Description
Series Title: Valerie’s Personal Journey [Part I of II]
Join Val and fellow therapist Brannon Patrick this week as Brannon interviews Valerie about her first year accidentally diving into the deep end as a professional voice speaking respectfully but directly on behalf of thousands of individuals in the LDS faith and trust crisis and expansion space.
In those two episodes Valerie responds to a variety of personal questions including (but not limited to):
- Her own experiences finding herself a in a role speaking at the intersection of good psychology, a call for healthy theology, with a keen understanding of the dynamics of healthy and unhealthy organizations.
- How she has navigated activity in the church.
- Her and Brannon’s experience first deciding to work together and then his deciding to no longer work with her and their touching conclusions about this tough relational period.
- Her experience with the very real possibility of burnout in this highly emotional work.
- Her reasons for committing so much time and nurture to the support and processing group process and the unintended benefits of this experience for her as a facilitator
- Her and Nathan’s journey as a couple, evolving parents, and working together on the podcast
- Val’s thoughts on the possibility of church discipline due to her ministry
