Episode 39: Why We need To talk About Pornography - Part 1

Therapist Sam Tielemans joins me to discuss why we need to talk about pornography, not only in our relationships but also with our kids. Part one of this conversation includes: information about unhealthy usage of pornography and that it usually isn’t about sex, what the average age of a child’s exposure is to porn (5:21) and how lies and deception break the attachment bond which may possibly cause betrayal trauma (8:25). We share how to navigate the discussion with a partner, as well as offering prompts to get you started (16:20).
