You probably don't realize it, but the unhealed six-year-old version of you is likely calling the shots in your adult life, your marriage and your addiction. Most recovery focuses entirely on behavior modification, internet filters and willpower—and most of it fails because it treats the symptom while ignoring the wounded child behind the wheel.

In this episode, we sit down with Steve O'Connor from Catholics Fight Porn to break down the Inner Child Model created by Dr. Eddie Capparucci. We explore how childhood neglect and trauma fuel adult sexual addiction, how to practically apply the Inner Child framework to your recovery and why individual healing is paramount—even inside a marriage.
