Prioritizing Self-Care: Piper Post's Essential Guide for Wives Facing Pornography Addiction
All you need is Jesus, who heals you through his word: prayer, meditation, community, good food, movement, therapy and rest. If you are the wife of a porn user, this podcast is here to encourage you and strengthen you right where you are.
Picture this: you're on a plane, and the oxygen masks drop. What do you do first? In this episode of 'Porn Apart', host Piper Post uses this familiar analogy to drive home a crucial point for wives dealing with their husband's pornography addiction: you must take care of yourself before you can help anyone else. Piper dives into three key reasons why self-care is not just a luxury but a necessity in these challenging circumstances.
She emphasizes that your well-being is paramount and that God has a plan specifically for you. If you're suffocating, you can't be there for others. Piper shares practical tips on how to start focusing on your own healing, from establishing a prayer routine to the benefits of community support, therapy, rest, and nourishing food. This episode isn't just about coping; it's about thriving.
Piper also touches on the eight pillars of healing she advocates on 'Porn Apart': prayer, meditation, community, good food, movement, therapy, rest, and Jesus. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just need a reminder to put yourself first, this episode offers a compassionate and practical roadmap to recovery.
