Series Title: Valerie’s 2023 Sunstone Symposium Address [Part II of II]

In this episode Valerie shares the second half of one of her  2023 Sunstone Symposium  addresses focused on her findings following hundreds of intense hours working with members of the LDS church in faith and trust crisis this past year.  

These observations might be of particular interest as they come exactly 10 years following the creation of an exhaustive report (linked in full below) created for (then) President Dieter F. Uchtdorf as a way to help LDS general authorities better understand the nature of the suffering of so many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in faith and trust crises.  

Valerie’s analysis in today’s episode covers the following (among other things):

• The typical internal traumatic experience of individuals in early LDS faith and trust crisis.
• The relational/interpersonal struggles of those in LDS faith and trust crisis. 
• The psychological interventions that Valerie uses to help people heal from the trauma of faith and trust crisis. 
• How people look and feel as they heal from this experience both in relationship to themselves, others, and the LDS church.

Please feel welcome to join one of Valerie’s space-limited Faith Crisis and Expansion support and processing groups.  As a trauma therapist she continues to help our LDS faith expansion community become psychologically healthier and spiritually well in and around the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Enroll at latterdaystruggles.com.
