Spiritual Anxiety and Religious Trauma - Tiffany Yecke Brooks

What this episode covers

Tiffany Yecke Brooks joins Michael to discuss her newest book, Holy Ghosted and her previous book, Gaslighted by God. If you struggle with spiritual anxiety—fear of hell, God's judgment, obsessive religious ritual, or feelings of never measuring up—then you need to hear what Tiffany says about methods of control in toxic religious communities and how to respond to them in a healthy way. In a much needed follow-up, Holy Ghosted: Spiritual Anxiety, Religious Trauma, and the Language of Abuse, she equips readers to understand and name tactics of spiritual abuse and manipulation. She joins Michael in discussing different methods of control found in toxic religious communities—including legalism, indoctrination, praise, and fear—and how to identify and respond to them in a healthy way.
