Emily G : Coping with Pornography Addiction

A survivor of sexual abuse and early exposure to pornography, Emily G found herself feeling helpless about how to overcome the effects of this trauma.

Emily is refreshingly honest about her experiences and doesn’t minimize the burden, which makes her story both realistic and encouraging.
