Summary
This week on the Grounded Union Podcast , Brandon and Caitlyn unpack the real reason sexual addiction makes men insecure — and it's not what you'd expect. Brandon breaks down why blaming others for your addiction shrinks your sense of control over your entire life, and explains the energetic loop that masturbation and porn can never close, no matter how good it feels in the moment.
