Caller Sam's question: I have been in recovery for the past 3.5 years. I am 41 with a wife and 5 kids. I was in a very dark place before finding recovery. One of the things that helped pull me from that dark place was hearing a podcast of someone who had a very similar story to mine and who had the courage to be honest and come forward to make changes in his life. I was serving as EQ President in my ward at that time while acting out regularly. So my question is this: how should I think about sharing my story and my recovery with others? I feel a strong desire to be able to help others who are stuck in addiction and looking for a way out. But I also feel a desire to protect my wife and kids from further pain and trauma. I would be curious to discuss this with you and get your thoughts. Thanks again. Brannon Patrick, "The Expert", is co-founder of Therapy Utah (therapyutah.org).

Caller Adam's Question: "Hey! I'm a recovering SLA and by day I'm a physiotherapist. I was really intrigued when listening to an episode and B got really worked up when he talked about his first mentor in couples therapy. It made me realize that well, of course, there are schools and 'ideologies' in treatment of sexual addiction and betrayal trauma just as there are a lot of ideologies in physical therapy (I'll gladly rant about those) And so I thought, well what are those ideologies and how can I identify if my therapist is following a certain ideology? Now in a post-pandemic world where e-health is rapidly n expanding the availability of specialized therapy is greatly increased and thus the need to understand what might guide the therapist. I'll gladly share my own horrible story about my addiction, denial, and now withdrawal on the show as well as how I found specialized help."
