Why Shouldn’t Johnny Watch Porn if He Likes? Please use this type of information in a loving and shame-reducing way to educate yourselves and your teenagers about the scientific knowledge we have at this point regarding brain sexual development.  Too many times I see this type of information being shared in a fear-inducing, anxious way that only exacerbates the delicate shame-cycle many of our teens and older adults find themselves trapped in.  Education is available to normalize people’s experiences, to... Read more

Listening to these women recite their poetry, I am reminded of the many issues we face as women both nationally and internationally; culturally; religiously; politically; etc.  Not to say that men don’t face these issues as well – many times directly related to those we consider oppressive to women – since one of my core beliefs deals with the concept that any sexism infiltrating our humanity will harm both genders irrevocably.  I’m sure that some of these poems will not... Read more

I have a unique relational issue that only pertains to us as Latter-day Saints.

However, we also believe widows and widowers may remarry upon the death of their spouse. Then we have sealing policies that allow living men to be sealed to more than one woman. Although... Read more

I suggest all parents of adolescents, especially adolescents that seem to be pushing your buttons, pick up a copy of the October 2011 National Geographic and read Beautiful Brains. We do not do ourselves any favors as Mormon parents when we expect our teens to be rule-following, seminary-attending, testimony-having, sexually-repressing individuals that do not doubt, question and or rebel in any shape, form or fashion.  We not only set ourselves up for unrealistic expectations and devastating power struggles, but we... Read more

“Knowing all that I know, I still have to relearn these lessons every time I lose connection with my loved one.  I still have to face that nanosecond of choice: to blame, to try and grab control, to dismiss, to get revenge, to shut down and shut out, or to breath deep and tune in to my own and my loved one’s emotions, to risk, to reach, to confide, to hold.”Dr. Sue JohnsonAuthor of Hold Me Tight Read more
