Episode 262. The Cycle That Keeps You Stuck with Braeden Jensen
Oct 05, 2026
Have you ever promised yourself you would stop scrolling, stop avoiding, stop numbing, or finally get control of a behavior, only to find yourself doing it again?
You may assume the problem is willpower.
But what if the behavior is only one part of a much bigger cycle?
This week Braeden Jensen, LDS therapist and our new monthly youth and young adult host, walks through the cycle that keeps so many of us stuck: pain, escape, shame, repeat.
Braeden also explores how Satan uses shame to turn a choice into an identity, why Adam and Eve hid after partaking of the fruit, and what God’s response teaches us about questioning the messages we have accepted about ourselves.
You are not stuck because you are weak. There may be pain underneath the behavior that needs care, not punishment.
