Parents, friends, and faith leaders are often the first to be approached for help and support by those who are suffering from the effects of pornography or sexual addiction. Thus, these support people are uniquely positioned to make a dramatic impact in the lives of individuals who are struggling with addiction or betrayal trauma. Addiction and trauma thrive where there is shame, secrecy, and ignorance.
Once we gain knowledge about the spiritual, physical, emotional and social destruction caused by pornography use or other illicit sexual behaviors, we will be better equipped to lead and instruct effectively.
