Something in your story made pornography enticing. You didn’t just stumble on it.
Have you ever wondered what was happening in your life that made porn seem like a safe place to run?
Decades of work in healing from unwanted sexual behaviors lead us to this episode.
You are meant to do this work alone and here’s why.
Highlights
5 Reasons You Think You CAN Heal on Your Own:
Fear asks, “What happens if I get found out? What will I lose? What will people think?”Shame says, “If people know the real truth, they’ll reject me.”Pride believes, “I’m not that bad. I can stop on my own.”Ignorance moves unaware of how addiction has affected you neuro-biologically, spiritually, emotionally.Not Ready because maybe “You don’t want to give it up.”Romans 7
Some people have to lose a lot before they realize the addiction was more destructive.
Proverbs 6:27-28
One Reason You CANNOT Heal on Your Own:
In order to overcome relational issues, you need to do the work in the context of relationship.The root of your sexual sin problem is relational. Something relational happened in your life that you responded to by moving into unwanted sexual behavior.
Relational wounds cannot be healed in isolation.
Your brain needs to experience relationships in a loving, healthy, attuned way in order to heal.
