## Resource

My podcast guest is Dr. Kervins Clement and his story is one that I hear about all the time- where a dependency on porn use and masturbation is justified as helping the relationship when, in fact, it often does the opposite.  In this episode we explore: How Kervins’ own recovery shaped the way he now works with men and couples. What his research revealed about the role of culture and history in treating Black men with sex addiction. Why guilt and remorse don’t reliably stop lying and secrecy in addiction. What partners actually need after betrayal and where their focus often goes too soon. This is a thoughtful, nuanced conversation that isn’t just about sex addiction- it’s about honesty, courage and what healing truly requires.
