105. Who Hurts, Who Heals, Who Tells Your Story (ft. Naomi Norton)
from The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered · host Colin Connor
Spiritual abuse can be incredibly difficult to name, especially when you’ve lived inside an abusive system. Many people don’t even realize the whole of what they’ve experienced until long after the damage is done. This week, we start to change that! Licensed therapist Naomi Norton joins us to talk about adverse religious experiences, religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and how these dynamics affect our bodies, identities, relationships, and nervous systems. With clarity and compassion, Naomi helps put language to experiences that often feel confusing, shame-filled, and isolating.We explore what healing can actually look like after leaving high-control religious environments, including rebuilding trust in yourself, your story, and even your sense of God. Be sure to follow Naomi on social media! Her Linktree includes her social handles and the White American Fundamentalist Evangelical Cultural Power and Control Wheel we discuss in the episode.Website: TheBibleUncut.com (show notes available in the blog section)Donate: TheBibleUncut.com/support-usDiscord: TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredEmail: [email protected]: TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredInstagram: @TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredTikTok: @BibleUncutandUnfilteredYouTube: @TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredEditor: Janna Connor
