Show Notes
In this powerful episode, licensed therapist Matt Bulkley (25 years helping teens and families heal from pornography addiction) reveals the five most common parenting mistakes he sees every single week that unintentionally fuel compulsive porn use — even in good, loving homes. You’ll discover:
Why “no phones in the bedroom” only works when it’s actually written down and co-created with your teen
The exact 22-second weekly question that cuts daily porn use by 60–70% (backed by 2024 APA research)
Why monitoring apps alone can actually backfire — and the “Milkshake History Review” method that turns filters into real heart change
What to do instead of exploding or grounding for months when you catch them (real story of a dad who went from smashing phones to daily college texts with his son)
The uncomfortable truth about parental hypocrisy — and the one habit Matt puts on his own phone to stay accountable
If you’ve ever felt helpless, embarrassed to talk about it, or terrified your kid is hiding a secret struggle, this episode gives you hope and an actionable game plan — without shame, without draconian rules, and without breaking the relationship that matters most. Thousands of parents have used these exact strategies to help their teens break free. Start with just one tonight.
