On this episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, Trent is joined by therapist, Chris Collins, to get a better understanding of our arousal template.

Chris, who has extensive experience in psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relationship counseling, works collaboratively with his clients to foster self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and promote emotional well-being. Together, Trent and Chris discuss:

• Chris’s journey to sobriety and how it informs the work he does,
• What our arousal template is, what influences it and how,
• The relationship between our attachment style and our arousal template,
• How pornography and trauma can impact our arousal template, as well as
• How our arousal template can impact our ability to get aroused.
