In this Just Therapy episode, I sit down with Dre, a licensed mental health counselor and psychology lecturer, to discuss the hidden struggles of pornography addiction and how it impacts relationships and mental health. Together, we explore the emotional toll this issue can take and share powerful tools for healing and growth.

We talk about how shame and stigma often stand in the way of recovery, and offer actionable tips and insights into behavioral strategies that can help break harmful cycles. Whether you're looking to improve your relationship dynamics, navigate addiction recovery, or better understand the mental health challenges surrounding pornography use, this conversation is filled with compassionate advice and practical steps to help you move forward.
