  • 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.

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?

379: Mindfulness Based Porn Addiction Recovery with Jeremy Lipkowitz

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?

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.
