Podcast Description: If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep going back to porn even when I don’t want to?” — this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, we’re uncovering why so many men sabotage their progress when trying to quit porn, even when they’re motivated, committed, and know what’s at stake. Whether you're struggling with porn addiction, trying to break the habit of watching porn, or working to rebuild trust after betrayal, this episode dives into the root of why you keep slipping—and how to stop.
You’ll learn:
Why you keep relapsing during porn recovery even when you really want to change
The emotional and psychological patterns that lead to self-sabotage during addiction recovery
What’s actually happening when you feel triggered, overwhelmed, or disconnected—and how that leads back to porn
How to work through the internal stories like “I’m never going to change” or “This is just who I am”
How men use porn as a way to escape feelings like shame, rejection, failure, and not being enough

How to stop numbing, hiding, and isolating when you're in emotional pain
