Summary

Five years years ago, upon completing my Psychology Ph.D., I began holding retreats and workshops to support Mormons in faith crisis, and specifically to help reduce anxiety, depression, suicidality, family strife, and unnecessary divorce for those experiencing a Mormon Faith Crisis. For many of these workshops and retreats, I was fortunate to co-present with Natasha Helfer Parker and Margi Dehlin.

In August of 2019 we decided to hold a weekend retreat and record the entire experience ,including the attendee participation. This is that retreat, which was held from 8/30 to 9/1/2019 in Salt Lake City, Utah. 40 audience members participated. The following topics were addressed:

Understanding and Navigating a Religious Transition
Fundamentals of Mental Health in a Religious Transition
The Key to Healthy Relationships: Emotional Intimacy
Healthy Sexuality After a Faith Transition
Conscious Parenting
Communicating with Believing Family and Friends

We hope you enjoy this content. It is the best insight we can share to help you navigate your religious transition.

Finally, a HUGE thanks goes to Clint and Jeni Martin for underwriting this event.

0:00.0	We could spend a whole weekend on this topic of communicating with the believing family

0:37.4	So we've just decided we're going to just throw a couple ideas at you, but we're going
0:42.2	to return to this topic and give it its full justice as well.
0:45.8	I don't want to go out and have them all.
0:47.6	And I want to have a, what we really like is a conclusion where you guys each have at
0:51.4	least a minute to share something you value it or something you're going to, something
0:56.3	an aha moment you had or something you're going to do differently.
0:59.2	The best part.
1:00.3	And that's really important.
1:03.5	So I'll just, I'm going to just try and do like five or seven minutes.
1:07.9	You can jump in and then we're going to just, we're just acknowledging we're going
1:12.3	to not do this topic justice.
1:14.0	Is that okay?
1:15.2	So the, the best thing that I can start with about navigating a, your relationships of
1:26.6	believing family and friends is a slide that isn't there.
