Detaching Self-Improvement from a Porn Habit

I teach guys powerful, useable, practical, hands-on tools for managing their mind.

Some of those tools include:

-Thought Work
-the Self-Coaching Model
-Impulse Shifting

Why is managing your mind important?

Because thoughts create results.

A lot of my clients first learn about these powerful mind-management tools because they have a porn habit that they want to quit, once and for all - FOR GOOD.

So they practice with the mind-management tools and see that it helps (very effectively) with their initial problem.

Sometimes, they begin to attach the “need” for using these tools to whether or not they looked at porn recently.

This can be problematic. Why?

For a few reasons that we are discussing in this episode. Tune in now.

He created this podcast to help those who are struggling with porn in their marriage and lives, and who know deep down there's something "more" for them if they just learn the skill of doing life porn free.
