Mind Hacks for Quitting Porn

Pain

Pain can be a boon or bane, it all depends on how you manage your brain. Pain can seem to span physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions. This episode focuses on what we can practically learn from it.

Stress

Stress is the ultimate evil, right? The cause of all our problems... or so we've been told. But where did that narrative actually come from? Was it science, or pseudoscience? What if the secret to a more full, happy life isn't the successful avoidance of stress, but rather, the cultivation of the capability to face it head on without fear? If so, how do we start to manage stress in a way that isn't so... stressful?

Breaking the Rules

We have a lot of rules in our society. Rules around sex. Rules around porn. Often, other people created the rules and we just kind of went along with it. So how do we know when it's okay to change the rules? And whether it's safe to do so? Let's talk about rules that are meant to serve you rather than the other way around.

Honesty

You may have heard that honesty is crucial for recovery. This episode clarifies how and why. Pessimism often masquerades as honesty, but it's not nearly as helpful as some would like to believe. I explain why. Also, hear examples of what a good and bad porn confession sounds like.

Have you lost count of how many times you've failed to quit porn? Are you noticing a common thread of failure in your life? It's human nature to fear that we'll never escape. That these failures somehow define us. But letting go of these failures may be easier than you think.
