In the second segment of our converstion with Dr. Melton, paints another scene as to why she has left.  These stories about former members leaving are more complicated than current church members realize.  These stories are multi-faceted, complicated and simply human at their core.  Dr. Melton discusses how there is not garauntee of belongingness even if you are in the same church as everyone else.  Although Dr. Melton found a sense of belonging, that did not last long.  Dr. Melton began graduate school as a member of the church, however, members of the church leadership questioned the practice of psychology.  Clearly, this did not sit with the future Dr. Melton.   As Dr. Melton processes all of these things, she begins to leave the church.  After leaving, she discusses the process of supression and repression up on her leaving the church.   Dr. Melton had a vision for her life, that the church no longer fit.  Dr. Melton also speaks about the effect that her affilication with this organization had on the relationship with her family and friends.  Dr. Melton is a practicing clinical psychologist.  She is a founder of Melton Psychology Group, LLC where their mission is to creat a healing space for you to transform your life and reclaim your purpose.  https://meltonpsych.com/about/drmelton/https://www.instagram.com/melton_psych/Support the showStay updated on Aldo's current and future projects by signing up for his NewsletterOther Podcasts by Aldo B.
