Men use porn because they like the effect produced by it. The elusive sensation changes our state while we are using it. It provides a timely escape from our present reality. And even though we have taken steps to stop using porn we often are still are looking for the escape. I call this the bubble.

1-on-1 Coaching with Matt Dobschuetz https://recoveredman.com/coaching

Do you see yourself as broken or an addict? Then this episode is for you.

Over the last 10 years, I have had a shift in my thinking; I have moved away from diagnosing and pathologizing porn behaviors (disease model.) And I moved towards a choice/ownership model. I invite the guys I work with to examine their choices, define problematic behaviors, developing their why for going porn free, and come up with creative solutions to solve their challenges.

I treat guys from day one as whole people with the capacity and capability to form new habits and change their relationship with porn.

1-on-1 Coaching with Matt Dobschuetz

https://recoveredman.com/coaching

Before recovery, I lived a divided life. I hid anything I found unacceptable from my friends and family including my problematic porn use. On the surface, I presented a "nice guy" version of myself to be liked and accepted. It was exhausting and painfully lonely.

In recovery, my why is "to be the same on the inside as on the outside." But this requires honesty.
