This episode tackles the profound question: "Why? Why do I keep doing this? Why can't I stop?" We dive deep into the roots of problematic sexual behavior, moving beyond shame to understand the complex interplay of factors that drive us. There are 7 "Why's" outlined to help you learn that these struggles often stem from misdirected natural instincts, emotional dysregulation and unmet human needs, rather than just a simple "lack of willpower."

We explore the brain's reward system and how behaviors can "hijack" the brain, creating powerful cravings that make breaking free incredibly difficult. Discover how early wounds and traumas, along with the pervasive influence of modern culture, contribute to these patterns. Drawing from Catholic wisdom, we frame this battle within the context of concupiscence—our wounded human nature inclined to do evil —and the constant call to spiritual battle.

Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to humble, prayerful introspection, guiding you to identify your own "whys" with the help of God's grace. It's the essential first step towards reclaiming your freedom and pursuing a life of authentic purity and joy in Christ. Enjoy and please consider sharing with someone you know that can benefit.
