I would love more things like this! Things you know as an expert to help us figure things out on our end with ourselves and our relationships. 👍

Wow! This is eye opening for sure! Something I'm learning. Acceptance is so much easier that expecting them to be a certain way.

... it amazing how once I embraced recovery it trickled into everything else in my life and I am now better able to deal with situations and moments that would have felt so exhausting or scary a few years ago. ...

So healing for my soul. I was the betrayed and have struggled more than I wanted to. This gives hope for even me who didn't get a chance to work on my marriage. My spouse left without a fight.

No one ever talks about betrayal trauma like you do. ...
For anyone stuck in a loop of porn and shame. Video lessons and worksheets on what drives it, so you can see the pattern and know what to do when it starts.
“I will create a safe space for you to work through your deepest shame and gain consciousness about the systems that are causing you harm.”

He grew up in it himself. He is a therapist, a writer and a podcast host. He says out loud what most people in his office have never heard anyone say.
For Christian men who were taught that sex is the enemy. In plain words, it shows why your sexuality was never the problem, with questions to apply to your own story.

What people say about Brannon
I've learned so much from you, personally and professionally. Thank you for your brilliant work. It is so important.

I just listened to the episode on objectifying that woman-and Oh. My. Goodness. Brannon gave me a total core-shaking smackdown when he talked about the betrayed objectifying others via comparison-that other women don't become daughters of God, but become the embodiments everything the betrayed feels she isn't- 😳 What a wake up call! I am so grateful for your podcasts! They have been more helpful than I can even express. Thank you for being brave!

FAQs
No, and it does not replace it. Brannon is a licensed clinical social worker, but everything here is education: the books, the podcast, the courses and the events. Reading or listening does not make him your therapist. If you are already working with someone, this sits alongside that, not instead of it. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
Yes. Betrayal is not a men's subject, and neither is shame. There is work here for the partner who was betrayed, for the person who broke the trust, and for a couple doing it together. Every course and every book says on its own page who it is for.
Both, and they are treated as different work rather than two halves of one story. Some of the courses are written for the partner who was betrayed and what to do now. Others are for the person carrying compulsive sexual behavior and the shame under it. One is for a couple rebuilding after betrayal.
They are built as a process rather than a list of tips: each course walks through the work step by step, and each book makes the whole case in one place. What none of them can do is tell you how long your own healing takes, or do the work for you. They are education, not therapy, and nobody here will promise you a result.
He does not referee. In his own words: I will create a safe space for you to work through your deepest shame and gain consciousness about the systems that are causing you harm. That is addressed to whoever is reading it. Betrayal is the person who caused it to own, and what your partner does with their own work is theirs.
Yes. Almost all of it is written for one person doing their own work, whichever side of this you are on, and the books and the podcast ask nothing of anybody else. One course, A Couples’ Guide to Deeper Intimacy After Healing From Betrayal, is for a couple doing it together, and it says so on its page.
No. Brannon works with Christians, and he is not here to talk you out of your faith. The target is shame, not belief.
With the course that fits where you are. If you were betrayed, start with Healing After Your Heart's Been Shattered. If you broke someone's trust, start with Helping Your Partner Heal After You Broke Their Trust. If porn is the struggle, start with How to Stop Looking at Porn. Not ready for a course? Listen to the podcast first.
