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.

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.
