A "porn addiction" therapist has been reprimanded by the state for discussing a patient — without his permission — with his LDS Church leaders and Brigham Young University.
All of the claims made by Jodi Nan Hildebrandt were false, the man asserts, but they led to his loss of privileges in the church and his ejection from BYU.
In an interview, John Doe said the couple had been referred to LifeStar for marriage counseling by their LDS bishop, whose brother co-founded the Murray-based national LifeStar Network. It licenses others to use its counseling materials.
Olson said LifeStar is on the LDS Church’s authorized referral list for sex addiction therapy. The church has recently emphasized the dangers of pornography. Hildebrandt was listed as a speaker, addressing pornography, at the 2010 BYU Women’s Conference

How long do you think it will be before the Church requires members suffering from "porn addiction" to undergo electroshock and vomit aversion therapy?

Silly Church. You'd think they'd know that "porn addiction" can only be cured with an aggressive combination of phrenology and snake oil.

This has as much scam artist written on it as confidentiality breaking. Blackmailing a client into more therapy with threats of exposure has to be a scam. Good thing this type of fraud is not rampant in Utah County.
