to walking this journey with you.   ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

It is costly. It values the other person. It is learned and must be practiced. There is a difference between hearing and listening. Listening means that the information stops in the brain and is processed and digested. When information is not digested, then you will find you did not really listen to it and take it in and it quickly is forgotten. Five types of poor listeners: 1. The advisor: instead of seeking to understand and empathise, they will want to sort out the problem by proposing a fix it. Sometimes the person who has spoken, only wanted to be heard and listened to without a solution. We men can struggle with that. What – no advice wanted! 2. The interrupter: whilst a person is speaking, they are already working out a reply and interrupt when they think they have the answer, before all is shared. Whilst the brain is working out the reply they are not truly listening. Sometimes we are not aware that we interrupt each other. 3. The reassurer: is a person who perhaps interrupts prematurely and gives advice that may belittle what has been said. For example, “It'II be OK”.4. The rationaliser: that person focuses on explaining why the other feels the way they do. The replies may actually totally miss the point. 5. The deflector: perhaps feels uncomfortable with the subject matter and instead of commenting on the issue, moves the conversation off into a different arena. Often ends up talking more about themself.Sometimes we cannot see it. Sometimes we need some help to see it. Sometimes the constraints are self-imposed. Sometimes we need to remove the shackles from our own minds so that we can think outside of the box.  We can teach our brains to say the right things, but our heart can betray us. In other words, whilst we are saying what we have rehearsed in our minds, our body language could be giving off a very different impression and contradict our spoken words!  The other person is likely to detect that we are not really listening and feel devalued. Repeatedly devaluing the other person, causes core emotional needs to be depleting. Fight and/or flight will start to come out as they seek to get those needs met elsewhere.Get some help from The Kairos Centre. See what you cannot see.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   You don't get free from porn by white-knuckling it. You don't get free by deleting apps, blocking websites, or just trying harder. Those things might stop the behavior for a little while, but if you don't dig up the root, the weed will always grow back.   In today's episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank is pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful assignments from our Reboot Your Life program, the same system that has helped over 1,700 men break free from porn for good.   Coach Frank is going to  walk you through 7 questions every man must answer if he's serious about freedom. These questions will help you uncover why porn became your drug of choice, what pain it's really medicating, and how to finally stop fighting symptoms and start healing the root.     Expect to Learn Why porn isn't the real problem… it's only a symptom of deeper wounds   How identity transformation leads to freedom (not behavior modification)   The 7 root-exposing questions that reveal why you keep going back to porn   How triggers, patterns, and emotions create the cycle that keeps men stuck   The hidden connection between porn and trauma, mental health, and negative self-beliefs   Why true healing begins with brutal honesty and brotherhood   The 7 Root Questions When did you first start using porn? Get clear on the circumstances, emotions, and guilt of that first exposure. What specific triggers lead you to urges? Stress, conflict, boredom… identify what you're medicating. What patterns exist in your consumption? Time of day, environments, and habits reveal where you lack discipline. How do you feel before, during, and after porn? Learn to recognize the emotional cycle that fuels the addiction. Have life events or trauma fueled your porn use? Childhood wounds, rejection, divorce; the addiction didn't appear in a vacuum. Are underlying mental health struggles connected? Anxiety, depression, PTSD,  porn becomes your “medicine” when these go unhealed. What negative beliefs or self-perceptions feed your addiction? Lies like “I'm unworthy of love” or “I'll always fail” reinforce the cycle.   Final Takeaway Freedom starts when you stop fighting the leaves and start digging up the roots.

This episode (#295) examines the devastating impact of a husband who weaponized pornography and withheld intimacy as punishment for his wife not meeting his “ideal” body standard. Over two decades, his rejection inflicted a “self-esteem massacre,” leaving her questioning how she could ever recover. We identify this behavior as rooted in immaturity, selfishness, and abuse, making clear that true love cannot coexist with manipulation, blame, and objectification.On the husband's side, recovery requires full accountability for the betrayal, exploration of the underlying reasons for his actions, and professional support to overcome blind spots. He must rewire his arousal template away from pornography's objectification, learn to value his wife as a whole person, and proactively pursue her through consistent, tangible actions of empathy and repair. Without ongoing accountability and amends, there is no foundation for rebuilding trust.For the partner, healing means cultivating self-worth independent of him, setting clear boundaries, and building a support network outside the marriage. She must find her authentic voice to name her needs, articulate the impact of his actions, and decide what is safe and healthy for her future. The article closes with affirmation: she did not cause this, she does not deserve it, she cannot fix him, and she remains inherently valuable and lovable regardless of his choices.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   My Partner uses Porn to Punish Me for Not Losing Weight.

One of the ways that the enemy will get us off focus in the path of recovery is through discouragement. What are some ways that he will use discouragement to sidetrack us and get us off course from the mission and focus of living out Recovery? In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through some of those things to be aware of and ways that we can guard our heart to stay the course in our recovery journey.

Pornography isn't just present in our culture—it's pervasive. The average age of first exposure is 11 for boys, and around 12–13 for girls. About 67% of men and 41% of women view porn at least occasionally. Even in the church, over half of practicing Christians admit to using it, and 67% of pastors have struggled with it—18% currently. The biggest issue? 82% of Christians say no one is helping them. This isn't just a "worldly" issue—it's a tsunami hitting the church. But porn thrives in silence. So, we need to talk about it honestly, embracing the "messy middle"—holding two truths in tension:Porn is an addictive sin that devastates families.Porn is a shortcut that numbs our God-given desires for pleasure and intimacy.1. Porn is an addictive sin.Scripture clearly calls out sexual immorality (porneia) as sin (Colossians 3:5). Porn objectifies people and becomes idolatry—worshiping creation over the Creator. It's not just spiritually harmful; it's mentally and emotionally addictive, rewiring the brain and damaging relationships (1 Cor. 6:18).How it devastates families:Hurts your family tree: Trauma and addiction can leave epigenetic footprints passed to future generations (Exodus 34:7).Creates unrealistic expectations: Porn fosters dissatisfaction with real-life partners and intimacy (Ecclesiastes 9:9).Harms children: Young girls wrestle with distorted self-worth, while boys absorb years of misinformation about sex before marriage.Exploits performers: Many in the industry suffer mental health issues and traumatic backgrounds. Watching porn often means consuming someone else's pain.2. Porn numbs God-given desires.God created us with desires for pleasure and intimacy, but porn offers counterfeit versions—pleasure without fulfillment, intimacy without connection (Proverbs 27:20). Porn silences but never satisfies. People don't view porn because they're bad, but because they've let it hijack their desires.Freedom is possible. The battle plan: Repent, Replace, and Relate.Repent – Turn from sin and toward God (Acts 3:19).Replace – Remove access to porn and renew your mind (Romans 12:2, Matthew 5:29). Married couples should embrace real intimacy (1 Corinthians 7:2-5).Relate – Build accountability with others (James 5:16) and deepen your walk with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Don't deny your desires—let Jesus redeem them.SummaryPorn traffics in pleasure without purpose and intimacy without love. But Jesus offers real freedom—not just forgiveness, but power to overcome.

Let's focus on 'Communication'."The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them." — Ralph Nichols. Communication is way more than words that come out of mouths. Do you enter conversations to be understood or is it to understand. Very different styles and approach?Communication is like a bicycle wheel. Picture the two of you riding along the road to your destination, but not getting very far because both wheels on your tandem bicycle are buckled. You will get to your destination, but not very fast and it is taking more effort to cover the distance. Now let's remove one of the bicycle wheels and take a look at what we have in front of us. We can view the hub in the middle and call it 'communication'. The hub needs to be tight and work well, because attached to it are the spokes. The spokes are various life issues that we all face. Life will throw up lots of stuff that we have to deal with. Those spokes or life issues can be negotiated around and got over much better by the two of you where the hub (communication) is tight and working well for the two of you. How do we tighten the hub so that it keeps the spokes tightly attached to it and stop the wheel warping and hindering progress? The intention is to tighten up the hub so that when communication is working much better for the two of you, both of you can better tackle life's issues. There is a difference between Men & Women! Men really are from Mars and women are from Venus.Get some help from The Kairos Centre. See what you cannot see.

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday

When I was stuck in porn addiction, I kept hearing the same advice: “Just be more positive. Believe in yourself. Visualize your freedom.” But here's the problem—positive thinking alone doesn't heal porn addiction. In fact, it often makes things worse.In this episode, I dive deep into the psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality of why forcing yourself to “just think positive” can actually increase shame, suppress your real emotions, and fuel relapse. We'll talk about the trap of toxic positivity, the failure of the “law of attraction” in recovery, and why pretending to be fine when you're hurting only keeps you stuck in the cycle of cravings.Instead, I'll show you a mindset shift that actually works: facing your pain head-on, learning to process negative thoughts and emotions honestly, and using practical tools to rewire your brain for long-term recovery. You'll discover why the real solution isn't blind positivity—it's courageous presence.We'll cover:The psychology of toxic positivity and why suppressing pain drives porn useThe neuroscience of stress, dopamine, and why fake positivity backfiresThe spiritual truth that freedom comes not from escaping pain, but transforming itA simple recovery exercise to ground yourself in reality and break free from cravingsIf you've ever felt frustrated that positive thinking isn't working—or worse, that it's made you feel more ashamed—this episode will help you see the path forward with clarity and hope.Porn recovery isn't about “positive vibes only.” It's about building the strength to face reality with courage and rewire your mind for freedom.Blog Article for this EpisodeFree ResourcesGrab my Free eBook and Free Workshop for more strategies to overcome porn addiction, rewire your brain, and rebuild your life.Recommended Episodes: How Negative Thinking Fuels Porn AddictionThe Subtle Lies that Keep You RelapsingAddiction, Identity, and the Illusion of Brokenness (with Jason Shiers)Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showNo More Desire

Timothy was a lazy, phony Christian, cheating husband, absent father and porn addict. Timothy said yes to Jesus at a young age but walked away from a faith with shallow roots. He searched for meaning in life everywhere but God. He self-medicated and covered up who he really was, until he realized he couldn't stop his fake life on his own. “ I know this is wrong. I don't want to do this. I don't want to be hurting myself, hurting my wife, hurting my family, but I couldn't overcome it because of that sin that lived within me. It took repenting and laying those burdens down at the foot of Jesus at the cross.”  God would take him through change with Timothy kicking and screaming all the way. He now uses his own experience to lead other men overcome their addictions, save their marriages, and become better, stronger, Godly men. Helpful Links:Timothy's BlogTimothy's Book, Men of Grit: Into the WildernessTimothy's Book, Living Porn Free Help for Men Trapped in Porn AddictionFocus on the Family sexual brokenness resourcesThe Freedom FightXXXChurch, helps you overcome pornLet us know what you thought of the show!Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

This is PBSE Episode 295—When betrayal trauma collides with a history of childhood sexual abuse, partners often feel doubly overwhelmed, carrying both the scars of the past and the pain of the present. Silence, a survival strategy from childhood, often resurfaces in marriage, leaving betrayed partners afraid to voice their needs for fear of conflict or abandonment. But silence only deepens the trauma. Healing begins when partners reclaim their voices, practicing authentic expression of their feelings and needs without falling into nagging or control. Pressure, when it comes from truth and transparency, is not harmful—it can be the very catalyst that sparks real change in the addicted spouse.For betrayed partners, it is equally vital to build strong outside support systems—through therapy, 12-step groups, trusted friends, or recovery programs—that provide safety and perspective when their spouse cannot. This network enables them to “dial back” intimacy in unsafe moments, protecting themselves while remaining authentic and ready to re-engage when conditions improve. Boundaries and outside support affirm their worth and help them separate their healing from their partner's recovery.Addicts, for their part, must wake up and embrace full accountability. Complacency, secrecy, or half-hearted efforts only reinforce old wounds and destroy trust. Healing requires daily transparency, empathy, and proactive recovery work, not only to restore safety for the partner but also to live in integrity and peace. Though the journey is complex and painful, when both partners commit to these principles, the relationship can move beyond mere survival toward deeper connection, authenticity, and lasting healing.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  Healing for Betrayed Partners with a Sexually Abusive Past (PART 2)Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Sometimes submitting to the process to go deeper can be scary. Why do we fight change and why is it so scary to discover the roots of the dysfunction in our life that's leading to unhealthy patterns? What does it look like to embrace change versus fighting change? In this episode join Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, and Andy Petry, Landing Director of Celebrate Recovery as they discuss the value of clinging to Jesus instead of wrestling and fighting with him as he brings change to our life.

Is porn anti-feminist? As a recovering feminist — my answer is yes. But the truth goes deeper: porn is anti-human.I'm Dr. Trish Leigh — cognitive neuroscientist and author of Mind Over Explicit Matter. When I spoke on Jubilee's Middle Ground with porn performers, I stood up for this: porn isn't empowerment — it's exploitation. Too many performers are groomed into the industry because they lack real education and support.Education is empowerment — that's why I'm here. To help you break porn's grip on your brain, your connection, your intimacy, and your humanity. Everything I share is backed by neuroscience, real data, and decades of study.

Welcome to Ask Paul Tripp, a weekly podcast from Paul Tripp Ministries where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp answers your questions, connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.In today's episode, Paul addresses a difficult question from a teenager struggling with pornography: “If I feel no guilt or brokenness over my sin, is there still hope for me?”If you have a question you'd like to ask Paul, you can email ask@paultripp.com or submit it online at PaulTripp.com/Ask.Whiter Than Snow: Meditations on Sin and MercyPaulTripp.com/WhiterSex in a Broken World: How Christ Redeems What Sin DistortsPaulTripp.com/Sex

In Episode 293, Mark ands Steve address how childhood sexual abuse is a form of complex trauma that imprints deeply on a survivor's understanding of love, trust, and sexuality. It often distorts sexual norms, blurs boundaries between consent and compliance, and creates lasting confusion around intimacy. Survivors may develop insecure attachment styles—avoidant, anxious, or disorganized—and struggle with either extreme sexual avoidance or sexualized attempts to gain connection and worth. These patterns are not merely psychological; they are wired into the brain's emotional memory systems, shaping relationships for decades.When betrayal trauma occurs in adulthood, the impact is often magnified for survivors of early abuse. The discovery of infidelity or sexual betrayal can reawaken old wounds, undermining not just trust in the current relationship but in people in general. Past reconciliations with abusers or protectors may unravel, and hypervigilance can take over—making the world feel unsafe at every turn. This compounded trauma is not simply about the betrayal itself; it's about the way the betrayal mirrors and magnifies the earliest, most damaging experiences in the survivor's life.Understanding these intersections is critical for both survivors and their partners—especially those in addiction recovery. Naming these patterns removes the mystery behind overwhelming emotional reactions, replacing self-blame or confusion with clarity. For the unfaithful partner, it deepens awareness of the harm caused and the seriousness of the recovery work ahead. For the survivor, it creates a foundation for informed healing—making it possible to separate past from present and begin rebuilding trust and safety in a deliberate, compassionate way.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: The Impact of a Sexually Abusive Childhood on a Betrayed Partner (Part 1)Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

We draw from some of our personal experiences and share our opinions about how big of an impact this nasty habit can have. Join us as we jump into one of the most spicy subjects we have ever discussed!

When I was deep in my porn addiction, I thought the biggest problem I had was desire. But over time, I discovered the real enemy was the constant storm of negative thinking in my own head—shame, self-doubt, anxiety, and a relentless inner critic that kept me trapped in the habit loop.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how negative thinking actively fuels porn addiction, why it's more than just “background noise,” and how it changes your brain in ways that make cravings harder to resist. We'll dive into the psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual truths behind why self-condemnation, all-or-nothing thinking, and emotional reasoning can lock you into relapse cycles—and what to do about it.You'll learn:The psychological impact of shame loops and how they create a self-fulfilling prophecy in addiction.How the brain's negativity bias and stress response prime you to seek quick dopamine from porn.Why most men's internal “motivation” strategies backfire and keep them stuck.The first practical step to rewire your brain and break the craving–relapse pattern.This isn't about pretending everything's fine or replacing negative thoughts with forced positivity. It's about developing the awareness and tools to face painful emotions head-on, dismantle toxic thinking patterns, and reclaim the mental freedom you need for long-term porn addiction recovery.Whether you're looking to quit porn, stop watching porn, or finally break free from years of feeling stuck, this episode will give you a clear and practical starting point.Listen now—and let's start breaking the cycle for good.Blog Article for this EpisodeFree Resources: Grab my Free eBook and Free Workshop for more strategies to overcome porn addiction, rewire your brain, and rebuild your life.Recommended Episodes: The Inner War that Keeps you Addicted to PornWhy Pain, Not Pleasure, Keeps You AddictedMy Real Rock Bottom – Years After I Got SoberSupport the showNo More Desire

This episode (#292) explores the repeated heartbreak many betrayed partners experience when they unknowingly enter relationships with porn or sex addicts, offering both empathy and practical strategies for breaking the cycle. It begins by affirming that betrayal is never the betrayed partner's fault, highlighting how addicts often hide their behaviors through manipulation, secrecy, and even self-denial. The emotional devastation of discovering such betrayal—especially after believing a partner shared your values—is profound, and the first step toward healing is letting go of misplaced self-blame. Support systems such as therapy, 12-step programs, or recovery communities are presented as essential for replacing isolation with understanding, accountability, and informed caution.From there, the discussion moves into proactive ways to protect oneself in future relationships. This includes pacing physical intimacy to avoid neurochemical “fog” that can cloud judgment, learning to spot early red flags such as boundary-pushing or defensiveness, and ensuring that emotional, intellectual, and spiritual intimacy are built before sexual involvement. The article stresses the importance of cultivating self-love and personal security before committing to a partner, which allows for the creation and communication of healthy, non-negotiable boundaries. These boundaries not only help filter out unsafe partners early but also foster transparency and respect in ongoing relationships.Finally, the article underscores the value of doing personal work before pursuing another relationship, particularly exploring attachment patterns, vulnerability to codependency, and habitual overlooking of warning signs. Breaking the cycle doesn't simply mean avoiding addicts—it means becoming someone who won't settle for relationships that compromise their self-worth. The conclusion offers a hopeful vision: while no one can guarantee they'll never be hurt again, self-awareness, intentional boundaries, and strong support networks can ensure that if betrayal does occur, it will be recognized sooner, addressed decisively, and healed from more quickly. At the heart of this approach is the belief that every person deserves a relationship where trust is cherished, respect is mutual, and love is genuine.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  I Keep Finding Myself Hurt In Relationships with Porn/Sex Addicts—How do I Break the Cycle?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Often when we walk into recovery, we experience revelations on how dysfunctional our family system was growing up. Growing up in these family systems we can take on dysfunctional roles that can be helpful to understand why we do what we do, but ultimately move us to do something different in health. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field director of celebrate recovery, will walk us through some common roles and the functions of those roles toward ultimately understanding how celebrate Recovery can bring healing toward a new healthy future.

In response to a powerful message from an 18-year-old listener, Mark and Steve devote this episode to young adults balancing school, mental health, and porn addiction. They applaud the listener's maturity and self-awareness and use his story as a springboard to discuss the foundational concepts of being “accountable” and “responsible.” They emphasize that healing begins with personal ownership and the ability to respond intentionally to life's challenges, even in the face of ADHD, depression, or autism. Instead of viewing these conditions as limitations, they advocate for meeting oneself with compassion and working within real capacities to build healthy routines.The hosts stress the importance of developing a strong “why” and clear vision for one's future—something to guide decisions and anchor motivation when life feels overwhelming. They discuss the power of consistency in self-care, even in small amounts, and the importance of celebrating small wins instead of chasing unrealistic expectations. Mark and Steve also explain how sexual urges are natural and should be reframed as creative energy that can be redirected, especially when emotions like boredom, stress, or loneliness are triggering the urge to escape.They close by urging young adults to invest in meaningful relationships, align their time with their deepest values, and stay connected to supportive communities like 12-step groups or recovery programs such as Dare to Connect. Using practical tools like daily visioning and priority alignment exercises, they encourage listeners to reduce cognitive dissonance and live more authentically. Their message to all struggling young people is clear: you're not alone, you're not broken, and your path to healing is absolutely possible—one small, consistent step at a time.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: Advice for Young Adults Balancing Mental Health, School, Life and Porn Addiction Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

We talk about shame a lot in the recovery process, but what does it look like to have a posture of shamelessness in our share time through open share, small, and step study small groups? Is there a line between being real and reckless? In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack some things to consider when we are sharing in small groups with Celebrate Recovery, and how dangerous it can be moving from a posture of humility, honor, and truth spoken in love to a posture of shamelessness for the sake of shock value or self-promotion.
