I was recently invited to be a guest on the “Therapy Brothers” podcast. In this thought-provoking episode, Brannon Patrick and I delve into the complex and crucial topic of rebuilding trust in relationships affected by betrayal.

About Brannon Patrick:
Brannon is the co-creator of Therapy Utah, Brannon Patrick has treated almost every kind of addiction in every conceivable setting.
Brannon began his career in an inpatient psychiatric unit and then spent years gaining experience in an intensive outpatient setting. During his many years of clinical work, he received specialized training, including training to become a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist. In addition to his work with Therapy Utah, Brannon Patrick is also a writer, blogger, podcaster, and content creator. He was known for years as The Expert on The Betrayed, The Addicted and The Expert—a podcast he co-hosted with Ashlynn and Coby Mitchell before starting his show "Therapy Brothers" with his brother Tyler.
Brannon’s greatest training has been in real life—he has been married to his wife for over 15 years, and like any relationship, they work hard at it. Learning how to create safety, hold space, allow for their own individuality, and work through conflict has given Brannon invaluable insights that support his work with clients of all kinds. To this day, Brannon believes that his wife, Jenny, has been his greatest teacher—and that his most important role is as a father and husband.
