I was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That was the framework that I was given of God. I was raised in an amazing family, blessed with parents and siblings who love me. I had never planned on becoming a therapist. One thing after another happened and I found myself sitting in the therapy chair. I can thank my beautiful wife for supporting me to stay the course and get licensed as a therapist. Also, God gave me several affirmations that I needed to pursue a career as a therapist. After Graduation I specialized in treating sex addiction and betrayal trauma. While specializing in this I saw a lot of suffering from individuals and couples. Some healed and many continued to struggle. I was young and naive and doing the best that I could. I was taught techniques of force and control to try to help people to stop their unwanted behaviors. The answer to “Healing from Sex addiction” was rejecting their sexuality and worshiping a transactional God. Many of my clients and me personally were worshiping a God of conditional love. One of the main conditions was to stuff and hide our sexual selves. I knew something was wrong with this. I knew that I couldn’t be a part of a system that created more suffering and shame.
