Why Don’t Relapses Mean Someone is Starting Over in Recovery? With Geoff Steurer [53]


Listen Later

Slip-ups happen when someone views pornography even though they are trying to quit. That comes with a lot of different emotions, from shame to discouragement. Geoff Steurer, a marriage and family therapist, talks with Creed and Crishelle on how people can learn from relapse and use it to become stronger. Relapse is a part of recovery, and even part of everyone’s life.

In this episode:

  • Talk about shame so that you can learn from relapses.
  • Ease up on the judgement on yourself.
  • Stand up to the bully in your head.
  • Talk with someone you trust who can help you see the facts.
  • Be compassionate about the pain your partner is going through.
  • Have a support system outside of your partner.
