In this episode of The Faith Transition Podcast I have a very insightful discussion with Dr. Scott D. Miller.
Dr. Miller is the founder of the International Center for Clinical Excellence, an international consortium of clinicians, researchers, and educators dedicated to promoting excellence in behavioral health services. Dr. Miller conducts workshops and training in the United States and abroad, helping hundreds of agencies and organizations, both public and private, to achieve superior results.
Dr. Miller is the author of numerous psychotherapy books and articles - you can find them all on his website along with lots of resourceful information.
In this episode, we discuss a different type of book he wrote, his LDS Mission memoir titled The Book of A Mormon: The Real Life and Strange Times of an LDS Missionary. In his memoir, hDr. Miller recounts his missionary experience as a 19 year old serving for the Latter-day saints Church. He lost his faith early on while serving in Sweden but decided to make the sacrifice to painfully finish his mission under a controlling mission president with unrealistic expectations to preserve his parents from the shame and judgment they would receive if he went home early.
What I appreciate most about Dr Miller is that he does not deny and has great respect for his Mormon pioneer ancestry, he does not deny the good he beneficiated from growing up in the church, he refuses to be called an ex-Mormon because he fully embraces his Mormon roots but as a scientist through and through he saw at a very young age that there were beliefs in Mormonism that did not make sense and it got worse as he studied the religion more in depth.
We also talk about what led him to become a psychotherapist and much more. I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did!
