43. Pivot 3: Your Observing Self
Have you ever been really anxious or upset, and you think to yourself, "Why am I so angry right now? This is strange." That is your observing self.

In the days of constantly comparing ourselves to others through an online presence, it can be hard to not love yourself for who you are.

Hopefully, in this episode, you can have a better sense of how to love yourself, even when it feels like you can't.
38. Addicted to porn? Start here.
We tend to overcomplicate addiction recovery. Addiction is not complicated; it requires consistency. Consistency in doing the small things day in and day out. Most people don't want to hear that, but it's the truth, and it's what works. In this episode, I talk about one place you can start:)

In context of addiction, this means that we can always get off the train
35. Can you cure pxrn addiction?
There is a misconception in the mental health world surrounding addiction. We tend to think that a specific amount of time without relapse is the end-all be-all with the addiction. However, recovery is a lifelong process. The brain and body will never forget what it was like to view pxrn when you were feeling stressed, sad, mad, etc. We need to treat recovery like our values. It is not a destinati
34. "How many days can I stay sober" is a waste of time.
Focusing on time is a waste of time. When it comes to addiction, we tend to focus solely on how many days we have been sober rather than focusing on the things that bring change.
33. Is it your fault you're addicted?
If you create a porn dependency from a young age, is it your fault? Let me know your thoughts!
32. A tragic story that is our reality.
I want to reiterate that I do not personally know this family or this young man. My intentions are not to shine a bad light on the family. What happened here is tragic, and we need to keep them in our prayers. I want to use this as a catalyst in starting a conversation about normalizing talk around pxrn, sxx, and sexuality in general. We talk about the bad without any of the good. That has to stop

Enough said.

In this episode, Enoch discusses four key areas in recovery capital that can be strengthened to increase one's chances of recovery. Take the Recovery Capital t
26. The Second Arrow: Shame and Guilt in Addiction
When you PMO, you may struggle with feelings of shame, guilt, and negative self-talk. The Buddhist monks refer to this as the second arrow. These negative experiences are self-inflicted and can become a habit that will drive you deeper into the addiction itself. Becoming aware of this second arrow is one of the first steps that need to take place in the recovery process.
25. It's Not Your Fault You're Addicted
This episode goes out to all those who think they are broken, not enough, or feel shame because of where they are at this point in their lives.Most likely, your addiction started when you were fairly young.

21. Pornography Can Cause Pain!
In this episode, I talk about two different kinds of pain; the pain of presence and the pain of absence.

I also go into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and how it can help you understand what to do when you feel this pain.

9. When You Have the Urge to Watch P*rn, Do This!

Often, the stigma that surrounds pornography is WORSE than porn itself...crazy huh? But why? I guess you'll have to listen, dang it.
