This Sunday on the podcast, I sit down with Megan Von Fricken, LCSW--therapist and coach to discuss the complexities of religious harm recovery. We explore themes of unworthiness and the misguided idea of inherent sinfulness, purity culture and how they fit under the umbrella of patriarchy and organized religion. We also discuss spiritual abuse, the impact of family rejection, and the importance of finding supportive communities when a person decides to leave their religion of origin and begin their deconstruction. We end our conversation reflecting on the future and potential for a more interconnected and compassionate society.
