  • So healing

    It was a joy and a privilege to be interviewed on Jessa’s podcast about our pregnancy loss. That she recognizes that better sex includes such a wide range of human experiences made it an easy pick for me when I was searching for who could amplify our story. Thank you Jessa for showcasing real issues to help real people find the path to connection, in the bedroom and in all areas of relating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

379: Mindfulness Based Porn Addiction Recovery with Jeremy Lipkowitz
Q: How does equanimity help in real life when urges arise or emotions are hard to face?
Equanimity is trained through meditation and mental practices to stay present with discomfort without acting to escape, reducing the drive to compulsively seek reward.
379: Mindfulness Based Porn Addiction Recovery with Jeremy Lipkowitz
Q: What can someone do that isn't necessarily Buddhist but still translates these ideas into practical recovery?
He outlines mindfulness self-awareness, journaling, envisioning a future with or without the behavior, and building a community for accountability as practical steps anyone can take.
379: Mindfulness Based Porn Addiction Recovery with Jeremy Lipkowitz
Q: Where does the line cross into problematic use for someone who's eight years old when they're first exposed?
He discusses age of exposure, education versus fantasy, and how early experiences shape later patterns, with emphasis on avoiding shaming and focusing on impact and health.
379: Mindfulness Based Porn Addiction Recovery with Jeremy Lipkowitz
Q: You were starting... I didn't want to go too far down because I wanted to record this, but how do you think of addiction or the use of that word?
He explains addiction in a broad sense as anything used to numb or escape unpleasant emotions, not just a clinical diagnosis, and emphasizes the role of harm and the desire to stop as key factors.
379: Mindfulness Based Porn Addiction Recovery with Jeremy Lipkowitz
Q: So let's start with maybe just a little bit of your journey and story and why is a topic about porn use and mindfulness and why is this your passion?
The guest discusses his personal history with porn from a young age, how mindfulness and Buddhist philosophy helped him see the harm and begin recovery, and why he now teaches others using these frameworks to regain control and live with equanimity.
