Summertime can be one of the hardest seasons for men working to overcome porn addiction, stay sexually grounded, and rebuild trust in their marriage. With more revealing clothing and constant visual stimulation, many husbands feel guilt and frustration — while their wives feel fear, insecurity, and anxiety.
In this powerful episode, Sam Tielemans, licensed marriage and family therapist and expert in porn addiction recovery, unpacks how to handle triggers without shame, how to lead your mind instead of being led by it, and how to create emotional safety in your relationship — even when temptation is everywhere.
You’ll learn:
-
Why visual triggers aren’t actually the problem (and what is)
-
How to redirect your attention without suppressing desire
-
What real sexual mastery looks like (and how to build it)
-
Practical steps to regain focus and emotional control in public settings
-
How to reassure your wife and rebuild trust through open leadership
Whether you're trying to stop porn, navigate sexual triggers in marriage, or become the kind of man who stays grounded under pressure — this episode will give you the tools to stand firm like a pier in the waves.
