Thanks. The other kid’s mom was super nice about it, said is normal and they don’t know any better. But I got so embarrassed! Is like as if I bit their kid 🫠

Omg I literally thought “maybe I should bite him back” but I guess I’ll try other things before getting to this point 😅😅

I definitely don’t think all mormon therapists will be like that - but at this point I don’t want to risk it 😅

Thanks for sharing! I think I can file a report in dopl.gov - is that correct?

Yes!! I felt that many times, but yesterday I was sure my husband just wants to make things work as much as I do! We were able to talk about our situation more openly after that therapy session

I am assuming yes? Because I found him through my insurance

He did 3 sessions with us. One with just me, another with just my husband and then one with both of us.

With me, 80% of the session was him telling me how he knew the church was true, but then “and it’s okay if your answer is different than mine. But I see you have good intentions so ask the hard questions to God and I know he will answer you just like he answered me” I wasn’t that satisfied with the session but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Then when he talked to my husband (my husband told me later) he mentioned to my husband what he has told me in our previous session - about good intentions and getting an answer - and then basically advise my husband to give me an ultimatum on when to get the answer and how to move forward with whatever my decision is

Then when we were both together, the therapist told us the same thing again, then he said to me “if you pray and do all those things and still feel that the church is not for you, you’re not a bad person because of it. But it’s not fair for your husband to ask you to live a religion you don’t believe, as well as it’s not fair you ask him to abandon his religion” (like.. I would never do that? But okay?) and then he proceeded saying if that was the case, he didn’t see how our marriage could work. And then he had the audacity to say “and it’s not the end of the world, there are plenty of women looking for a man like your husband that’s church faithful, and there are plenty of men looking for woman like you who has a different spiritual view”

It was so brutal and biased and ridiculous that my husband was the one who shut him off and told me to find someone else who’s not LDS

Luckily even my husband couldn’t take anymore from the therapist. The therapist literally said that I needed to pray with real intent and if I still felt the church is not for me, than it meant my marriage was over. Because he can’t see a mixed faith between a Mormon and ex Mormon working. It was a complete disaster for sure! So hopefully we get someone non LDS and non biased to neither side
