Episode 539: Troy Gagon, Lost son Terik to Suicide, Solving Pornography

**Trigger Warning: Podcast talks about Suicide. If you are suicidal please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255**

My friend Troy Gagon (age 52, Married Father of 7, Active LDS) bravely shares his long journey to understand and solve pornography—including the effectiveness of the ACT (Acceptance, Commitment, Therapy) approach.

Troy also talks about his 17-year-old son Terik who died by suicide in Feb 2015 (you can read more about Terik at www.terikgagon.com). Troy talks about how his family is healing and finding hope, things we can do to better support families who have lost on to suicide, and hopeful thoughts to those who are suicidal.

If you are working to solve pornography, please listen to this podcast. Troy’s insights will help you.

And if you have lost a family member to suicide, Troy’s perspective and gospel insights will help you.

You can reach Troy at [email protected] or 801-836-5733.

Thank you, Troy for your courage to share your story. Respect.
