Instead of Guilt and Shame to Avoid Slips, Do This Instead

Instead of Guilt and Shame to Avoid Slips, Do This Instead

When a man struggles with the pornography addiction, it’s very easy for him to spiral into shame and guilt, which unintentionally can set him back up for another relapse.

In this episode, I share with you some very important research about how much more effective response to mistakes or slips to help propel you forward on the path of being successful.

Self-compassion is often confused with self-licensing, and in the episode, I talk about how a husband can respond to himself in a compassionate way, which reinforces his commitment to overcoming his addiction.

I also share how a wife can respond without giving him license to continue to fall back into the same patterns.
