Smiling man after Porn Addiction Recovery

“I have known Shawn for many years and can confidently speak to his deep commitment to helping men break free from pornography. His extensive knowledge and passion for Inner Child work enable him to address the underlying emotional roots of addiction rather than just the behavior. This depth of work helps men not only achieve sobriety, but sustain it. I strongly recommend speaking with Shawn if you are ready to begin the journey of meaningful recovery”

Eddie Capparucci, Ph.D., LPC, CSAS
License Professional Counselor, Author of Going Deeper

“Shawn Bonneteau is extremely kind, thoughtful, and skilled at sitting with people no matter what their sexual stories are. He has traveled the road to healing and freedom individually, as a husband, and as a ministry leader. I trust him deeply and recommend him as a professional coach.”

Areas of Focus

My work focuses on the deeper patterns that drive unwanted sexual behaviors and undermine integrity over time. Rather than surface-level accountability, the approach centers on emotional maturity and lasting internal formation.

This work forms men who don’t rely on willpower alone, but learn to depend on Christ while responding with maturity, clarity, and responsibility in high-pressure moments.

Key areas include:

 

Compulsive Sexual Behaviors & Pornography Recovery

Addressing pornography use and related compulsive patterns through a framework that prioritizes emotional regulation, responsibility, and long-term freedom rather than shame-based control.

Emotional Regulation Under Pressure

Helping individuals remain steady, present, and maintain the right direction in moments of stress, fatigue, or temptation.

Leadership and Responsibility

Supporting the growth of internal leadership learning to respond wisely rather than reactively, especially when emotions or impulses run high.

Integrity, Formation, and Character

Focusing on the kind of inner formation that sustains faithfulness, trust, and consistency in both personal life and leadership roles.

How this work is Applied

This work integrates into coaching practices, ministry environments, and organizational settings where long-term formation matters. It provides a grounded framework for addressing compulsive behaviors while supporting emotional maturity, spiritual integrity, and personal responsibility.

The approach adapts for individual coaching, group training, workshops, and keynote speaking always with respect for existing leadership and pastoral structures.

The goal is not independence, but mature dependence on Christ forming men who can remain steady, obedient, and clear minded when pressure rises.

Coaching practices

Help individuals address compulsive sexual behaviours at the root. Focusing on emotional regulation, self-leadership, and long-term change rather than behaviour management alone

Organization & Ministries

Delivered as workshops or trainings for organizations, ministries, or teams addressing integrity, emotional maturity, and sustainable behaviour change in high pressure enviroments.

Conferences & Events

Engaging, grounded keynotes addressing pornography recovery, compulsive behaviours, and internal leadership equipping men and leaders with practical skills and a Christ-centered framework for lasting integrity.

Professional teams

Consulting and collaboration with coaching practices or organizations seeking depth oriented recovery approaches. Teaching the skill of navigating high stress pressure and accountability

Real Stories from Coaches, Pastors, and Experts I've Helped 

 

 

 

These stories reflect the kind of clarity, safety, and integrity leaders experience when shame is removed and formation is taken seriously.

“Things shifted when I said: Shawn I know we wanted to talk about ministry, but I need help. That took a lot of courage to say, to admit and to confess. As a pastor I felt a lot of hypocrisy… I was worried that the barrier of legalism would be a part of any coaching… But it was so good to find out how healing, supportive and restorative the process with Shawn really was”

Mathew Thomas
Pastor

"There is freedom in understanding why we fall into temptation. Every aspect of my life is stronger because of the help of Shawn Bonneteau"

Joe Dipenta
NHL Cup Champion, Business Owner

"Before coaching with Shawn, I was a basket case with so many sexual hang-ups. Now, after 5 months of 1 on 1 coaching my life has changed!"
