S5E01: Kicking Off the New Year with Spiritual Abuse: How to Leave a Controlling Family Environment, with Katherine Spearing
Update: 2024-01-07
Description
Happy New Year! January is Spirtual Abuse Awareness month, and so we're kicking off the New Year with a couple of episodes with Katherine Spearing (@katherinespearing), host of the Uncertain Podcast (@uncertainpodcast) and founder of the nonprofit Tears of Eden.
Katherine defines spiritual abuse as "invoking a religious text or deity as a way to maintain power and control over both individuals and communities." In this episode, we describe the multiple systems in Katherine's life that practiced abusive dynamics--family of origin, churches, the Evangelical system at large. Katherine talks with us about:
- Stay at Home Daughters (7:00 )
- Women as Property (9:00 )
- Double Binds of Womanhood (13:00 )
- Arrested Development (17:00 )
- Labeling Abuse and Defining Spiritual Abuse Once More (25:00 )
- Finding a Voice You Never Had (29:00 )
- Individuation (31:00 )
- Phobias and Leaving Cults (39:00 )
- Silent Patriarchy (45:00 )
- Tears of Eden and Healing (55:00 )
