The hidden impact of porn on relationships | Cat Etherington | Couple Goals S2E6

Porn use is often kept secret in relationships.Overwhelmingly - 84% of the time - when porn use is revealed it's discovered by a partner.The disconnection it causes and the feelings of guilt and shame don't make it easy to talk about.The fallout from problematic porn use, secrecy and betrayal can be devastating on relationships. Couple Goals exists to support and uplift couples, even in the hardest moments of challenge. Every week, we have people reach out to us for advice and support on this topic, so we knew it was vital to address.We asked Cat Etherington from Naked Truth Project to join us, to help us understand what the challenges are, and how we can overcome them. As Director of Recovery, she coaches couples and individuals through porn use recovery journeys, by helping them to recognise why they're using porn and how they can work towards healthy, long-term recovery. She helps them to rebuild trust and navigate the trauma and aftermath of the feelings of betrayal that are so common when porn use has been discovered.Even though this is a challenging and often painful topic for many, Cat is bringing a message of hope. Many couples have worked through this and found healing and restoration for their relationship. It's a tough thing for couples to work through, and it will take time, but strength and healthy intimacy is possible on the other side.https://nakedtruthproject.com____________________Couple Goals is back for Season 2 with a whole new slate of guest couples and experts!
