Brent Bradley holds a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy, an MA in Christian Theology, and a BA in English Literature. He earned tenure as a university professor and has been seeing couples in therapy for almost thirty years. But before he went to graduate school, he dabbled in newspaper reporting, at the time thinking that would be his career.

Dr. Bradley has written numerous journal articles, book chapters, and co-authored books on emotion and change in psychotherapy. A significant difference he brings to his writing is a keen focus and understanding of how emotion powerfully moves us in the moment.

Brent is married with one twin daughter (and one that passed away in the womb). They live in Houston. He is an avid fan of the Astros, Texas A&M, Texans, and the UFC. His hobbies include working out (urgh!), freshwater fishing, reading, cooking, and enjoying good coffee.
