Summary
One of the biggest misconceptions about having a porn habit is that if you’re experiencing unwanted pornography use, you’re lacking strength, willpower, or spirituality. This misleading belief is not only false but often leads to avoidance techniques I call Band-Aid solutions. In this episode, I show you how to stop relying on these quick fixes and how making tiny changes in the way you cope with emotions can change everything.
Discover what Band-Aid solutions can look like in practice and why they don’t work long-term. Learn why buffering and numbing out prevents you from processing emotions in a healthy way, and how to stop the cycle of turning to porn every time life gets challenging so you can finally experience true freedom.

| 0:31.2 | It is the end of summer. My kids are starting up school. I love this time and I also hate this time. 50, 50, right? Life is 50% |
| 0:41.7 | great. Life is 50% bad, hard, crappy, whatever. I really love that principle. I think I've talked |
| 0:47.8 | about it on the podcast a little bit, but it does. It helps me when things are not going well or when |
| 0:52.1 | I have negative emotion or instead of, |
| 0:55.2 | oh, no, I shouldn't be feeling bad or I shouldn't be feeling this. I should be happy all the time. |
| 0:58.6 | It's like, oh, yeah, no, that's just not how it works. That's not the experience of life. |
