Making progress toward quitting porn can feel overwhelming when you focus too far into the future. In this episode, Coach Hunter Garrett shares the daily practice that helped him work toward overcoming pornography and learn to process urges without fear.
Hunter walks through the CTFAR model, a tool for understanding how circumstances, thoughts, feelings, and actions influence the results you create. He explains how using this model every day helped him set a goal he could work toward in the present, recognize which thoughts supported his progress, and choose actions that moved him toward the result he wanted.
Tune in this week to learn how to apply the CTFAR model to your own goals, build a daily practice that supports your progress, and focus on small wins as you develop the skills to overcome pornography.

Masturbation can bring up a lot of shame, fear, and conflicting messages about what is healthy or acceptable. In this episode, I explore the research and common myths surrounding masturbation, including why it’s important to understand the difference between the behavior itself and the distress you may feel about it.
I explain what the research says about masturbation, when it can become harmful, and how misinformation and sexual shame can shape the way you think about your sexuality. We’ll also explore how religious beliefs, guilt, and black-and-white thinking can influence your experience, and why you get to make your own decisions about your body and sexual behavior.

Urges are not something you have to fear or fight against. In this second episode of a four-part series on the pillars needed to overcome pornography, I talk about mindful urge management and how learning to work with your urges can help you stop feeling controlled by them.

Commitment is required to quit pornography, but the kind of commitment you create matters. In this first episode of a four-part series on the pillars needed to overcome pornography, I talk about why shame-free commitment is the foundation for lasting change.
I explain why commitment does not mean being perfect, never struggling, or quitting immediately. Instead, true commitment means being willing to do the work, learn the skills you need, and continue moving forward even when things do not go exactly as planned.
You’ll learn how all-or-nothing thinking can interfere with your commitment, how to identify the limiting beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, and why creating commitment from a place of worthiness and dignity instead of shame can change the way you approach quitting pornography.

Your present desire and your future desire can feel like they’re competing with each other. In this episode, I talk about the difference between these two desires and why understanding them can help you create a more compelling reason to quit pornography.
I explain why your present desire often focuses on immediate pleasure, escape, or relief, while your future desire is connected to the life you want to create. You’ll learn why fear and shame are not strong motivators for change and how connecting with your future self can help you make choices that align with what you truly want.
You’ll learn how to identify what your pornography use may be keeping you from creating, why shifting from consumption to creation can change your perspective, and how to love your future self enough to make choices that support the life you want.

What if accepting yourself can actually be the thing that helps you change? In this episode, I talk about why self-acceptance can feel confusing when you’re trying to quit pornography or become a better version of yourself. It can seem like accepting where you are means giving up, but the opposite is often true.
I explain why the more you accept yourself, the easier it becomes to change, and why shame, defeat, and feeling like you’re not good enough often make it harder to take sustainable action. We’ll explore the difference between acceptance and justification, and why changing from a place of self-love creates a stronger foundation for growth.
You’ll learn why acceptance is not the same as staying stuck, how your thoughts and emotions influence the actions you take, and how practicing self-acceptance can help you create lasting change. This episode will help you shift from fighting yourself to supporting yourself as you work toward the life you want.
