Episode notes

When you fail, that doesn't mean you're back to square one. Quitting pornography is a process of learning new skills. In order to learn the skill of quitting pornography, you have to try new things and be okay with the possibility of not doing it right. Those mess ups stop being barriers and they start to become stepping stones. They show you what you need to practice and whatYou need to change.

In today's episode we talk about all or nothing mindset. This is one of the most common things I see with my clients.

All or nothing mindset looks like, “I already messed up today, so I am not going to try for the rest of the day”, “I can’t start until i’m 100% sure I can do this”, and by counting progress as number of days without pornography instead of counting progress as number of urges processed.

In reality, quitting pornography is like learning any new skill. Failure does not keep us from quitting, it teaches us and helps us to become stronger as long as we learn from it.
