Ep 1207 | Therapy Whistleblower Exposes Forced Sexual Rituals at Catholic University | Naomi Epps Best
from Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey · host Blaze Podcast Network
Today, we sit down with Naomi Epps Best, a graduate student at Santa Clara University studying family and marriage counseling, who recently exposed the shocking curriculum in her required human sexuality course. Naomi shares her disturbing experience of being required to engage with erotica, pornographic content, and a sexual autobiography assignment. She reveals how her Christian faith led her to challenge this ideological capture in therapy education, culminating in a Wall Street Journal op-ed where she blew the whistle on her program. Then, she got fired. We discuss the university’s response, the crisis in the mental health profession, and why critical thinkers are being pushed out. Naomi also shares her journey and her efforts to hold the psychological field accountable while pursuing her calling to help others.
