You’ve probably heard that “childhood trauma” is the leading cause of sex addiction. But, what is childhood trauma? And, what are you supposed to do about it?
Trauma is not just physical abuse, sexual abuse, or verbal abuse… It can be as simple as telling your child what to do, where to go to college, and what to do with their life. Your job as a parent is not to shape your child, it is to allow them to become who they were born to be. Sex and porn addicts often do what they do because there is a misalignment between their true self and what they are spending their life doing. Childhood trauma happens to ALL CHILDREN. Even if you think that your parents didn’t alter the course of your life path… they did. It’s impossible to parent a child without passing along your beliefs and biases (even if you try really hard not to!).
In this episode, Eddie Capparucci and I explore “inner child work.” Many high-achieving men struggle with tapping into their inner child (myself included). This Episode will help you crack the code.
Eddie has dedicated a large portion of his career to helping sex and pornography addicts examine HOW and WHY they became addicts. His book Going Deeper is all about how the inner child impacts your sex addiction.
