Episode #535

Episode #534
This week I welcome therapist and author Veronica Thompson, a self-labelled "Christian therapist" who shares her work and opinions about where religion does and doesn't belong in the therapy space. I know people have strong opinions about this and I believe we had a very nuanced and understandable conversation about it. Enjoy! Veronica's website: https://VeronicaThompson.com
Episode #533
This week I welcome therapist, author and narcissist specialist Dr. Tina Paone to discuss the psychology of narcissism and recovery from it. She is the author of a recently released book on recovery from narcissistic abuse titled Unbroken: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Reclaiming Me. Enjoy!

Episode #532
Today I welcome back Jon Atack to continue our series of podcasts to debunk the "basics" of Scientology, one bit at a time. This week we didn't make a lot of progress in our book review as we kept it short and mainly addressed Hubbard and his very outmoded ideas about the human brain. Enjoy! Roehampton University in London is conducting a survey into the effects of mandated shunning—or enforced disconnection—with the aim of introducing new legal provisions to the UK's existing coercive control law. This important study will help shift public opinion, offer protection and safeguarding to former members, and encourage education in our schools about the dangers of high-demand groups and their authoritarian practices. The survey is anonymised. It takes about an hour to complete, but can be done in stages at your own pace. Windy and Savin would also like to talk with people who have suffered disconnection. Please take the survey and let others know about it. Take the survey here: https://stopmandatedshunning.org/survey/ And here's the information page: https://roehamptonpsych.az1.qualtrics... or you may contact the researchers directly: Dr Savin Bapir-Tardy Senior lecturer in Counselling Psychology Roehampton University (s.bapir-tardy@roehampton.ac.uk) Dr Windy Grendele, Senior lecturer in Psychology, Roehampton University (Windy.grendele@roehampton.ac.uk) Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in getting this posted this week. In this week's special live podcast episode, I am exploring where we derive meaning and order and morality, which are not ivory tower concepts relegated to an academic education but are in fact, the stuff of our daily lives. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
