On the Walking With the Savior podcast, host John Merrill Kirkman interviews LDS Therapist and Mental Health Educator Nikki Olsen (LDS Mental Health Co.) about mental health and discipleship, addressing why believers can still experience anxiety, depression, addiction, and be overwhelmed despite sincere spiritual habits. Nikki explains how mental health skills can help clear mental “clutter” to better hear the still, small voice, and reframes opposition as part of the Plan of Salvation. An opportunity to rely on the Savior rather than eliminate all problems. They discuss avoiding checklist or perfectionist spirituality, distinguishing Spirit promptings from anxiety’s loud urgency, and integrating therapy, medical help, and faith. Nikki shares common misconceptions (e.g., therapy means not trusting God, overwhelm means doing something wrong, God expects perfection) and resources including her podcast, journal, and tools on her website.
