Published on: 17th May, 2022

WHY MEN STRUGGLE TO LOVE 

DR. EDDIE CAPPARUCCI PT 2

Dr. Eddie Capparucci is a licensed professional counselor and certified coach. He also is certified in the treatment of Problematic Sexual Behaviors and is the creator of the Inner Child Model for the treatment of sexual and pornography addiction. Among his many clients, Dr. Capparucci has worked with professional athletes including NFL and MLB players and television personalities. He serves as the clinical director for the National Decency Coalition, an organization working with state governments to help limit the access of pornography to minors. His ministry is “Abundant Life Counseling” located in Highlands, NC. He is the author of several books, including Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Impacts Your Sexual Addiction;”“Removing Your Shame Label: Learning to Break Free of Shame and Feel God’s Love” and his most recent book, “Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots.” You’ve identified 9 inner child symptoms and core emotional triggers. Can you share some of them with us? Explain the term “Emotional Intimacy” and how that relates to sexual addictions or porn addictions… But if someone is in a committed relationship, marriage, etc., aren’t they emotionally bonded, to use your term from the book, to their partner? Your most recent book, “Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots,” why do you believe this book is so needful at this point in our culture today? The title of your book is, “Why Men Struggle to Love,” so, I guess the question I need to ask is, “Why do men struggle to love?” Is it true that some of this relates back to things that happened in their childhood? Or is that just a popular fallacy? In your book, “Why Men Struggle to Love,” you state your mission is not to “rid men of their destructive behaviors, but instead, to transform their hearts.”  Can you explain how that will help them gain victory over their sexual addictions? With the current internet generation, porn is so accessible as compared to when I was growing up. You used to have to the “five and dime” store and then stand in the aisle and try and look at the girlie magazines without drawing attention.  It’s not like that today. Just about anyone and any age can access things that, just can’t be described, it’s so bad…  How can we avoid all that we are faced with? Can you briefly go over some of the 14 “Blind Spots” men need to overcome in order to emotionally connect to their spouse, significant other, etc., as outlined in your book? What could the consequences be if men fail to connect or emotionally bond with others? Now, this next question can be twisted to mean different things and that is not my intention. But there are many women who dress, let’s just say, seductively, on purpose. I know we are focusing here on men struggling with sexual addictions, but what are your thoughts on someone of the opposite sex that strive to plant those thoughts in the minds of men? Do they have some underlying problems similar to the ones you are sharing about men and their sexual addictions? Dr. Capparucci, this is all so interesting – and so needful – in the culture we are living in today. How can someone order a copy of your book, “Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots?” Is it available on Amazon? If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, to seek your services or a referral to someone near them or maybe possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I’ll put all of this down in the show notes below. Folks, especially you men out there, admit it. You’ve seen yourself in some of the things Dr. Capparucci has been discussing today. I know I’ve seen myself in some of these things. It’s there. It needs to be dealt with. God’s Word is there for you. All deliverance is in and through God’s Word. But, many, many people, especially men, need the extra help to overcome these types of addictions. I urge you, first, order a copy of Dr. Eddie Capparucci’s book “Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots.”  Drop down into the show notes and click the link right there. Do so now, while you are thinking about it. Don’t listen to the devil telling you to wait until later. You know as well as I do that you’ll end up doing nothing at all. Act now!  God has brought Dr. Capparucci onto this program today, to speak to you right now. If that’s you – order his book right now. Amen! Next, get in touch with Dr. Capparucci. Ask your questions. If he can’t help you personally, I’m sure there are resources and information that is available for you on his website. But don’t settle for the lies of the devil that you are “ok.” If ANY of this has resonated in your spirit man today, take action. Allow those whom the Lord has provided to help you to become an overcomer to help you.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
