Let go: Overcoming Porn Addiction with Coach Frank

In this episode, you'll hear:

- Early exposure to pornography and its long-term effects

- The role of identity transformation in recovery

- Strategies for overcoming porn addiction

- Advice for partners of those struggling with addiction

Join Mathew Blades as he sits down with Coach Frank and Dr. Frank Bevacqua to explore the complex world of porn addiction. Coach Frank shares his personal journey through a 20-year addiction, highlighting how early exposure shaped his understanding of relationships. The discussion reveals how porn addiction often masks deeper emotional issues, serving as a coping mechanism rather than a mere sexual outlet.

Coach Frank emphasizes the necessity of identity transformation in recovery, advocating for a fundamental shift in self-perception. Physical fitness emerges as a powerful tool in this process, aiding in building confidence and altering self-image. The conversation also offers practical advice for partners, stressing the importance of avoiding guilt and shame while engaging in mutual healing.

Notable quotes include Coach Frank's insight: "I think sitting at the foundation and root of all success in recovery or the journey to freedom sits in identity change or identity transformation." Dr. Bavacqua adds, "Unfortunately, now there is the shared responsibility of how do I heal the parts of me that were hurt by this?"

Explore the journey to freedom from porn addiction and discover the tools needed for a transformative recovery.

A note from our partner, Better Than Bitter:

Divorce isn’t just a life transition - it’s a full-blown identity shift. One day, you’re a partner, a parent, and a planner for the future. The next? You’re staring at paperwork, lawyer fees, and the overwhelming question: ‘What now?’

I know it’s hard. That’s why we’ve created these courses - to give you courage, clarity, communication tools, and the support you need to move forward with confidence

(and maybe even a little hope)!
