The Natasha Helfer Podcast


Oct 6, 2024

Natasha is joined by Rachel Larsen on this episode of the Natasha Helfer Rachel Larsen interviews Natasha Helfer about the types of issues couples come into therapy in regards to distress about porn use. They also discuss an upcoming support/educational group.

Pornography Dilemma Online Group with Natasha

This group has been developed to help couples overcome the common struggles with pornography use within the marital contract.

During this group, we will:

  • Begin to deal with and repair the typical secrecy/betrayal cycles that have historically occurred in the relationship with sexual media.
  • Understand evidence-based information about sexual media allowing well-informed decisions to be made based on science and our values instead of myths and folklore.
  • Help couples understand the importance of balancing the need for individual autonomy and relational connection that can often feel contraindicated.
  • Learn to move from “ownership” models of sexuality to “partnership” models of sexuality.
  • Guide couples through agreement work based on principles of sexual and marital health (honesty, shared values, transparency, and differentiation).
  • Begin repairing trust and building a relationship where relational, erotic sexuality can flourish if that’s what both partners want moving forward.
