Episode 30: The Hidden Emotional Traps in Your Teen's Porn Addiction (Shame vs Apathy) – How To Help

Supporting your teen through pornography addiction is tough—especially when they're trapped in crushing shame or dangerous apathy. In this video, psychotherapist Matt Bulkley breaks down the emotional continuum of shame, apathy, and healthy guilt, and shows you exactly how to guide your teen toward real recovery.
You'll learn:
• Why intense shame leads to isolation and more relapses
• How apathy quietly destroys motivation and keeps the addiction alive
• The power of "constructive guilt" as the healthy motivator for lasting change
• Practical, step-by-step strategies every parent can use right away
• How to create open communication, set loving boundaries, and celebrate progress

If you're a parent feeling helpless watching your teen struggle, this video gives you hope and actionable tools to make a difference.
