#510: How Can I Know My True Identity And Worth When I Continue To Relapse?
Therapy Brothers Hosted by Tyler Patrick, LMFT and Brannon Patrick, LCSW
In episode #510 of the Therapy Brothers, hosts Brannon Patrick and Tyler Patrick are joined by guest Joshua Otani, LMFT, to explore the vulnerable question: “How can I know my true identity and worth when I continue to relapse?” Drawing from both clinical experience and personal insight, Joshua discusses how relapse can distort identity through shame and self-condemnation, and how true worth must be rooted in something deeper than performance or perfection. Together, they reframe relapse as meaningful data in the recovery process rather than proof of failure, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion, accountability, values-based living, and healing within supportive relationships. The episode offers hope-filled guidance for individuals navigating addiction and betrayal trauma, reminding listeners that their inherent worth remains intact—even in the midst of struggle.
