Living An Integrated Life: Why Healing Is More Than Just Stopping
Have a question for the podcast? Let us know!
People who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors often find their emotions, thoughts, values, and actions to be disconnected from each part - or even at odds. This fragmentation of the self, called disintegration, often accompanies a deep sense of shame, numbness, self-loathing, and tension between the person they see in the mirror and the person they wish could be. In today’s episode, FirstLight counselors Shari Montague (LPC, CSAT) and Matthew Friesen (PLPC) explore how disintegration effects strugglers, and how breaking free from sexual addiction involves more than just stopping behaviors - it’s about learning how to live as a whole person.
Bonus discussion: "I quit porn. Why isn’t my marriage better?"
Featuring: Shari Montague (LPC, CSAT) and Matthew Friesen (PLPC)
