Luke's teachings are rooted in his own powerful journey of overcoming the challenges of living disconnected from the present moment, trapped in murky waters of porn addiction.  With deep compassion, he unveils the truths he uncovered in his PhD research: porn addiction distorts our perception of healthy relationships, robbing us of the ability to truly connect with our partners on a profound level.
