When we are open about and vulnerable about those deeper parts of ourselves, not only does it increase the strength of a relationship, but … it helps people realize they are not alone.

Dating while struggling with pornography sometimes feels like a complete no go. But Brandon Fielding thinks that if you feel ready, you should go for it! Creed and Crishelle talk with him about how to get prepared to date if you aren’t quite there yet and how to approach the topic when you are in a relationship.
In this episode:
- Everyone has their baggage. You can’t wait to date until you are perfect.
- Choose to talk about what you struggle with when you feel comfortable with your emotional intimacy level.
- Shame tells us we are alone. By opening up, you can realize those lies aren’t true.
Brandon Fielding is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Utah and Washington, and specializes in abuse, trauma, and sexual issues. He is pursuing a PhD in Public Policy and Affairs from Portland State University, and intends to address policy issues in relation to trauma and sexual topics while continuing his private practice.
