Today's blog post is a little different than usual. A couple weekends ago, I spoke at a THRIVE event in Ogden, UT. "Thrive beyond religion" frequently organizes events in various states, cities, and countries to help Mormons who are leaving the LDS church, have left the church, or are nuanced in their views about Mormonism. At this year's event in Ogden, UT, I presented on navigating relationships after a faith transition/crisis. Topics I addressed include ways of opening up to others about a faith transition (e.g. how, when, where), understanding the impact of closeness in relationships, boundary setting, and recognizing the things that are in and out of your control. At the end, I also answered a few questions from the audience. Below, is the video:
