Some good but some VERY bad

“Listened to a number of episodes so as to not throw the baby out with the bath water. There are some points that are useful and help to normalize the experience but there are some fundamental issues with their philosophy that I find Incredibly problematic. Even a broken clock is right twice a day but with an issue as difficult and traumatic as infidelity, I wouldn’t recommend it.
The biggest, and they admit this is “going to step on some toes” is that they suggest the betrayed look at “what vulnerabilities they created in the marriage”. This is 100% blameshifting and toxic. No one creates vulnerabilities in their partner. We create our own vulnerabilities and it is our own responsibility to share those with our partners. We can look at how we contribute to a dynamic that makes it difficult for our partners to feel safe with us but another’s failure to recognize their own internal process is their responsibility alone. Brad provides an example of a woman who cheated because her husband betrayed her confidence which in turn made her feel like she couldn't trust him. The husband did not create that vulnerability! He certainly hurt his wife and needs to take ownership of that (as we all should take ownership of our transgressions and how they affect people) but the husband is not responsible for her actions in response to the hurt. I cannot ever recommend any healing resources that even hint at suggesting this to a betrayed.
They also talk a lot about betrayal being traumatic then completely discount the effects of trauma in their discussion of challenging automatic thoughts. This is a common CBT technique but can be retraumatizing when used in this situation. I’d encourage them to really dive deep into the trauma literature to understand how trauma is processed differently than regular memories because they miss the mark time and time again and as they say a bad therapist can be worse than no therapy at all.
This is also supposed to be a team effort but most episodes are Brad talking the overwhelming majority of the time and Morgan asking follow up/clarifying questions every now and again. His mansplaining is tiring.”Read full review »
