Porn Free Radio episode 16. Welcome to Porn Free Radio. I'm Matt Dobshootschutz. Porn Free Radio is the

podcast for people who want to get free from porn addiction. In this episode, we're talking about

escaping porn addiction with my friend, life coach Craig Para, founder of the mindful habit method

of porn and sex addiction recovery.

It's an honor and a privilege to be here.

What kind of clicked with you and porn? And how did it, how did it develop?

Sure. Oh, well, I can start from the beginning. And the beginning is literally the beginning

of life. I was adopted. So that means my biological mother gave me up for adoption. And I say

may be connected with this concept called the primal wound. And so while babies in their infant

stages, their earliest stages of life on this planet are basking in motherly love and fatherly love.

I was alone in an orphanage and they call that the primal wound.
