❓ How do I use this workbook?
To get the most out of this resource, follow these simple steps:
- Open the editable Google Doc
(or print it if you prefer pen and paper). - Set aside some quiet time - you can go through it all at once or in smaller chunks.
- Reflect honestly as you go, using the prompts to explore your fears, feelings, and beliefs.
- Listen to the audio for each fear - Cath talks you through what it is and how to move past it.
- Come back to it as needed - this is about progress, not perfection.
❓ What if I don’t know what my fears are?
Totally normal. This workbook is designed to help you figure that out. You’ll be guided through common fears and gently prompted to reflect on what’s coming up for you.
❓ What if I have strong negative feelings about porn?
You’re not alone. This resource helps you explore those feelings - without judgment - so you can make intentional choices about what to say and how to say it.
❓ Can I do this if I’m not comfortable talking about sex either?
Absolutely. This workbook is all about helping you move from discomfort to greater ease - step by step. You don’t have to feel fully comfortable to get started.
❓ What if I’m afraid that talking about porn will make my child more curious?
That’s a really common concern - and it’s one we explore in the workbook.
You’ll unpack where that fear comes from and get support to move through it with care and clarity.
❓ I’m not good at tech. Will it be easy to use?
Yes! It’s a simple PDF file - no logins, passwords or fancy platforms. Just download, open, and start when you’re ready.
