    Porn Addiction, Shame & How to Break the Cycle | Jeremy Lipkowitz

    Jeremy Lipkowitz knows what it’s like to struggle with an addiction that thrives in secrecy and shame. His own experience with porn addiction became the beginning of an unexpected journey that eventually took him from studying genetics and genomics to becoming a Buddhist monk, meditation teacher, coach, and founder of Unhooked Academy. On this episode of Wake Up with Marci, Jeremy and I have an honest conversation about porn addiction, compulsive behavior, shame, and what may really be underneath the urge to escape. We talk about why shame can keep people trapped, how mindfulness can create space between an urge and an action, why community matters in recovery, and how porn addiction can affect intimacy, trust, and relationships. And most importantly, we talk about what recovery is really about: not simply stopping a behavior, but creating a life you no longer need to escape from. If you or someone you love is struggling privately with compulsive behavior, this is a conversation you’ll want to hear. Jeremy Lipkowitz is a former Buddhist monk, meditation teacher, ICF-certified executive coach, founder of Unhooked Academy, and host of the Unhooked Podcast.
