Episode notes

In this engaging and entertaining analogy, the speaker encourages us to view mistakes as stepping stones rather than barriers. Like in Super Mario Brothers, where each mistake teaches you how to avoid obstacles, clients are encouraged to approach their mistakes with curiosity. They use a worksheet to reflect on what happened and what can be done differently next time. The idea of success is challenged, as it is not solely based on abstaining from pornography for a certain number of days.

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.
