In this powerful episode, Dr. Kevin Skinner explores how habitual pornography use becomes neurologically reinforced and what it takes to interrupt that cycle. By breaking down the habit loop—cue, behavior, and reward—Dr. Skinner explains why willpower alone isn’t enough and how neuroplasticity makes real change possible. Through strategies like the 10-minute rule, the five-why exercise, and habit tracking, listeners learn how to delay the automatic response and rewire their brains with intentional, values-based behaviors. This episode also features the inspiring story of Lisa Allen from The Power of Habit, illustrating how one keystone habit can change everything.
