How can I talk with my spouse about my faith transition?: Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

In this episode, I coach Blakelee and address the question "How can I talk with my spouse about my faith transition?" One of the patterns I’ve noticed when couples talk about faith transitions is we often lead with facts instead of feelings which can sometimes lead to our partner feeling defensive or shutting down.

During this episode, I guide Blakelee through how to focus on expressing her feelings about the Church to her husband, and how she can acknowledge the pain he may be feeling when she shares her journey with him.
