Founder of The Mindful Habit System, Craig Perra dives deep into the world of triggers and how they play a crucial role in overcoming sex and porn addiction. He offers a fresh perspective on viewing triggers not as enemies but as teachers. Craig defines what triggers are, explains their role in the habit cycle, and shares four essential points about triggers that are vital for long-term success.

This podcast provides a comprehensive overview, from understanding the habit cycles presented in popular books like The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and Atomic Habits by James Clear to Mindful Habit System's unique approach. 

Craig discusses the biology and evolutionary purpose of triggers, highlighting why they are hardwired into our bodies and not going away. Craig also emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-sexual triggers and using them as indicators for unmet needs. By addressing the root causes of these triggers, listeners can gain control over their compulsive behaviors and create positive behavioral changes.

Tune in to learn how to transform your triggers into empowering tools for growth, and discover practical steps to manage discomfort and avoid relapse. Whether you're battling sex or porn addiction or seeking better emotional regulation, you'll find invaluable insights in this episode.

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.
