0:00.0	You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good Podcast, episode 93, out of control.
0:06.7	Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn.
0:17.1	This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and thousands of lives. I'm your host,
0:23.6	Sarah Brewer. Hey, you guys, welcome to the podcast episode this week. We are going to talk about what to
0:31.8	do if you feel out of control. And there's just so many things to talk about around this topic. And there are two
0:39.7	big main points here. If you are someone who feels like you're out of control, the first thing that
0:44.9	you have to understand is you have to understand the science behind your habit, understand your
0:47.8	specific habits. Feeling out of control comes from not understanding what is really going on. And number two,
0:57.2	we want to talk about restructuring your identity to be someone who is in control. So I'll talk
1:02.7	about those more in depth as we go through these points. And this first point, understanding
1:06.9	the science behind the habit and your specific habits in regard to that science,

1:18.3	inspired me to talk about when you feel out of control. And so if you haven't listened to the last
1:23.0	couple of episodes, I would, I would really recommend that you do so. Because one of the reasons that you tell
1:29.0	yourself that you're out of control is, number one, you don't understand your habits and patterns.
1:34.5	You don't understand what's going on. And so you're confused. You're like, oh, I just keep viewing.
1:39.0	And that must mean that there's something wrong with me. And it must mean that I'm just out of
1:42.8	control. Or number two, those patterns, those habits are too painful to admit.
1:51.4	So you might feel out of control if you don't understand the habit.
1:56.2	If you don't understand the reward system that seeks dopamine.
2:00.5	You don't understand how you trained your brain to want it at certain dopamine. You don't understand how you trained your brain
2:02.2	to want it at certain times. You don't understand that you can untrain it if you want to.
