I hate myself, I don't know how to fix it and all that time now, looking back, I know heavenly father was just sitting there saying: just trust me, just let me in, let me help, because you can still, you are a beautiful child of mine and I can do so much good with you and this thing that you're struggling with, because it is part of your human experience.
Ever felt torn between who you are and what you believe? In this episode of 'Recovering You', Chauncy Brinton, a psychologist in the US Army and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, shares his deeply personal journey. Growing up with same-sex attraction while being part of a faith community that didn't fully understand him, Chauncy faced a whirlwind of emotions and challenges.
He talks candidly about his life, from grappling with confusing feelings as a young man to serving a mission, getting married, and eventually going through a divorce. Despite these struggles, Chauncy's primary identity remains as a Son of God. His story is not just about the difficulties but also about finding peace and purpose through therapy, self-reflection, and acceptance.
Chauncy also touches on the role of church and family cultures in shaping one's understanding of sexuality and offers advice for church leaders on how to support those dealing with similar issues. Whether you're dealing with similar challenges or simply looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and faith, this episode promises to be both enlightening and uplifting.
