Description

In this insightful episode of the Unhooked Podcast, I'm joined by Sam Tielemans, a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 15 years of experience. Sam shares his expertise in helping men overcome pornography addiction by addressing the deeper emotional pain driving their behavior. We discuss how to identify and heal the real reasons behind one's urges, the importance of understanding the 'first domino', and the three types of urges. Sam also highlights the significance of effective accountability and the ultimate goal of achieving true freedom from porn addiction. If you're tired of struggling with the same patterns and are ready for a real transformation, this conversation is for you. Learn more about Sam's unique approach, his podcast, and the tools needed to build a life of integrity and fulfillment.
