It can be HARD work to pinpoint the roots of your struggles with porn or other addictions. However, its the KEY to long lasting healing and freedom. If you dont get to the roots, you will never change the fruit. If you never change the fruit, you will never experience the joy of Christ.
Heres what I wrote in the DeepClean community:
If your trauma and unmet needs have to do with things that DID NOT happen, it's going to be pretty hard to remember specific events that hurt you.
Why? Because what was your "normal" is the very trauma you must pinpoint.Try this tweak: Think about the things you wish you had growing up (emotionally, physically, spiritually) and ask "how did not having that affect me?"Be really honest here AND PLEASE, consider it from a child's perspective, not your adult perspective.
I want to dig deeper into this idea and unpack it in this episode. Get ready to learn about the best way to pinpoint trauma, the question you must ask yourself, the 6 needs of every child and the way parents must respond to help their kids feel safe

Since moving to Czech, I have had to push through a lot of adversity. The language barrier ahas been the #1 greatest challenge for me as someone who has the gift of communicating!
However, through this season, there has been one go to habit I have developed that has gotten me through some of the toughest times. Its helped me hear God more clearly, praise Him more consistently and trust Him more deeply
In this episode, I am going to talk about my morning routine that consists of journalling, reading the word and setting 3 focuses for the day.
On top of that, I am going to share 3 tips on how to ensure you know the why, how and when behind effective journalling
Ready to work with a coach?
If you're looking to get to the deep roots of your addiction to porn, journalling will certainly help. However, the healing often happens when awareness meets therapy

This idea came from a challenge I have been facing for the past 4 months and a conversation I had with my wife the other night.
Whats one thing you can do each day that brings you dignity, draws you closer to God and infuses you with energy?
Maybe you feel dry in your intimacy with God or you have been abdicating power in areas you have been called to lead?
Maybe you sense the passion stir inside of you when you do ___ but havent made that a routine habit in your life yet
Whatever it is, its time to seek a daily dose of Godly Dignity and hardness the power of feeling empowered
