Overcoming Porn Addiction with Mindfulness, with Jeremy Lipkowitz and Sean Fargo

Most addictions arise from an effort to mask, avoid or escape from pain and suffering. What’s more, the shame that is common to addiction increases our pain, making it challenging to seek treatment. 

In this episode, Sean Fargo speaks with Jeremy Lipkowitz, a mindfulness meditation teacher and coach who helps people overcome their addictions to porn and digital media. Jeremy is a teacher with Mindfulness Exercises and the host of the podcast,  Unhooked: Breaking Porn Addiction. He explains how mindfulness and its heart-based practices can help free us not just from porn, but from any addictive behavior.
