How to Handle Porn Addiction with Kevin White & Polly Fleming

Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More

With over 40 million Americans regularly visiting porn sites, pornography is the "dirty little secret" that's hiding under the hood of more divorces than most people realize.
In this podcast episode, guests Kevin White and Polly Fleming (who are not married to each other!) share their deeply personal experiences with porn addiction and the crippling effects it had on their marriages.
Born from trauma, pornography addiction ultimately destroys true intimacy and makes maintaining a marriage or other deep relationship extremely difficult. It's mired in guilt and shame, as well as societal judgment.
Yet, paradoxically, the only way to heal from porn addiction (and to heal relationships broken by porn addiction) is through self-love, empathy, understanding, and education.
LISTNER'S NOTE: This episode deals with pornography, sex, and relationships. While the conversation is not graphic, listener discretion is still advised.
