5 Step Program
OUR PURPOSE IS TO SUPPORT A PARENT’S REDIRECTION OF THEIR CHILDREN’S SEXUALITY FROM ONLINE PORNOGRAPHY TO A PARENT LED DISCUSSION OF HEALTHY SEXUALITY THAT BEGINS WITH THE PARENT'S VALUES.
Our program is not designed to have you or keep you in “therapy” or set up a long-term professional relationship. While long term therapy could be considered in cases of criminal or psychologically negative behavior, The Third Talk is here to coach parents and their children on health sexuality, including but not limited to the absence of online pornography as sex education.
