For Porn-Resilient speakers, my aim is to connect YOU with the people you can help best.

Praise for Past
Porn-Resilient Events
Kolton
Just wanted to share a deep thanks for the work you put into this project. I appreciate the wide range of perspectives you incorporated into it. It was like a think tank dealing with porn, super insightful for me!
Chris
AÂ really great interview and I so relate to the idea of this being a "wrong choice for whatever reason" model - rather than hiding behind the "I have no control I'm an addict / this is an addiction" model. Thanks to both!
David
Thank you for all the work you did putting [the event] all together with such great experts in their craft. I kept saying to my partner that I feel as though I came across gold dust, as the value I've found in the discussions have been invaluable. I feel a lot more confident now working with addiction in general now and have been able to apply important concepts with a client that was enormously helpful.
Brian
I wanted to express gratitude for the time, energy, and mobilization of valuable resources for the Resilience Summit you put together. It was very inspiring, thought provoking, informative and I so appreciate your contribution. Many thanks!
Dan
Thanks so much for what you have done through all those interviews. Helped me to see that I'm not alone in my addiction.
Chris
EXCELLENT and thank you to both of you for some great information.
Hannah
Such an outstanding interview! As an occupational therapist, I appreciate the wholistic approach that addresses the body as it responds to the brain, as well as its capacity to be retrained.
Beau
In my journey to Recovered THIS video has been the most inspiring yet. I saw it was around 40 minutes long……It felt 10 minutes because it was so engaging to me. I’ll be watching it again. Thx so much.
