You found something inappropriate on their phone. It could be pornography, or sexual messages, or something else that crosses the boundaries. What do you do now? What's the right way to have this conversation?

Lisa and mental health counselor Steven Shields from Unashamed Unafraid dive into exactly how to respond to compulsive sexual behavior in your home, especially as a parent. In today's world, most kids will be exposed to pornography by the time they reach 13 years old, and nearly half will consume it on an ongoing basis. Gone are the days where parents can completely prevent or restrict their children's access—it's too pervasive. Fortunately, there are now more resources than ever to help families have healthy conversations that appropriately frame sexuality without shame. Steven offers specific language for loved ones starting the conversation with their significant other or child, as well as strategies to protect emotional and physical safety in the meantime.

Whether the conversation is with a spouse or a child, it's possible to dispel adrenaline and shame ahead of time, so that family dialogues about sexual boundaries foster trust and healing.
