Summary

Caller Claire's Question: "My husband and I have been listening to your podcast for a couple of weeks now and appreciate your insight into this difficult subject. We are at the beginning of recovery but find ourselves in the position of having our roles swapped. I, the wife have the sex addiction and my husband is working through the betrayal trauma. My question is whether you have any insight into female sex addiction or any resources that would be helpful for us. I am finding it difficult to find accurate information that I can relate to. It took nearly two years to diagnose my addiction as it was initially presenting in a way that is not traditionally considered "sex" addiction. It recently escalated into more blatant sexual acting out and that's when we were able to more fully understand what was going on with me. I wish there had been more information and understanding early on so we could have addressed it before it escalated."

Brandon, this is going to be a good topic today.

0:34.8

I'm excited that we've got a caller that's willing to come on and talk about this.

0:38.0

We don't often talk about it from this angle or this side of things,

0:41.2

so I'm hoping it'll be really beneficial and helpful for a lot of people who are listening today.

0:45.6

Yeah, it's actually a lot more common than you would think,

0:49.3

but it's not talked about. It's very taboo in many ways.

0:54.8

So to have a caller who's courageous enough to come on, to discuss this, to talk about it,

0:59.6

I think is really exciting.

1:01.3

Well, before we get started, Brandon, I want to kind of call you out on something.

1:05.3

We were in Mexico last week and you ended up going and getting your hair put into braids.

1:14.3

I thought the agreement was because we now have our video on Spotify

1:19.0

that you were going to keep your braids in for an episode.

1:21.2

So why are you looking all like, well, I need you to understand something.

1:25.7

And agreement is between two people, not just one.

1:29.6

Hey, you look like a goofball. So now you're coming on.

1:33.8

And I was like, no, I'm not doing that. I'm good.

1:36.5

No, especially after you took them out, you bought me a problem.

1:38.8

I saw the picture of when you taken them out last night and you looked exactly like Bob Ross.
