Summary

Isolation is a common byproduct of unwanted sexual behavior or pornography addiction. As we continue acting out, shame builds and leads us deeper into isolation. On today's episode, we talk to Chandler Rogers, the Co-Founder and CEO of Relay (an app designed to help people break out of isolation). We discuss with Chandler why we isolate, why isolation is so damaging in recovery, what signs indicate we're beginning to isolate, and how to break out of isolation and live vulnerably with our community. Chandler also shares a bit of his story and how Relay is helping people find healing and freedom from unwanted behaviors.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Pure Desire Podcast, helping you take back your life from unwanted sexual behavior and betrayal trauma.
0:10.4	Hello there, listener. I am your host, Trevor Windsor, and you're listening to episode 291 of the Pure Desire podcast. You're joining me as always as my co-host. Nick Stumbo.
0:19.5	All by myself.
0:24.1	Don't want to live.
0:26.6	All by everybody, not myself anymore.
0:31.4	Oh, gosh.

0:42.7	Oh, scale of one to two, it's a two? Got it. Okay. So today, um, we got to hang out with
0:49.9	Chandler Rogers, who's the co-founder and CEO of Relay, which is an app that helps people
0:55.7	breaking out of isolation. And we thought, you know what, why not talk to him about breaking
0:59.8	out of isolation? Yeah. And it seems like that sound clip, that song is played in the kind of low
1:06.1	moment of every movie where the character is all by themselves and no one to help and feeling down in
1:11.4	the dumps. And I think just a good depiction of what can happen in isolation where we get
1:16.5	stuck in these negative patterns of how we feel about ourselves in the world. And we often don't
1:22.1	have the language or the resources to know how do I express to others what I'm going through and find people
1:30.0	that can be a support to me in the journey, which we all need.
1:33.4	It's why pure desire has made groups really the foundational element of recovery because
1:37.7	we feel like outside of connection with other human beings who can relate to our story,
1:42.6	who can support us, we're not going to
1:45.3	make the lasting change we need to. And so I think today was a great episode to talk about that,
1:51.1	to unpack what isolation is all about, and really to hear more about a new app that can
