Depressive Religion: It's Connection to Patriarchy and How It Is Still Used to Control & Harm Women Today

from Create Love Create Freedom

“Depressive religion” is an archetype of religion that is fear-based, shame-inducing, and deeply repressive. This form of religion is especially harmful to women when it becomes entangled with patriarchal power structures. In this episode, we discuss what depressive religion is, how it is connected to patriarchy and the witch hunts, and how it continues to control and harm women today. We also examine depressive religion as learned helplessness and how it represses instincts - especially the feminine instinctual nature, and how other forms of spirituality create liberation, but depressive religion creates dependency and co-dependency. Welcome to Create Love Freedom — A living temple for women reclaiming their feminine essence, healing old wounds, and rising sovereign Explore the Temple:Website & Pinterest — Wisdom, rituals, and inspiration to support your journeyFree Challenges — [Ignite Your Feminine 30-Day Challenge] + [Unleash Your Dark Feminine 14-Day Challenge] to begin your initiationFeminine Reclaiming Quiz — Discover what holds you back from embodying your Divine Feminine Step Deeper Into the Temple:The Crown Gate — A 3-Day Ritual of Remembering & Reclaiming the FeminineThe Temple Gate — A 3-Day Ritual of Self-Healing & SovereigntyThe Feminine Reclaiming Course — Your rites of passage into sovereigntyThe School of Self-Transformation...
