Caller David: had struggled with an addiction to pornography since he was seven. After years of shame and guilt, he finally hit a breaking point and decided to open up to his wife about his addiction and the emotional affair he had. He also started going to therapy, talking to his pastor, and attending a Twelve Step program to learn more about addiction and recovery. Through all of this, he began to empathize with his wife and find the strength to work through his addiction and trauma. He now has a new found determination to make different choices and build meaningful relationships with the people he loves.
"The issue is that I need to actually go figure out how to address that itch of the four to five year old child in a way that's non sexual or non consuming of another person."
In this episode: 1. How to find worth in and of yourself, instead of looking for validation from other people. 2. How to address childhood trauma, and how it affects your addiction. 3. Understanding childhood trauma and how it affects your relationships today.
