Hey, this is Glenn, and today on Infants on Thrones, I sit down once again with psychotherapist Josh Neal.

I can't put up with being a coward anymore.

To continue a series of reflective discussions about what our ongoing experience

with the Mormon faith crisis has been teaching us about our own mental health,

vulnerability, authenticity, acceptance of reality, and the power that we all have to create emotional well-being

through all of it.

I can't cope with abandoning my own original thoughts anymore.

I am disgusted by it. I'm sick of it. I am

I want to stand by my own fucking original thoughts and own them. They don't have to be right. They don't have to be perfect but they mine, and I'm not going to deny them.

And that's a beautiful human act.

It's accepting your own generative creative process and standing by it and not letting anybody they can have whatever fucking reaction they want but you

don't necessarily abandon your own self anymore and hide it and be ashamed or

anything. I'm saying what I want while I'm afraid of being castigated and kicked out that's where I'm at you know what I'm saying what I'm saying might offend you. What I'm saying might

offend you. What I'm saying might be upsetting. It might not be what you want to

hear. I might let you down. In other words I might be human but I'm sick of being fake I human, but I'm sick of being fake.

I'm sick of being fake.

Now if you find yourself on a similar journey and you're looking for someone to help you along

the way, you can find Josh at Capitol Hill Therapy in Seattle, Washington,
