How to Heal from Pornography Addiction - with Justin | Ep. 82

Doing It Together: Making Sense of Low Libido, Sex, and Intimacy in Marriage.

Join Janna in this conversation filled with healing and hope as we delve into a topic often brushed aside: pornography addiction. She sits down with Justin, who bravely shares his 25-year struggle with excessive porn use and the profound impact it had on his relationships and self-esteem.

Despite being told it's 'normal,' Justin's story sheds light on the dark realities of porn addiction and its detrimental effects on intimacy. He shares his journey from secrecy and shame to vulnerability and healing alongside his wife.

Justin shares:

• Why porn can be abusive in relationships.
• The roots of his out-of-control porn habit.
• How he used porn to numb emotions and his journey to emotional awareness.
• Plus, Justin's powerful advocacy for Wanting It More as a crucial part of the healing process.

Tune in for a compassionate and validating conversation that reminds us that healing is possible, and no one is alone in their struggles. Let's break the stigma and embrace hope together.
