187: How to Overcome Pornography Use When You're Overwhelmed and Don't Have a Lot of Time

187: How to Overcome Pornography Use When You're Overwhelmed and Don't Have a Lot of Time

Feel like you're fighting an impossible battle - trying to overcome pornography while juggling an already overwhelming life?

After thousands of therapy sessions, I've discovered something surprising: success doesn't always mean adding more to your plate.

Think of someone running up a downward-moving escalator.

They're putting in enormous effort, legs pumping furiously, yet barely staying in place.

This is what traditional recovery can feel like - an endless list of must-dos: meetings, accountability partners, journaling, meditation, new habits, urge management techniques.

While these tools can help, they often leave you feeling more exhausted than empowered.

In today's episode, I'll share a completely different approach - one that works even when you're burned out and short on time.

You'll learn how to get off that escalator and find a simpler, more effective path to lasting change.

Sometimes doing less, but doing it smarter, creates better results than pushing harder against the downward flow.

For therapy with Sam:

I will work with you for 12 weeks to help you eliminate pornography use and resolve the root cause so it doesn't come back.

If after the 12 weeks you haven’t fully overcome it, I’ll work with you for free until you do.
