281. What I Got Wrong About Quitting Porn (Part 1 of 3)

What if the way you thought about quitting porn was holding you back? In this first episode of a three-part series, I explore common misconceptions about quitting pornography and why the strategies most people rely on often create more struggle than progress.

I share why trying to push urges away, relying on willpower, or treating pornography like a smoking habit or addiction keeps you stuck. When you start to understand your sexual urges as natural biological impulses rather than something to eliminate, you can shift your approach and begin to work with your sexuality instead of against it.

You’ll learn why these misconceptions prevent lasting change, how curiosity and intentional practices help you navigate your urges more effectively, and how a new 12-week live program can guide you step by step to apply these principles and build a healthier relationship with your sexuality.
