Effects of Porn Addiction on Teens: Breaking the Cycle of Shame and Isolation in Teens


Listen Later

Please remember that this podcast is not a replacement for therapy. Please always seek a mental health professional for your specific situation.

When a teenager views pornography, it can create a cycle of shame and isolation, exacerbating mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Teens may turn to pornography due to feelings of loneliness or trauma, and this behavior can further isolate them, making them feel unworthy and disconnected from family and friends.

Join Tiffany Herlin, LCSW, and Meredith Barney, the Clinical Director of Oxbow Academy as they discuss:

  • Understanding the impact of pornography on teenage mental health.
  • Recognizing the signs that your teen may struggle with pornography.
  • Learning how to help teens overcome shame and isolation through building relationships and having honest, open communication.
