About What We Really Want: Conversations About Connection
FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE to download new episodes as they release! If it's true that "...the opposite of addiction is not sobriety...the opposite of addiction is connection," there are lots of people who need to discover what true, healthy connection looks like. Whether the struggle is with addiction, toxic relationship dynamics, or something else, we've all tried to meet our needs in unhealthy ways. Way too often, the things we run to for comfort leave us feeling even more disconnected and alone than before. Through conversations about the many ways we can connect, we offer an invitation to discover and move toward what we really want, so we can live the lives we were created for. Awaken (awakenrecovery.com) helps men and women whose lives have been wrecked by unwanted/addictive sexual behaviors and sexual betrayal trauma. We hope the podcast will help not only those struggling sexually, but anyone who seeks healthier ways of finding connection.

Published 27 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] How many times have you found yourself triggered to act out and you weren't even feeling aroused in your body? And it's so much of the time. So if you're drawn to sexual activity when your body is not even sexually aroused, there's something else going on. How many times have you gone to the pantry and grabbed a sweet snack when you weren't even hungry? And it's all the time. So there's something that we want, but there's something deeper. But we've gotten so used to just looking on the top shelf, on the surface. […]
