Going Deeper with Eddie Capparucci

17 years and one month after starting the ASI podcast I start episode one of the series finale. An epilogue for the ASI podcast.

Unpacking some history of the ASI podcast. 15 years of unpacking stubborn unwanted behavior. explaining some themes hopefully answering some questions like... What’s it like working to understanding the mystery and meaning of motivation? Do I consider myself a kind of a SA pioneer? What if any credibility of Russ Shaw The host in this body of work?

Sex has been demonized for centuries. Who is the D-EVIL? I think it’s one of the ways we get, the flesh and the spirit being at war, is confused.Are we putting a name or character to the evil we would like to see or believe is always 'out there'? Is the devil a scapegoat for trauma? Is this why is the saying, 'the devil made me do it' is so popular? Do we use the devil as a way of not really talking about but as a natural result, projecting our own trauma?

Is it true that The road to recovery goes through your childhood? Does real, lasting freedom from our stubborn unwanted behaviors mean we move must go through our childhood trauma? Why can’t we just leave the past in the past? Eddie stops by the podcast once again to talk about his new book Going Deeper, How the Inner Child Impacts your Sexual Addiction.

Was inspired by this quote and another quote I talk about in the episode. Feeling like I am in full ADHD mode but it’s good because I am able to be me and not let my perfectionism try and polish everything up just so... If you Love anyone or anything there will be suffering. Because what you love is worth suffering for. - Richard Rohr Constructive Intentional contribution

Freedom and the rise of nervous excitement around change. Stand for something or fall for anything? Love that line, I used to hold fast to that line. Still do to a degree. The question is how does one define freedom?

Russ is joined by both Seth Taylor and David Taylor author and co-author of feels like redemption and the creative minds and hearts behind My Pilgrimage. We talk about the energy of purpose, giving forward as well as the definition of perfect and the difference between it and perfectionism.

How is our sexual integrity impacting our self-worth? Or at least our perceived self-worth based on the information that was available to us as we’ve grown to adulthood in this life. This expectation and anticipation of rewards is called the "wanting" in neuroscience language. Have you tried entering on to the freeway of healing? Where is the nearest on ramp? Why do people choose to take the off ramp? And what characters might we meet along the way? What can we expect on this yellow brick road Like journey?

S07E09 If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you keep getting what you’ve always got. Most of us have heard that line before. But what about when it comes to our closely held belief structures? Where does the fear come from? Today I am humbled and honored to have Andrew and David Taylor on the Podcast. David is the identical twin brother of Seth Taylor who co-wrote the book Feels Like Redemption and who started the My Pilgrimage.com and Facebook group which I highly recommend. And Andrew Taylor is David‘s son! David and Andrew talk about launching the new My Pilgrimage podcast soon.
