One of the greatest dangers in recovery is that we simply replace one addiction with another.

Inspired by an upcoming interview with Benji Nolot of Exodus Cry, Sathiya shares the 5 ways that pornography and sex trafficking intersect. While these two subjects are often discussed separately, the reality is they are inextricably linked in rather disturbing ways. By understanding the correlation between the two, you may think twice the next time you feel tempted to watch porn.
1) Predatory nature of prostitution
2) Non-consenting is the norm for prostitutes (and then the films are released online)
3) Child victims of sex trafficking are shown pornography as a way to groom them into sex trafficking in the name of love
4) Pornography fuels men's appetite for prostitution
5) Pornography is created through multiple layers of coercion (not abduction)

468 - How To Squash Relapse Anxiety
At some point in recovery, you will experience anxiety about a relapse, especially as you make progress. Today's episode outlines 2 areas you must address when experiencing relapse anxiety. The first is the real reason for the anxiety.

Secondly, we want to "fear-set" any anxiety we experience, especially when we make progress. What is the worst case scenario? How would you respond? Would you survive? Often fear-setting is exactly what is needed to give us a lift past the obstacles we're facing.

389 - How To Overcome Fear of Losing Progress, pt 2
A continuation of yesterday's episode, today's segment looks at the importance of identify formation and shifting when progress is made. Once you have identified the insecurity undergirding the fear (as explored in pt 1), it is then time to embrace the new identify that is forming. Failure to do so inevitably leads to relapse and a return to old ways.

388 - How To Overcome Fear of Losing Progress, pt 1
Progress is the name of the game when it comes to recovery. Unless God performs a miracle, the reality is that recovery takes time (and to be honest - even a miracle takes time before it finally happens usually!).
Today's episode talks about a common experience many men face when progress starts to take place – the fear of losing it! When you are at rock bottom, the only way is up. When you start to head up, then you have something to lose. For someone who has a history of relapse, broken promises, and cyclical behavior, progress can be scary and fuel the pressure of recovery. This episode provides the first step you must take when you begin to experience this fear, otherwise you will likely revert back to your old ways eventually.

387 - Is Porn A Relaxant or A Stimulant?
Often, we talk about the importance of asking "What is porn offering me?" from a heart-level/emotional perspective. Questions like thes give us insights into the more fundamental needs that are being met through our sexual behavior. While useful, they also have limitations.
Today's episode explores a new question that has a similar effect from a neurobiological perspective – is porn functioning as a relaxant or a stimulant? Once you can identify the role porn is playing in your neurobiology, you will be able to devise appropriate solutions that will keep your brain happy without getting into trouble.

386 - If You Love Me, You’ll Obey My Commandments
Today's episode explores a statement that is often seen in scripture, "If you love me, you'll obey my commands." While most interpret this as a 'proof' statement – by obeying God's commandments you prove your love for him – this statement also has a cause and effect layer to it. As we love God more, we become positioned to better obey his commandments.

385 - Juli Slattery on The Reason God Created Sex, Why Most Misunderstand Biblical Sexuality, and Why Leaders Deserve Help More Than Anyone Else
Dr. Juli Slattery is a clinical psychologist, author, speaker and the president/co-founder of Authentic Intimacy. Juli earned her college degree at Wheaton College, an MA in psychology from Biola University, and an MS and a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from Florida Institute of Technology.
From 2008-2012, Dr. Slattery served at Focus on the Family writing, teaching, and co-hosting the Focus on the Family Broadcast. In 2012, she left Focus on the Family to start Authentic Intimacy, a ministry devoted to reclaiming God’s design for sexuality. In 2020, Juli launched SexualDiscipleship.com, a platform designed to help Christian leaders navigate sexual issues and questions with gospel-centered truth. Juli is the author of twelve books, including the newly released "God, Sex, and Your Marriage," and host of the weekly podcast “Java with Juli.” Juli and her husband Mike are the parents of 3 sons; they live in Akron, Ohio.
On today's episode, she and Sathiya explore the true meaning of Biblical sexuality, and why this conversation spans far beyond "don't have sex before marriage" and "God designed sex, therefore sex is good." Specifically, Juli explains how the broader narrative of scripture enables us to understand more specific scriptures that address matters related to sex, why everything in creation is designed to reveal God (sex included), and how a Biblical approach to sex permits us to embrace our sexuality rather than avoid it.
In the second half, the interview talks about how leaders can both get the help they deserve while also helping those in their realm of care and responsibility get the help they deserve. Dr. Juli is a wealth of knowledge – if you have any interest in better understanding your sexuality through a biblical lens, this episode was made for you.

Roughly 10% of men and 14% of women admit to having same-sex attraction, yet only a small percentage of each group identifies as gay/lesbian. Today's three-way conversation with Shane O'Neill (Proven Men Ministries), Drew Boa (Husband Material) and Sathiya talks about experiencing same-sex attraction as a heterosexual man, why our binary approach to sexuality often creates a lot of confusion in Christian circles, and why sexual fluidity and hetero-fluidity are necessary concepts for us to truly make sense of our God-given attraction.
Regardless of your sexual orientation, this episode is worth a listen if you want to better understand your own attractions, curiosities, and thought life with a Bible-based and research-backed lens.

All behaviors are the results of thoughts, if you can focus on mindsets first and behaviors second, you will become more powerful in your execution and more agile in the many seasons of life.

Today's episode unpacks this concept with several examples to give you a handle on your experience of anger.

Shannon Ethridge is a million-copy best-selling author, international speaker, certified life coach, and advocate for healthy sexuality with a master’s degree in counseling/ human relations from Liberty University. She boldly speaks to high school and college students, single adults, and married couples about embracing a lifestyle of sexual integrity, overcoming past sexual & emotional baggage, cultivating genuine intimacy in marriage, and instilling sexual values in young children.
In today's episode she and Sathiya talk about how to interpret sexual fantasies, and why they may not be as detrimental as you think. In fact, Shannon makes an argument that if you truly understand the origins of your sexual fantasies, you can leverage them to strengthen your sexual experiences whether you're single or married. Shannon also shares about whether not masturbation is a sin, several case studies of former clients who were able to heal from sexual trauma and have thriving sex lives, what women really experience when they are engaging in sex, and necessary paradigm shifts the church must make to truly enjoy sex again.

352 - 5 Signs Recovery Is Around The Corner
The reason most fail to recover from porn addiction is not because of a lack of knowledge, resource or execution – often times it is because of a lack of hope. Somewhere along the way, we become convinced that our efforts aren't enough, the solutions we've picked won't work for us, and we wonder if anything will ever work.
Today's episode provides 5 indicators that reveal you are on the right track in your recovery efforts. This list is not comprehensive, but should give you a decent idea of whether or not you have good reason to feel hopeful as you progress to lasting freedom.
1) Better responses to relapses
2) More comfortable engaging inner life
3) More comfortable sharing inner life with others
4) Improved confidence
5) The presence of joy

349 - Skills Are Taught, Character Is Caught
Recovery requires both skill acquisition and character development, however both are acquired through different means. Skills are taught, which means anyone can develop the necessary abilities to make a full recovery. Meanwhile character is caught, in other words, it is most developed by being around people of good character (ref 1 Corinthians 15:33). You must be certain that your recovery approach does not confuse the two – skills are not caught, and character is not best taught. Ideally, your recovery solution will involve a conglomerate of both – learning skills while being surrounded by men of character that are able to push you in both areas.
The episode ends with an opportunity to assess which of these areas requires more attention in order for you to move past your current barrier into the next layer of freedom.

A follow-up to Episode 347, today's content deep dives into why we must have both the memory of an elephant and a goldfish if we want to make a long-term recovery. The memory of an elephant allows us to be conscious of our strengths, to learn from our past mistakes, and to ensure that we stay wise.

The better you grasp true fulfillment in life, the clearer your path to freedom will be.

Today's interview is a special one as we dive deep into a recent recovery story that has taken place in the DeepClean community. Stories like these are important for all of us to hear – it reminds us that God is on the move NOW and that freedom is possible for everyone.
Leshan and his wife were fighting daily, sometimes going days without speaking to each other, and even getting into physical altercations. His patience was thin, temper was high, and porn was driving much of his problemed behavior. Getting professional help felt risky and as he shares in today's interview, Leshan had his doubts, but he knew that something had to change.
With each lesson and session, hope began to rise, until one day his wife remarked that he wasn't short with her the way he usually was. That's when he realized the tide was turning. Six months of freedom later, Leshan and his wife have never been happier, and he feels confident that he will be able to walk further into God's calling on his life.

Today's episode explores the unique counter-play between emotional danger and psychological safety. Often we find comfort in the familiar, even when the familiar is toxic and working against us. Sometimes the reason that evoking positive change in your life is so challenging is because it poses as a threat to what we are comfortable with. This irony can often cause us to stay in what's comfortable, even though it is problematic. However, when you become aware of the dynamic, you can find a much better option to handle the changes that come with recovery.

Today's episode uses a recent case study to examine the power of giving someone with a rigid upbringing permission to watch porn and how it empowered him to choose against it.
If your solutions so far have been will power, white-knuckling, and denying porn as an option, you will find some liberating truths in this episode.

241 - Why A Hobby Could Dramatically Improve Your Life
In the early years of adulthood, hobbies are more or less built into our lives. But as careers develop and families begin to grow, without intentionality hobbies typically fall to the wayside. This is a huge travesty, as hobbies provide cushioning between stimulus and response, and conditioning to create separation between responsibilities and roles in our live. Both of these are vital for long-term freedom, and today's episode explains why (while offering many examples of a hobby you could begin today).

If you have dealt with any degree of self-hatred before, you will understand just how taxing the experience can be. Typically self-hatred is when we explain discrepancies, uncertainties, and shortcomings in life using inner measures.
While we know that self-compassion, turning to God, and finding places of belonging are important, these solutions are often executed prematurely, having minimal effect as a result. Instead, you must first address the issue of control in the situation.
Today's episode explains why, how, and the beautiful benefits of following this process.

202 - If You Want To Be A Lion, Don’t Train With Sheep
The biggest mistake you can make pursuing freedom from pornography is doing it alone. The second biggest mistake is pursuing freedom exclusively with others who are struggling. To truly experience freedom, you must surround yourself with "lions" – men who are fiercely pursuing and/or protecting their freedom at all costs. This will put you on the right path. Once you are surrounded, "training" then becomes the focus. This is how you expedite your recovery.

175 - 5 Must-Read Porn Addiction Books
When I was addicted to porn for 15 years, there were almost zero resources out there offering any kind of useful insight or support to recover from porn addiction. In fact, the lack of resources that I experienced during my recovery is what fueled me to create this daily podcast. Thankfully, more resources are available today than ever before and I wanted to share with you a few that I highly recommend. You'll notice that some of these resources are more directly tied to porn addiction than others, and there is a good reason for that. Sometimes the best resources don't necessary speak straight to the issue, they speak straight to the heart. If they heal the heart, they'll likely help the addiction too.

152 - How To Overcome People Pleasing
Today's episode explores a common issue many men face today – people pleasing. Ironically, people pleasing behavior is usually done to protect the relationship, when in reality, it causes long-term damage. If you cannot show up authentically in a relationship, it will suffer. This episode gives you the following four questions to ask yourself if you are struggling with people pleasing behavior of any kind, using a personal example from Sathiya's life to illustrate their application:
1) What am I afraid of?
2) What lie is driving my fear?
3) What is the truth?
4) What does it look like to act on the truth?

151 - The Reason Why You‘re Viewing Things That Disgust You
If you've ever engaged in pornography, you know that it can be a slippery slope. Thresholds for pleasure and content intensity can increase, leading us to places we never imagined were possible. It is important to know that for starters, you are not defined by what you watch, no matter how dark/intense it may be. There are neurological concepts at play that often drive us to these places, namely:
1) Novelty enhances pleasure
2) Neural associations form in moments of curiosity
Today's episode deep dives into these two concepts, using personal stories and examples to illustrate the power they have in addiction.

150 - How To Appropriately Use An Internet Filter
A lot of the messaging in this podcast and DeepClean can come across as "anti-filter", when in reality, internet filters can have an essential place in the porn recovery process. The mistake men commonly make is relying exlusively on the filter – this can lead to disastrous outcomes. When a filter is supplementary to an inner transformation process (program, counseling, coaching, etc), it can be highly beneficial, provided it is used appropriately. Today's episode explains exactly how you can do that.

Generally speaking, people are quick to lump sexual interests, orientation and identity into one, when in reality these are three distinct subjects. Today's podcasts provides an overview of each concept while explaining how they can work separately and in conjunction with one another. A few important takeaways:
-Sexual interests are conditioned and changeable
-Just because you watch same sex porn doesn't mean you are homosexual
-Novelty and anxiety enhance pleasure - they do not necessarily indicate orientation

143 - Being Humiliated Could Be The Best Thing For Your Growth
Today's episode is inspired by Stephen covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, touching on the importance of understanding process and letting people into your specific place in a process. Male tendency is to put on a façade making it appear that we know more/are further ahead than we really are. As a result, we rob ourselves of gaining the knowledge necessary to simply move to the next step in the process, ultimately hindering our growth. When we embrace humility and learn to honestly let leaders in, a world of change becomes possible.

130 - The (Myth) of Toxic Masculinity
Toxic masculinity is the notion that all men should be tough, aggressive, antifeminine, and dominant. These characteristics can be true of men, but they are not a requirement, which is why they have been termed as 'toxic.' However, in response, a new male prototype has been created – one that is highly sensitive, feminine, soft, and passive. This pendulum swing has been equally problematic. Today's episode explores these concepts in greater detail while offering a different definition for masculinity: The authentic male is inherently masculine.

76 - How A Renowned Male Stripper (Rob Kowalski) Became A Best-Selling Abstinence Author
Rob Kowalski was raised by a 15 yr old mother with no strong male role model in the picture. He taught himself how to “be a man”, and eventually became the most sought-after male stripper in his hometown of Baltimore. At 25, he became a nightclub promoter and took over the nightlife in Charm City. His life looked like something out of a movie - full of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Then he had a radical life-changing encounter with Jesus that transformed him forever. God turned his mess into his message and he is now considered the #1 authority on sex, waiting for the right person, and overcoming loneliness in life. In this candid interview, Rob details his story while explaining the importance of men having an adventure (to escape boredom) and the benefits of waiting until marriage to have sex in very practical terms.
DISCLAIMER: Rob uses slightly more colorful language than our average guests and his background story is graphic at times. Listener discretion is advised.

56 - Barry Adams (Father's Love Letter) On How To Experience God's Love Tangibly
Today Sathiya sits down with Barry Adams, the author of the Father's Love Letter. After a very emotional response from the congregation to a simple sermon illustration in 1999, Barry decided to post the video online. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that this compilation of paraphrased Bible passages would transform millions of people around the world and be translated into over 100 languages.
Growing in your identity and experiencing God's tangible love are some of the core concepts of experiencing freedom in life, and staples to the DeepClean methodology. This simple sermon illustration perfectly embodies these concepts and will be extremely valuable for you in a recovery context. If you're looking to love yourself more and become more confident in your own skin, you will want to hear this interview.

Today's episode breaks down the common myths around the subject of freedom while bringing a much clearer definition of the term. With more clarity comes the opportunity to walk in more freedom, starting now.
