Welcome back Dr. Eddie Capparucci as we dive deep into his first book "Removing Your Shame Label: Learning to Embrace God's Love When You Don't Like Yourself." This episode explores why shame, not just the behavior itself, is the primary barrier keeping men trapped in problematic sexual behavior and addiction.

We dive into the first several chapters of the book and Steve asks Dr. Capparucci questions to dive into each chapter. Tune in as we talk about understanding how God sees us and removing your shame label. I highly recommend reading this book if you struggle with shame.

We open with the saint of the day, St. Scholastica (feast day February 10th), whose life embodies a powerful truth for recovery: "She was able to do more because she loved more." Real change doesn't come from trying harder, it comes from learning to love and be loved and channeling that appropriately.

About Dr. Eddie Capparucci: Dr. Eddie is a licensed therapist specializing in sexual addiction and problematic sexual behavior, author of multiple books including "Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Impacts Your Sexual Addiction," and founder of the Inner Child Model for treatment.

When outpatient therapy isn't enough, what comes next? In this essential episode, Gina Kaye joins us to discuss residential treatment for men facing extreme sexual addiction and intimacy disorders and why intensive, in-person care can be the turning point toward lasting recovery.

Gina brings a unique perspective as both a trained health educator and former pastor's wife, offering insights into how Begin Again Institute bridges clinical excellence with faith-based support. In a powerful and personal moment, Gina shares part of her own story and why she's dedicated her career to this often-stigmatized field. Whether you're struggling yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply wondering when "rock bottom" means it's time for more intensive help, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a practical roadmap forward.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Gina's personal journey and what led her to dedicate her life to helping men and families affected by sexual addiction
• What residential treatment actually looks like
• Signs that outpatient therapy may not be sufficient and when to consider intensive care
• Who benefits most from in-person, immersive treatment programs
• How residential programs address betrayal trauma and support partners through their own healing journey
• The role of faith in clinical treatment settings
• First steps to take if you're considering residential treatment for yourself or a loved one

In this powerful episode, Steve speaks with Maribel Laguna, founder of Cor Sacrum Counseling and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), for an honest conversation about pornography addiction, shame, and recovery from a Catholic perspective. Whether you're personally struggling with problematic sexual behavior or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope, practical wisdom, and a path forward rooted in faith and clinical expertise.

We explore three critical areas: shame reduction and why shame keeps people trapped in destructive cycles, cultural pain points that make men vulnerable to pornography in today's world, and why pornography use continues to rise despite its devastating impacts. Maribel shares insights from her clinical practice.

This conversation is compassionate, direct, and grounded in the reality that freedom is possible. If you've ever wondered why this struggle feels so impossible to overcome, or if you're searching for real answers beyond "just stop," this episode will meet you where you are and point you toward lasting healing. You're not alone, and there is hope.
