Healing the Father Wound, Ending Male Isolation & Reclaiming Gold – with Men’s Healer Rick Broniec
In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, I sit down with internationally respected men’s healer, bestselling author, and workshop facilitator Rick Broniec.

With over 35 years of experience leading men’s trainings on six continents through the Mankind Project, Rick brings deep wisdom on two of the most devastating afflictions facing men today: the epidemic of isolation and the father wound.

We explore why so many men lack meaningful friendships, how early programming blocks emotional intimacy, and how shame around “feminine” qualities suffocates authentic masculinity. Rick unpacks how men are trained to suppress not just their darkness—but also their gold.

You’ll hear why embracing the full spectrum of your emotional and spiritual self is essential to creating a healthy sexual life.

We also dive into Rick’s revolutionary upcoming Sacred Men’s Retreat in Brazil: a week-long ayahuasca-assisted journey of deep men’s work, spiritual healing, and connection, happening July 7–13, 2025.

This retreat is legal, safe, guided by skilled indigenous shamans, and held in a beautiful oceanside resort just outside Rio de Janeiro. If you’ve been called to plant medicine and feel ready to unlock the next level of your healing, this could be the path you’ve been waiting for.

🔥 Topics We Cover:
  • What real male connection looks like (and how to build it)
  • The Classics framework: 8 traits of healthy masculinity
  • The truth about shadow work (yes, even the golden parts we repress)
  • Why so many men act out sexually—and how spiritual wounds play a role
  • How intentional plant medicine work can open your heart and change your life
💡 Whether you’re struggling with sex or porn addiction, feeling alone, or seeking deeper meaning in your masculine journey, this episode is filled with insight, compassion, and powerful next steps.

Sex & Porn Addiction: Why All-or-Nothing Recovery Fails (And What Works Instead
If you've ever promised yourself "never again"—only to fall back into the same compulsive patterns—this episode is for you.

In this raw and powerful lesson, Craig Perra, founder of The Mindful Habit System, exposes why the traditional all-or-nothing, abstinence-only model for treating sex and porn addiction keeps men stuck in shame and failure.

Drawing on the powerful case study of a client named Don, Craig unpacks the psychological cost of using sex to regulate fear, anxiety, and trauma since childhood—and why the key to lasting freedom lies in setting realistic, attainable goals rooted in science, not shame. You’ll learn:
  • Why most men relapse in abstinence-only programs
  • How to separate porn from masturbation as a first harm-reduction step
  • Why frequency, time, and severity must be tracked to build healthy sexuality
  • How to break the perfection/failure cycle and build a culture of success
Whether you're deep in the struggle or supporting a loved one, this episode offers hope, direction, and a radically honest alternative to shame-based recovery.

Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions with Craig Perra (sex addiction, porn addiction, sexual health)
The Real Reason You Can’t Beat Sex & Porn Addiction (And What to Do Instead): Systems
You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

That quote from Atomic Habits by James Clear changed my life—and in this episode, I’m going to show you why it needs to change yours. If you’re struggling with sex and porn addiction, or supporting someone who is, you’re likely overwhelmed, stuck, and maybe even hopeless.

You’ve tried therapy. Support groups. Willpower. White-knuckling it.

But here’s the truth… ➡️ Sex and porn addiction isn’t a “bad habit.” It’s a deeply entrenched coping strategy—wired in childhood, reinforced by shame, supercharged by biology, and sustained by secrecy.

➡️ Most recovery plans obsess over the problem—but few focus on the systems that build lasting transformation.

➡️ That’s why so many men fail. In this episode, I’ll break down:
  • Why this quote is mandatory training if you want to build healthy sexuality and a great life
  • Why sex and porn addiction is so hard to break
  • How your biology, early exposure, shame, and emotional repression create a perfect storm
  • And the 9 essential systems of The Mindful Habit System—developed over 13 years, used by thousands of men, and built to help you take back control of your life
These systems are the foundation for sustained success:
  1. Purpose & Direction
  2. Risk Management
  3. Self-Leadership (including self-control & self-esteem)
  4. Accountability
  5. Community & Connection
  6. Mindfulness & Faith
  7. Gratitude
  8. Healthy Sexuality
If you don’t have your own system—borrow mine. I’m Craig Perra, founder of The Mindful Habit. I help high-performing professionals—doctors, lawyers, executives, and men around the world—break free from destructive sexual behaviors and create powerful lives rooted in integrity, connection, and purpose.

▶️ Watch. Take notes. Reflect. This is the stuff no one taught us—but it's what we all need.

Resentment Will Destroy You: A Must-Listen for Men Struggling w Sex & Porn Addiction
Resentment is silently fueling your addiction and sabotaging your recovery—and most men don’t even know it’s happening. In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, Craig Perra, world-renowned coach and creator of The Mindful Habit System, exposes the hidden force that keeps men stuck in cycles of shame, secrecy, and sabotage: resentment. If you're battling sex addiction or porn addiction, chances are you're also fighting a part of you that feels controlled, dismissed, or unheard. That resentful part becomes the justifier—the one who says, “Why bother?”… “She’ll never forgive me”… “I’ll never be good enough.” Inside this episode:
  • How resentment becomes the fuel for relapse and acting out
  • The truth about your power dynamic post-D-Day (Discovery Day)
  • Why traditional therapy often misses this key internal battle
  • The game-changing impact of parts work (think Pixar's Inside Out for grown men in recovery)
  • How to stop reacting and start leading your resentful part with self-leadership
  • And how journaling, awareness, and mindfulness can transform resentment from a saboteur to an ally
You’ll learn why this internal part of you was trained to keep score, how it developed, and how to finally break free by meeting your needs proactively instead of reactively. Whether you're in the early stages of healing or years into recovery, this episode will give you the language, insight, and tools you need to finally stop feeding the wrong wolf—and start taking your power back.

From Wounds to Wisdom: Healing, Forgiveness, and Healthy Boundaries with Barbie Moreno
In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, Craig Perra sits down with Barbie Moreno, founder of From Wounds to Wisdom, to explore the deep connection between childhood trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and the path to healing. This conversation isn't just for men struggling with compulsive sexual behavior but also for their betrayed spouses seeking understanding, strength, and hope.

Barbie shares her raw journey from childhood abuse and corporate success to postpartum depression and an identity crisis that shattered everything she knew. Through mindfulness, breathwork, EMDR, and self-compassion, she rebuilt her life and now helps others do the same.

For men battling addiction, this episode reveals how unresolved trauma drives destructive behaviors—and why true healing starts with facing your past and reclaiming self-worth. For partners, Barbie sheds light on why betrayal cuts so deeply and how healing your own wounds empowers you to set healthy boundaries, demand respect, and reclaim your life—whether you stay in the relationship or not.

Key takeaways include:
  • Why trauma changes the brain—and how to rewire it for resilience.
  • How shame fuels addiction and undermines intimacy for both partners.
  • Why forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, not your abuser.
  • How to build healthy boundaries without guilt or fear.
  • Practical steps for healing, growth, and reclaiming personal power.
If you're ready to break free from the cycle of pain and start living a life of authenticity and connection, tune in. Healing is possible—for both of you.

To Learn More About The Mindful Habit and Craig: www.mindfulhabithelp.com

In this video, Craig Perra discusses CSATs (Certified Sex Addiction Therapists) and the treatment of sex addiction. He explores the role of CSATs, founded by Dr. Patrick Carnes, who use a trauma-informed, 12-step model focusing on lifelong sobriety.

Despite the benefits some find in CSATs, Craig highlights the significant debate surrounding the model, noting that the American Psychiatric Association does not recognize sex addiction as a formal diagnosis.

He emphasizes finding a therapy approach and therapist with whom you connect deeply.

Additionally, Craig presents his approach, The Mindful Habit, which combines healthy sexuality aspects with the addiction model to achieve a fulfilling life beyond sobriety.
