What if battling porn urges is actually keeping you stuck?
What if the urge isn't your enemy, but a part of you actually just trying to help?
What if freedom isn't won through fighting, but through befriending?
In this episode, I sit down with Jenna Riemersma, bestselling author, licensed therapist, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) expert.
I was so excited to have Jenna on the podcast, as her work has had a huge impact on me and my life. Her book, Altogether You was life-changing for me, and we also discuss her new book, Move Toward, which takes revolutionary IFS principles and distills them into a simple, but radical 3-step tool anyone can use to completely change the way we approach our urges.
What you'll learn:
- Why the parts inside you that drive porn use are actually good (even though the behavior isn't)
- The difference between being the "conductor" vs. letting parts "drive the bus"
- How to turn toward the urge with curiosity and compassion instead of battling and judgment
- The 3-step practice begin befriending your urges instead of battling them
- Why the next time you feel the urge, you should hold it in your hand
If you're tired of fighting and ready for a different approach, this episode is for you.
