About Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions with Craig Perra (sex addiction, porn addiction, sexual health)
Patterns of Power is the essential playbook for MEN: high performers, executives, and leaders ready to dismantle the reactive habits that limit their potential and step fully into their POWER. Hosted by Craig Perra, world-renowned coach and creator of The Mindful Habit® System, this show utilizes a framework that evolved from treating the most severe addictions into a comprehensive leadership model. We recognize that for a leader, a distraction is not just a bad habit—it represents a massive cost to your focus, your influence, and your legacy. We move beyond the limited "addiction model" to a Leadership Model. We view every distraction—whether it is imposter syndrome, anger, gambling, shopping, procrastination, shutting down, doomscrolling, porn, alcohol, or overwork—as a failure of self-leadership, and an immediate opportunity to reclaim your power. From Chaos to Command: Craig’s methodology is forged in fire. Once a top corporate executive fired by billion-dollar companies while battling addictions to heroin, stimulants, sex, and work, Craig hit rock bottom. Diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar II, he realized traditional therapy and 12-step programs weren't enough. He rebuilt his life by engineering a new framework: The Mindful Habit® System. His expertise and transformation have been featured on The Steve Harvey Show, The Katie Couric Show, A&E's Digital Addiction, Good Morning Sacramento, and the BBC. Who This Is For This system has helped thousands of leaders in over 30 countries—including CEOs of global corporations, Olympians, professional athletes, and 7, 8, and 9-figure entrepreneurs —move from reactivity to radical self-ownership. Craig holds space for leaders at the highest levels, teaching them that any place where you are reactive is a place where you must lead. "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." Blending neuroscience, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and habit formation, this podcast delivers a science-based alternative to the "recovery" mindset, focusing instead on strategic self-governance. In each episode, you will learn to: Stop Coping, Start Leading: Transform reactive behaviors (getting defensive, checking out, acting out) into conscious, executive decisions. Command Your Physiology: Master the biology of stress and anxiety to maintain composure under pressure. Weaponize Your Story: Turn your deepest shame and worst patterns into your greatest assets for leadership. Establish Sovereignty: Build habits that align with your purpose, relationships, and performance, rather than your impulses. What started as a way to treat sex and porn addiction has evolved into a self-leadership model that helps men quickly step into and stay in their power. If you are a leader ready to stop hiding, start leading, and turn your chaos into clarity—Welcome to Patterns of Power.

The Most Dangerous Place for a Successful Man: “Successful Enough” | Craig Perra
Published 9 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] What payoff do I get from these behaviors? What need is it meeting? You know the rule here, right? All behavior is need-seeking behavior. All the habits you hate about yourself are trained condition responses, meeting needs the way you were trained to meet those needs that are no longer helping and making it worse. It is so important for successful men to dive into and learn more about the patterns that you have today that are having a cost are the same ones that make you successful, right? So high performers have an incredible ability to compartmentalize, true or false, right? And that helps you to have like a fire when you left the house and be able to go to work and just boom, boom, boom, step into that role. […]
