Series Title: Exploring Family Challenges when LDS Young Adults Disaffiliate [Part IV of IV]

In this final episode in this mind-blowing four-part series tackling struggles between some parents and their disaffiliating LDS young adults, Valerie and guest therapist Liz Macdonald explore psychologist Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development—and use this theory of development to better understand what is going on between more traditionally believing LDS parents and their disaffiliating young adult children. 

This theory of development can shine a light on why some parents struggle so much in allowing their adolescent and young adults children the autonomy to grow into their own truths. 

This theory also can help us better understand the impact that parental underdevelopment might have on adolescents and young adults in completing successfully their own developmental life tasks. 

This series is intended to offer love and empathy for all: both the more traditionally believing LDS parents and their disaffiliated young adult children, shining a light on the extreme complexity of this situation and hoping to offer insights that will help families in our community heal. Please share this series with those who might benefit from this enlightening and healing discussion!
