Recently, I was honored to be a guest on The Unburdened Podcast where I spoke about religious and spiritual trauma. I talked to Carey Milne and Trevor Little about navigating the aftermath of high-control group influence, underscoring the challenges of finding autonomy and the human need for belonging. If you or someone you know is currently in, or has come out of a high control group, maybe this episode is for you. Maybe this podcast in general is for you. Perhaps you’ve never considered that you could have autonomy – that your thoughts, emotions, body sensations… maybe they are valid and that they actually do mean something or say something important? Maybe those very human elements of yourself weren’t meant to be ignored, but were actually meant to help keep you safe. Take a listen, and decide for yourself. In the meantime, may you have the courage to honor the inner knowing that lives within you, and that was divinely given.
