In this episode of the Wet Dreamz Podcast, we talk openly about what dads really go through during pregnancy and those early months of fatherhood. We shared our personal stories, highlighting the excitement, anxiety, and even feelings of being left out that often come with the territory.

We discussed how easy it is for men to ignore their own emotions while focusing on providing for their family—something that can lead to isolation or unhealthy coping if left unchecked. Both of us emphasized the importance of communicating, not only with your partner but also with other dads who’ve been there, and having a plan to take care of your own mental health.

Ultimately, we encouraged expectant fathers to stay engaged, reach out for support, and not to bottle up what they’re feeling during this huge transition. If you have questions or want to share your own experiences, we’d love to hear from you!

In Episode 23 of the Wet Dreamz Podcast we continue our series on addressing problematic sexual behaviors and pornography recovery with STEP 2 of our model. This episode focuses on exploring sexual history as a crucial step in treatment. We discuss the importance of understanding a person's sexual past, including porn use, sexual experiences, and relationships, to identify patterns and themes. Dr. Hinman emphasizes the value of asking clients about their first sexual experiences and how those experiences have shaped their behavior.

We stress the significance of using this information to develop healthy coping skills and move towards a healthier future. We also underlines the importance of being supported by a therapist throughout this reflective process, to manage potential feelings of shame and overwhelm. The episode aims to provide guidance and structure for individuals seeking to improve their relationship with their sexual behaviors.
