Summary
Have you ever found yourself reacting in unhelpful ways to the distress that accompanies a religious faith crisis (or life in general)?
Margi Dehlin has spent two decades supporting and/or coaching Mormons in faith crisis, post-Mormons, and women experiencing significant life transitions.
As part of a new series on Mormon Stories Podcast providing free coaching support to transitioning and post-Mormons, Margi will share her general approach to managing the emotional distress that often accompanies a religious faith crisis. Her framework will be based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which is a cutting-edge form of mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast. I'm your host, Dr. John Dillin. |
| 0:05.8 | It's August 31st, 2021, and we are doing something that I think is really cool and exciting here on Mormon Stories podcast today. |
| 0:15.0 | So let me just give you a tiny bit of background. So a couple of years ago, |
| 0:19.4 | Margie and I in Natasha, |
| 0:21.4 | we're working as either therapist or coaches, trying to support people in the |
| 0:25.9 | post-warmen community, progressive Mormon community, trying to meet all the demand for coaching and therapy. |
| 0:32.1 | And we realized there's just no way we're ever going to meet all of the demand. |
| 0:35.5 | Our caseloads were full. We had huge waiting lists, and we realized it is just not good that so many people need help, |
| 0:42.3 | and we're not able to stretch to meet all the need. And so we decided to just create a podcast called the gift of the Mormon Faith Crisis podcast, |

| 1:19.5 | Things like how to come out to believing family and friends, |
| 1:22.6 | how to communicate with believing family and friends, how to not ruin your relationships, |
| 1:26.7 | how to come out to your kids, your believing kids after faith crisis, |
| 1:30.8 | how to deal with your bishop and your church leadership, |
| 1:33.3 | you know, healthy grieving, how to manage your anger, healthy sexuality, how to improve your marriage, |
| 1:39.0 | so many really important and valuable episodes that you can just access right now in audio or video form, |
| 1:46.2 | and we did that for a while. There were a couple of problems with it. |
