Navigating LDS Faith Transitions with Sam Dalton, LCSW

Therapy for Women

The hosts speak with Sam, who is one of our out-of-state therapists about her experience being raised in the Mormon church and her faith transition process. Sam shares what personally led to her faith transition and that she is still in the process of it and discusses what parts of her faith she has kept, versus what she has walked away from.

She shares about what is was liking growing up in the church, her culture shock when she moved to Utah, what it is like being a single woman in her 30s and the sexism, racism and homophobia that exists in the church. She discusses how she works with clients in navigating faith transitions and tips and resources for how listeners who relate to her story can take care of themselves through this difficult process.
