YouTubeTherapist discusses emotional damage from religious extremism on viral channel
Mike Fuller, a therapist and former Latter-day Saint, discussed the psychological impact of religious extremism in a 63,000-view interview on Soft White Underbelly, a channel known for its portraits of people on society's margins. Fuller, who grew up Mormon, described his departure from the faith and now counsels others navigating religious trauma.
The interview's title references "Prozac, Pornography & Plastic Surgery," topics Fuller addresses in discussing mental health issues common in high-demand religious environments. His testimony covers growing up in the Church, losing belief, and whether Mormonism constitutes a cult — a question he explores from a clinical perspective.
