Breaking Free From Porn Addiction | Saadiah Klein | Ep. 22

Pornography is one of those things that affects a huge number of people, but too infrequently are its negative impact on individuals and society discussed. In this episode, we get into why it can become so addictive, what it does to motivation, intimacy, relationships and self-worth, and why shame usually makes things worse. More importantly, we talk about what actually helps: support, accountability, better habits, self-respect, and building a life that gives you something greater to move toward. We also discuss the role of parents, educators and community leaders, and what prevention can look like before the problem gets out of control.You can follow Saadiah's journey at:instagram.com/saadiah.foundationshttps://www.y…
