I’ve been struggling with compulsive masturbation for the last 6 years. I genuinely don’t want to keep doing it, but I keep failing. I don’t want to waste more years like this. I go to a government hospital for mental health help. There are intern psychologists there, and most of them are young females. I’ve been thinking about asking one of them to explain my situation to my parents (they are 65+), and maybe help them understand so they can support me. But I’m unsure: Is it okay to ask an intern to do this? Would female interns feel uncomfortable discussing this topic with my elderly parents? Do interns even do this kind of family explanation/support? So if I do it my parents can shout on me I’m just trying to take a serious step and involve my parents so I can finally deal with this properly. Looking for honest opinions or experiences.
