In this episode of Sex, God, & Chaos, Roane Hunter and Ben Derrick dive into the concept of emotional dysregulation and its significant role in addiction recovery. They discuss how emotional dysregulation—essentially the inability to manage emotions under stress—is often rooted in childhood experiences. For many men, this lack of emotional awareness can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms like pornography.
Roane and Ben emphasise the importance of understanding core emotions (mad, sad, glad, afraid) and developing healthier ways to cope with them. The duo also explores the challenges of emotional communication within relationships, stressing the need for mutual curiosity and community support to manage emotional triggers and behaviours. The conversation is rich with anecdotes and practical advice, making it both relatable and actionable.
By the end of the episode, you'll have a better grasp of why emotional regulation is key to both recovery and a fulfilling life. If you're looking to understand your emotions better and improve your coping strategies, this episode is a must-listen.
