Overcoming Sex and Porn Addiction

 ”You can’t just pray this away. You can’t hope for some spiritual awakening that makes it all go away. Those awakenings are called emotional catharsis, and they are fleeting.” 

In this powerful episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, Karen McMahon sits down with Craig Perra, a global leader in sex and porn addiction recovery. Craig explores the deep-rooted causes of compulsive sexual behavior, especially in high-achieving men and women navigating high-conflict divorce. He shares how lack of self-love, shame, and isolation fuel addiction—and how accountability and community drive healing.

For partners of sex addicts, Craig offers empowering insights and guidance on separating their self-worth from their partner’s behavior. Learn how to break toxic cycles, protect your children with healthy conversations about sexuality, and take real steps toward recovery.
