Such a great episode. Love the discussion around how one of the worst parts of betrayal trauma is the madness of the intrusive thoughts and how you question yourself the barrage of self doubt and thinking you’re the issue. 😥 I also love the part about coming back to your body and more full self and rediscovering what brings you joy. Bessel Van Der Kolk says “Remember to remember”, and I think that’s key. 💛

I always learn new things. You are doing such good work. However learn how to pronounce "important ". There are two "t's" in the word. It is very distracting.

Almost everyone encounters pornography these days. And porn warps our sense of humanity for each other, our understanding of what is a healthy relationship, gives us cycles of shame and bad feelings about ourselves and false perceptions of what is important in another human in almost every situation and encounter we have in life. Fight the new drug is a great antidote and educational resource for all of this. It gives us info on how immediately and ultimately abusive porn is to ourselves and to others we then see in shallow and unreal ways. It offers tools to manage shame. It shows us we’re not alone and not bad people. It gives tools and encouragement to change for anyone. I’ve listened to quite a few of the podcasts and it’s really been worth it in so many ways. I highly recommend this site for anyone who wants to be a better person- because even if they don’t use porn they can understand and help people who do.

This podcast doesn’t shy away from the hard topics. They have a diverse range of guests to give the listener a broad view of the many sides to pornography. They ask really good questions of their guests to get the full picture and aren’t afraid of the answers.

As a former porn consumer and addict, the work of FTND is incredible. This podcast is great in how they bring on so many amazing guests to dive deeper into the topic.

Consider Before Consuming sheds a light on a very difficult problem in the world that effects so much of our society without us even knowing. It brings on some incredible guests and insights that help people understand the issues behind the effects of pornography to our daily life, relationships were in and people we will never even meet. It is also presented in a calm, kind, and respectful way that is very welcoming to people wanting to listen. This has helped me a lot in my personal life and the people around me. So thank you and continue the great work!

I love how these interviews are honest conversations about the harmful realities of porn. Educational, inspiring and heartfelt!

FTND consistently provides stories and resources that empower and inspire people to fight the temptations and addiction porn poses. A must-listen podcast, and information that must be spread more!

So thankful for this podcast and the platform it gives to raising awareness surrounding the reality of the harmful effects of pornography! Theses conversations are absolutely necessary in our society and the way FTND navigates these often tough and awkward subjects is with such excellence. Thank you to the FTND team, the survivors, and the people who bravely talk about this topic and bring light and freedom!

This podcast has been extremely useful on encouraging me to stay on track and see the multiple benefits that staying away from porn has. I look forward to each episode.
