The Brothers Discuss: an interesting question about narcissism and how ADHD or ADD is always diagnosed, especially in school. A common theme is a diagnosis, even from loved ones, that one with an addiction is narcissistic. Great clarity can come to someone who is hurting when you can get answers to why your loved one is acting in a certain way. There is a power that comes to us when we can name something. On the other hand, an addiction can look like narcissism and can make the person feel more hopeless if diagnosed with narcissism. The brothers discuss how addiction and narcissism may look alike, and how to tell the difference.

The Brothers Discuss: how women experience shame through a web of mixed messages. Men experience shame through the pressure to be a strong provider and women experience it through messages about their value based on their physical appearance. To escape shame, we must learn to be congruent with who we already are and who God has made us to be, instead of trying to live up to expectations from the culture. We must teach our kids the importance of taking care of themselves and their bodies, instead of focusing on weight.

"Face your fear and shame in order to do what is right and you're showing up in alignment even though the world around you is falling apart as a result."

Our Guest, Dr. Wyatt Fisher is a licensed psychologist and Ph.D. in Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Wyatt shared his six steps for couples to consider when experiencing betrayal in their relationship.

He suggested exposing the affair if the wayward partner refused to cooperate, and getting a separation if they still refused to take action. Dr. Wyatt emphasized the importance of having a willing heart and sincerely expressing remorse to restore the marriage. In the end, the wayward partner must choose between their affair person or their family.
