When does porn use become a problem?

Porn misuse is rising, with therapists reporting a significant increase in clients seeking help. Kimberley is joined by psychoanalytic and forensic psychotherapist, Dr. Stuart Stevenson. Together, they explore when pornography use becomes problematic, how its content can become normalised and can impact relationship expectations, and what we can do to find a route towards a healthier mindset. Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, is on a mission to sift through all the information and misinformation that’s out there around our mental health. She invites expert guests - trained psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists - to help her share insight and some valuable tips. You can get in touch with the show.
