I am beyond excited to have the renowned Dr. Laura Anderson (@drlauraeanderson), a therapist, trauma resolution and recovery coach, writer, and educator, to discuss the psychological complexities of a high-control religion. She shares her insights on navigating the challenging journey of DECONSTRUCTION and reclaiming one's AUTHENTICITY.
In this episode:
-
Understanding ADVERSE RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES and their impact beyond trauma
-
The power of CURIOSITY, SELF-COMPASSION & PATIENCE in the questioning process
-
Dr. Laura, on strict religious obedience: "High demand religions typically require individuals to DIVORCE THEMSELVES from their BODIES and move exclusively into their MINDS."
Laura has a Ph.D. from Saybrook University and is a licensed marriage and family therapist. She specializes in complex trauma with a focus on domestic violence, sexualized violence, and religious trauma. Her bestselling book, "When Religion Hurts You: Healing From Religious Trauma and the Impact of High Control Religion," offers a compassionate guide for those on the path of healing and liberation.
