Dr. Eddie Capparucci discusses the inner child model for treating problematic sexual behaviors. He explains that each person has an inner child that is haunted by past traumas or neglect, leading to negative narratives and emotional triggers. Dr. Capparucci emphasizes the importance of identifying and understanding these inner children and their triggers in order to make real changes in one's life. He also addresses the prevalence of pornography addiction and the objectification of women in society. The conversation explores the increase in violence and degradation in pornography, the need for more extreme stimulation, and the connection between child pornography and substance abuse. It also discusses the rise of sexual deviance and the importance of protecting children, the erosion of the sense of right and wrong in society, and the increase in anger and violence. The conversation delves into gentle parenting and emotional development in children, advice for fathers in guiding their children, and the importance of emotional development and consequences. It also addresses blind spots in emotional development, personal experiences and growth in relationships, and the sharing of personal experiences to help others.
