Struggling with unwanted pornography use can feel isolating — but you don't have to figure it out alone. Life After Pornography Coach is a structured, self-directed 10-week program created by Dr. Cameron Staley, a clinical psychologist who has spent years researching why people turn to pornography and how they can move beyond it.^1
Unlike many recovery approaches that frame pornography as an addiction, LAP is built on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — one of the only research-supported methods for reducing unwanted pornography viewing.^2 In a 2016 randomized controlled trial at Utah State University, individuals reduced their unwanted pornography viewing by over 90% after 12 sessions of ACT.^3 The app includes over 80 guided videos, 250+ mindfulness practices, a personal journal, and the "Flight Crew" — a built-in support community where members encourage one another.^4
Dr. Staley holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Idaho State University, has published peer-reviewed research on sexuality and human behavior, and delivered a TEDx talk on changing the narrative around pornography.^5 He frames porn use not as an addiction but as an emotional coping strategy — a clinical distinction that helps users understand the feelings driving their behavior and develop healthier responses. As he told the Salt Lake Tribune in 2025: "Our behaviors are 100% in our control. ... It really does unlock agency and helps people facilitate making better choices that are consistent with their values."^6 The app is developed in partnership with Get Your Marriage On!, a marriage enrichment platform founded by Dan Purcell.^1
Why Christians Love It"Your podcasts and course have been a Godsend for me. I realized how I had been looking at this the wrong way — and that this was an emotional coping mechanism and not a sexual addiction. Literally, almost overnight, everything changed for me."^1
"My son has battled pornography for many many years and we were feeling so hopeless. A family member recommended LAP and we decided to go for it… It has given us new hope for the future."^1
"As someone who has plowed through many 'shovels' in my attempts to thwart pornography, I know full-well how much I appreciate this program. Nobody should have to feel hopeless simply because they don't know where to turn."^1
