It's liberating to think clearly about who we are as part of this vast network of life and in our origin and different parts of our brain, the fact that our brains right now are basically the same as co-magnon man wandering the plains of Africa and that some of our knee-jerk reactions are ancient, and to understand some of that, so that we can take those things into account, take responsibility for that and then also take a breath and use our cerebral cortex to think about things and make decisions about whether or not we're really in danger or not.
Religion can be a source of comfort for many, but what happens when it becomes harmful? In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', Kenneth Anderson sits down with Dr. Marlene Winell, the author of 'Leaving the Fold', to tackle the complex issue of religious trauma syndrome. Dr.
Winell sheds light on how deeply ingrained beliefs can lead to emotional and psychological distress, and she offers practical advice on cognitive restructuring as a way to rebuild self-trust and find peace. They also discuss the subtle yet damaging effects of hymns and 'stinking thinking', and why it's crucial to educate ourselves about different religions to foster a more inclusive mindset.
Whether you're grappling with your own religious trauma or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps towards healing. Tune in for a conversation that’s both eye-opening and empowering.
