Porn and self-worth
A 7-day course on the shame spiral, perfectionism, and rebuilding identity beyond the addiction. Self-compassion as a recovery skill, not a slogan.
Day by day
- The Shame Spiral. Shame says 'I am bad.' Truth says 'I did something I am working to change.' There is a difference.
- Why You're Not Broken. You are not your worst behavior. Replace the label with a description, it changes everything.
- Perfectionism and Relapse. A 30-day streak broken by one night is not zero. It is 30 out of 31. That is progress.
- Self-Compassion in Recovery. Self-compassion is not weakness. It is the mindset most likely to keep you recovering.
- Identity Beyond Addiction. Your values are your roadmap. Identify three. Spend time on them. That is recovery.
- Confidence Without Performance. Real confidence is built on self-trust, not performance. Do what you say you will do.
- Who Are You Becoming? Recovery is not going back. It is becoming someone who did not exist before.
