Summary
Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of self-judgment, especially when dealing with pornography struggles? That critical voice in your head can feel like an unrelenting force, weakening you both mentally and physically. The longer this judgment lingers, the more it blocks your energy and affects everything from your stress response to your ability to sleep.
In this episode, Coach Kat dives into how self-judgment creates a toxic cycle of anger, disappointment, and resentment, mirroring the shame cycle many face. Kat explores how this judgment manifests physically, causing your body to become constricted and stuck. She explains why forgiveness is the key to healing your self-judgmental voice and how it opens up space for peace, trust, and emotional freedom.

| 0:23.6 | host, Sarah Brewer. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the podcast today. I'm Kat Jenkins, a coach in the |
| 0:32.7 | program. And I'm so excited to be talking to you today about healing the self-judgmental voice. |
| 0:39.3 | I know a lot of people, especially in this area, overcoming pornography, might hold on to a lot of anger, a lot of disappointment, a lot of resentment. |
| 0:48.8 | And it comes in the form of self-judgment. |
