NICE TO MEET YOU

Hi, I'm Karl: The scientific editor of Leap of Courage and former porn addict 

"I am a former professor, with 70 peer-reviewed publications. I was also a porn addict. It started innocently enough, with occasional internet sessions, but after 15 years, it had escalated to criminal behavior. I filmed a woman in the shower without her knowledge. I am so horrified by this, and deeply sorry for all the people I hurt, including this brave young woman who had the courage to press charges. That put an end to my 23-year marriage, my career, and my home. I was even homeless for a short time, until a friend recommended that I use my writing skills to work as an editor. That's how I came to work at "Leap of Courage". I thought of myself as a decent person, with strong self-control. I cared deeply about people, including all those that I hurt.

Leap of Courage can help. In helping others, I hope to help myself regain some of the self-respect that I lost. I add my critical scientific insights to the program to the expert team already in place. Although I don't deny the power of some people's connection to the spiritual, I prefer evidence-based treatment. This program offers both."

Note: Leap of Courage does not promote any religious group, but it does teach about what the neuroscience data says about spirituality, for anyone who might be interested in that as an optional part of your healing journey. The scientific data does suggests that spirituality, in any form, will help you overcome any adversity compared to someone who has zero spiritual beliefs (even outside of religious confines)
