In this powerful PBSE conversation (Episode 298), we respond to a listener who vulnerably asked whether he is staying in his marriage out of love—or out of fear and obligation. Three and a half months into the space between Discovery Day and full therapeutic disclosure, he wonders if he can truly love his wife, or if he is staying simply because of the kids, his reputation, or fear of being alone. Mark and Steve normalize these questions and share how fear-based thinking dominates the early stages of recovery, often leaving addicts panicked, frozen, and driven by “shoulds” instead of authentic desire.We discuss how these questions often reflect growth, not failure. Moving from a “me” mindset to a “we” mindset can feel foreign and terrifying, but it is a critical milestone in recovery. We encourage addicts to avoid “future tripping”—trying to predict where they'll be in five, ten, or twenty years—and instead focus on the next right step. We also reframe the partner's question, “Do you really want me?” as a bid for connection and safety, not a demand for a lifetime guarantee.Ultimately, recovery is about gradually putting down the masks, moving out of obligation, and stepping into authentic choice. Relationships will always involve risk, but we are wired for connection, not disconnection. As addicts and partners commit to healing, they return to their natural state of love, intimacy, and collaboration. There are no guarantees about the future, but by staying present, honest, and connected, couples can rebuild a marriage that is chosen—not just endured.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: As a Recovering Porn & Sex Addict, What is Keeping Me in My Marriage?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

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset Most men fail to break free from porn because they keep trying to fight it with willpower alone. But willpower always fades when temptation hits. Napoleon Hill , author of the legendary book Think and Grow Rich said it best: “The starting point of all achievement is desire.” In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank breaks down how Hill's 6-step formula for turning desire into reality can be the exact framework you need to finally quit porn for good. You'll learn how to stop desiring temporary comfort and start building a burning desire for freedom, purpose, and integrity, so strong that porn no longer fits in your life. This isn't about running from temptation. It's about running toward the man God created you to be. If you're tired of relapsing… if you're sick of shame and stuck in the cycle… this episode will show you how to ignite the fire inside you that leads to lasting transformation.
In this episode of the Man Within Podcast, Sathiya Sam discusses the paradox of finding the quickest way to quit porn while ensuring long-term success. He emphasizes the importance of setting up a supportive environment, focusing on relationships and habits, and implementing key strategies such as building self-awareness and transforming one's identity. Sathiya shares his personal journey as an author and the impact of his book, The Last Relapse, on thousands of lives. He encourages listeners to take small, actionable steps towards improvement and to seek support through community resources.

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 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
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.
JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset In this episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich exposes one of the biggest lies men believe about breaking free from porn: that they just need more willpower. Drawing on neuroscience, real coaching case studies, and over a decade of helping high-performing men rebuild their lives, Frank reveals 7 powerful reasons why willpower alone will never set you free and what actually works instead. If you've been white-knuckling your way through relapse after relapse, this conversation will show you why the problem isn't your effort… it's your strategy. You'll learn how to shift your identity, build systems that make freedom automatic, heal the wounds driving the addiction, and strengthen yourself spiritually so you never have to fight this battle alone again. Start your free 7 Day Porn Reset at: www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset Key Takeaways: Willpower is a limited resource that drains over time. Freedom comes from systems, not constant self-control. Changing behavior starts with changing identity. Isolation fuels addiction; brotherhood and community are essential. Willpower ignores the emotional wounds behind addiction. Proactive, offense-based strategies beat reactive resistance. Spiritual growth creates strength that willpower can't match. Rewiring your brain is essential for lasting change. Support and accountability dramatically increase success rates. Real transformation comes from intention, not just effort. Ready to take the first step toward true freedom?

Does porn disrupt loyalty in relationships? Yes — and science backs it up.I'm Dr. Trish Leigh, a cognitive neuroscientist helping men break free from porn-induced brain dysregulation and intimacy struggles. As the author of Mind Over Explicit Matter, I combine science and empathy to guide people toward real connection. When I sat down with porn performers on Jubilee's Middle Ground, this prompt came up. One performer said she used porn to spice up her relationship — but the truth is, that just ties your intimacy to hypersexuality, not real connection.Studies show porn rewires your brain for objectification, not bonding. Men who watch porn are more likely to see women as objects, not partners. Underneath it all is brain dysregulation — a hijacked reward system that kills true trust and real intimacy.Jubilee & LoveCommaNectar opened the door for this conversation — so if you haven't seen the episode yet, check it out. Just a heads up: if you're in recovery, stick here with me. I'll break this all down with the science and help you rebuild real loyalty and healthy intimacy that lasts.Send us a textSupport the showHi.

I wasn't addicted to porn — but I am here because someone I love was. And that changed everything.Is Masturbation Harmless or Harmful?I'm Dr. Trish Leigh, cognitive neuroscientist and author of Mind Over Explicit Matter. On Jubilee's Middle Ground, I sat down with porn performers and NoFap voices to bring a different perspective: not personal addiction, but years of deep neuroscience, brain maps, and real recovery work.Most porn users don't even know they're addicted—they just feel anxious, unfocused, disconnected, and stuck in a loop. I've seen thousands of brains that prove how porn hijacks your dopamine, rewires your reward system, and blocks real intimacy. This ties into the larger question of: Is Masturbation Harmless or Harmful?Huge appreciation to Jubilee & LoveCommaNectar for hosting this raw, important discussion.

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
