Using Acceptance Commitment Therapy

What Is It?

Try Differently is an ever growing collection of resources that provide you tools, tips, and hope in overcoming pornography.

It emphasizes that trying harder or doing more isn’t usually the issue, but rather needing a different approach to begin making progress. Utilizing an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy framework, a trauma-informed lens, and a sex-positive perspective, you will learn to engage your struggle in a new and hopeful way with tools focused on:

  • increasing mindfulness and self-awareness to better recognize physical and emotional patterns that keep you stuck

  • learning to sit with urges and uncomfortable emotions rather than being afraid of them

  • practicing self-compassion without becoming complacent in living your values.

🎯 You’ll Learn To:

  • Challenge shame & fear narratives that have impeded change

  • View your struggle as an opportunity rather than an obstacle.

  • Sit with uncomfortable feelings through body awareness and mindfulness.

  • Increase personal openness and dialogue that will help in all areas of life, not just in topics pertaining to pornography

  • Differentiate between pornography use, dependency, and addiction (and create a personal plan based on where you are.)
