Podcasts about sexual addiction recovery

With your co-hostesses: Pam Blizzard from RecoveredPeace.com Lyschel Burket from HopeRedefined.org Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com Support HFW through a donation Today, we are approaching another type of betrayal we hear far too often from women navigating their healing journey, being missed when going to their community of faith after betrayal. We thought we would approach this conversation a little differently and encourage faith communities.  Many of us don't know what we don't know. When we learn and know better we can do better.  Dr. Barb Steffens is joining us today and helping us understand how a faith community can be a safe and responsive community for betrayed partners.  We Will be Discussing: What are some common experiences for women being “missed” by their faith community.  What should a care pastor/faith leader/community do when meeting with a betrayed wife or the couple after discovery? What to do when they want you to fix it?  What resources can they offer? What do you do when a woman doesn't understand her impact, yet? What if a woman reaches a brick wall with getting support from her faith community, should she stay where is, or to seek a new faith community? Other options? What hope can we leave for our listeners today?  Resources mentioned in this show: Your Sexually Addicted Spouse: How Partners Can Cope and Heal by Dr. Barb Steffens   Scripture references: Deuteronomy 31:8 Philippians 1:6

Through his dedication and experience, Logan has helped many find the strength and support needed to break free from the grip of addiction. The Prodigals of Alaska is a “Christ Centered 12 Step Recovery and Coaching Program for Sexual Addiction.” Today, Logan will share his insights, his personal stories, and the transformative work being done by his organization up in Alaska that is helping a lot of individuals reclaim their lives.

Join us as we explore the paths to recovery, resilience, and a renewed purpose. Get ready to be inspired and encouraged—freedom and healing are within reach. Help me welcome to the program Logan Hufford! Logan, it's a blessing to be talking with you today. I do appreciate your time! This is part two to a great conversation with Logan Hufford!Can you give us a general definition of what sexual addiction is? Are a lot of the people you help in a state of “denial?” Maybe they are being forced to come to you by their spouse or pastor, etc? Speaking of pastors… how rampant is this in the clergy and ministries? I saw a report one time that the use of pornography channels at hotels spikes when a ministers conference comes to town… it's been several years since I first saw that report. But have you heard the similar things? Do you only work with men? Women can have sexual addictions as well, correct? What about spouses? Do you have something like Al Anon or something similar for the spouses of those in a sexual addiction? Does this program offer formal counseling? Does this program satisfy the requirements if someone has been ordered by a court to seek help for whatever reason? How many “branches” for lack of a better term, do you have in Alaska and are you looking to expand it the lower 48 states? Logan, this is all so interesting and the work you are doing is absolutely needful for the day and time in which we live. I mean, references to porn, etc. are all over the place. You can watch a television commercial without there being some reference to sex and alcohol or both…and how much “fun” you'll have, etc. If someone would like more information or they may have a question for you, how can someone reach out to you and get in touch? As we wrap up this enlightening conversation with Logan Hufford, we hope you've found a spark of hope and a path to freedom. Logan's dedication to helping those battling sexual and porn addiction is truly inspiring. Remember, no struggle is too great to overcome, and no one needs to walk this journey alone. With the support of Logan and the "Prodigals of Alaska" team, and faith in God's promise that "with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26), you can achieve healing and freedom. Reach out today and take that courageous step towards a life of fulfillment and peace. Just click the links down below and get in touch with Logan Hufford right now. Amen! CONTACT...

Unravel the complexities of sexual addiction with us as we shine a light on its compulsive nature, differentiating it from healthy sexual desires. Step into a world where the uncontrollable impulses of this often misunderstood condition take center stage, disrupting lives and relationships. We navigate the signs that mark the boundary between a healthy sexual lifestyle and addictive behaviors, urging those who spot these patterns in their own lives to embrace professional help without a second thought. In a respectful tribute to adult entertainment, we also celebrate the artistry of performers like Danika Mori, Malena La Pugliese, and Martina Smeraldi, advocating for a viewing perspective that respects the genre as a valuable form of expression, distinct from real-life intimacy.Discover the empowering journey of overcoming sexual addiction, where seeking help is a testament to courage, not defeat. We outline the myriad of support avenues—from therapy to support groups—reiterating the immense hope and personal growth found in recovery. Together, we'll discuss how the understanding from friends and family can bolster this challenging path, and why every victory, no matter how small, is a cause for celebration. Join us as we foster a community eager to share and learn from each other's experiences, all while promoting a healthier, judgment-free understanding of both sexuality and the healing process that comes with addressing sexual addiction.Transition DrillFirst responders and military members start planning today for tomorrow's transitionListen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showLa missione di FuffaWebFuffaWeb è da sempre impegnata nella diffusione della verità senza censura, e questo articolo fa parte del nostro impegno nel portare alla luce temi importanti.

"I don't think that God's goal in the universe is to lessen the amount of sin.  I think His primary goal is to increase the amount of connection between Him and His people." Today's guest is therapist Matt Wenger, who works with guys dealing with porn and sex addiction.  In the course of that work, he recognized that Christian men have unique challenges in their journey to healing from this addiction.  The result of that was the development of Boulder Recovery, which offers a new 14-Day Men's Intensive for Christian guys struggling with porn and sex addiction.  Dr. Michael Barta's Trauma-Induced Sex Addiction (TINSA) Model of therapy is integrated with healthy spiritual teaching and practices to promote genuine healing from the attachment wounds and intimacy disorders that drive sexual addiction. The first intensive will be June 19-July 3, 2021. Information can be found at boulderrecovery.com. The music on this podcast is contributed by members of the Samson Society.

Carol the Coach interviews "Gaslighting Expert"  Ross Rosenberg about this phenomena that frequently occurs in the relationship with the sex addict and his/her spouse. Gaslighting is a complex and well-thought out brainwashing strategy utilized by highly manipulative narcissists. Gaslighters control victims by systematically manipulating them into identifying with and feeling no control over an implanted psychological problem. The resulting distress, insecurity and paranoia creates even lower self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness, while compelling them to isolate even further and seek protection from the gaslighter. They are, therefore, trapped in a double bind from which it is difficult to escape. Find out more about this technique so that you can stop it if it occurs in your life!

Are you suffering from an intense sexual addiction or a sexually rooted compulsion? Do you need help for an internet porn addiction? Are you developing unhealthy sexual desires? Self-help treatment and recovery are simpler than you may realize. Regardless of what plagues you, the media and commercial entertainment only parade more sexual images in front of us daily. Not only that, but there are very few programs and treatment centers that provide accurate and lasting help for sexual addiction. Writer, lecturer and radio counselor Roy Masters discovered that the key to understanding addiction lies in realizing that it is a symptom to a larger emotional conflict.Thomas was molested as a young child. He is in the middle of the recovery process, but still finds himself struggling with an awkward effect of sexual child molestation: an uncontrollable sexual compulsion. In this free podcast episode Roy walks Thomas through the process of stepping back from his resentment over his abusive childhood. Only by learning to live outside of our emotional mindset can we recover from past trauma and overcome addiction.(Clip from episode: K4484)This podcast is brought to you by the Foundation of Human Understanding: http://www.fhu.com Quotes regarding sexual addiction from Roy Masters’ books:“The trouble is that we usually associate need with something good. We think the same of those who give in to, or gratify, our needs. What we are really looking at here is a dark love, a strange compulsion of something in us to fulfill or to be fulfilled by kindred types.”- The Adam and Eve Sindrome“Acceptance is very important to the ego when it is guilty. Having someone attached to you is very exciting and comforting. Unfortunately, such a relationship reinforces everything that is wrong in you and this leads to more guilt, which in turn develops a greater need for those enchanting attachment personalities.This is the basis of addiction—to anything, from women to drugs. If you can see this point, you are probably asking why such a natural thing is so harmful.”- Understanding Sexuality“Sooner or later every man becomes pathetically or violently love-crazy, fearful of what he needs. He sees he has been trapped and degraded, stripped of independence and self-respect.There is no way out unless he will awaken and repent. To find life and true happiness, he must lay down his ego-animal life; that is to say, he must give up seeking acceptance. For it is his desire for acceptance, fulfilled in reality or merely in his mind, that awakens his senses and sets him aflame on the course of nature, the cycle of life and death. Look carefully at your yearning, then, to reach out and touch someone. Realize that this compulsion is nothing more than your guilty ego reaching away from reality toward the renewing of pride.”- The Adam and Eve Sindrome“Doing its thing, the temptation communicating through the food or sex says something in the inscrutable language of the Devil to us, his "sons." It approves our exotic needs and rewards them with pleasure; it assures the ego that it need not question its growing need for food or sex as an abnormal manifestation of the false identity that is secretly taking shape inside us. Since they are feeding more than the simple needs of the body, food and sex become objects of craving to our hungry egos. We need them to feel gloriously right, even though overindulgence brings on guilt feelings, which are soon followed by feelings of deprivation, and finally by a greater and more unnatural hunger than the last one. A person caught in the devil's web of food or sex addiction is never satisfied with a simple wholesome diet, or the natural sex act. His lusts are his gods, and he must make a "religious ceremony" of his indulgence in them.”- Understanding Sexuality------If you suffer deeply from the affects of stress, fear or pain, we recommend the Overcoming Stress, Fear and Pain Pack.
