A raw, redemptive conversation with Tina Huggins about healing religious sexual shame, restoring trust in marriage, and breaking the real roots of porn addiction.
What if your deepest struggle with porn addiction isn’t about lust—but about unhealed shame?
In this episode of the No More Desire podcast, host Jake Kastleman sits down with Tina Huggins, a restorative family mediator and certified divorce coach who shares insights for porn addiction recovery, religious trauma, and high-conflict relationships. Tina has spent years guiding men and couples—including those from Christian backgrounds—through the real roots of addiction, helping them overcome shame, rebuild intimacy, and heal their marriages from the inside out.
Let’s be clear—Tina’s not here to tell anyone to walk away from their marriage. Her focus is on restoration, not separation. She brings an emotionally intelligent, trauma-informed approach to healing that blends psychology, physiology, and spiritual wisdom.
What We Cover in This Conversation:
- How religious teachings around sex can create toxic shame—and fuel pornography addiction
- Why men often confuse sexual desire with sin—and how it warps self-worth
- What most wives misunderstand about their partner’s porn use—and how to respond with strength and compassion
- The science of trauma in the body and how unresolved emotional wounds drive addiction
- How couples can heal together through truth-telling, vulnerability, and connection
Tina also shares gripping real-life experience working in battered women’s shelters, natural medicine, and recovery settings—giving her rare insight into the real emotional pain behind compulsive behavior, especially for Christian men facing sexual shame.
Whether you’re battling porn addiction, supporting a spouse, or trying to heal your marriage from betrayal and isolation, this episode is packed with truth, compassion, and tools for lasting change.
