Most recovery starts with an attempt to modify behaviors with tools or restrictions. We often rely on willpower to implement these changes.
But at some point our minds generate a thought…
A thought like, “it’s inevitable that I’m going to go back to porn.” Or “a little bit won’t hurt me” or “I deserve this” or “this is my only option for dealing with this stress.”
These thoughts feel true and often lead to relapse. It’s then we realize that recovery will require changing not only our behaviors but our thinking.
On this episode, I invite Dr. Amy Johnson, author of Just a Thought, to help us start examining our thoughts in a new way.
