Pornography is not just a men’s issue. And supporting someone who is struggling with pornography is not just a girl’s job.
Emi bass
Being a student is hard, especially when feeling alienated because of a struggle with pornography. Or maybe feeling confused about how to help a friend entrenched in this problem. Emi Bass wanted to find a way to help, so she founded the Un-Alone Club at BYU. Students are invited to meet over Zoom, anonymously or not, to find insight, community and relief from issues like pornography use, betrayal trauma, supporting friends struggling, and more. You’ll be inspired by her story and how one person can start something that really matters.
In this episode:
- The opportunity to share stories anonymously allows members to find connection.
- Finding the right resource can change the recovery journey.
- Shame doesn’t have to rule your life. If you can let it go, you can connect.
Emi Bass is a senior at BYU studying Classical Civilization. She’s from Tennessee and rock climbs too much. She’s spent the last year working to follow some inspiration that has resulted in the BYU Un-Alone Club, a group where those working to overcome pornography—and those that support them—can come for shame-free connection and helpful resources.
