Hurts, hang-ups, and habits
What is a hurt, hang-up, or habit?
Life is hard. Sometimes, something happens in life that hurts us so deeply that it affects how we relate to God and others. This can lead to hang-ups that keep us from trusting others, and these hang-ups can even keep us from joy. Oftentimes, we use destructive habits to cover up these hang-ups, which then leads to further hurt to ourselves and others. Learn to break the cycle!

Anger
Anger is one of our 10 basic God-given emotions and there are constructive ways to deal with and express anger. For many of us, anger is the primary way we choose to express emotions.

Food and Body Image Issues
An unhealthy relationship with food and/or our bodies begins and continues for many different reasons. Food may be used as a coping mechanism to ease negative feelings, emotions, and circumstances, to have control in one area of our chaotic life, or to change our body to fit an imagined standard that will bring fulfillment, peace, and acceptance.

Sexual Addiction for Men
Our lust often begins as an overpowering desire for pleasurable relief. We may be running from an inner pain, loneliness, emptiness, or an insecurity, and find that sex is the best way to cope. It can momentarily relieve depression, resolve conflict, and even provide the means to escape from or deal with life’s seemingly unbearable situations.

Sexual Addiction for Women
We rationalized our sexual behaviors. As we lived a double life, we became disconnected from reality making true intimacy with another impossible.
We carried this behavior from relationship to relationship and even into our marriages.
