EP 45: Spiritual Bypassing: With Clint Heacock and Janice Selbie

NOTE:  Apologies for the poor audio quality on Dr. Daniel's microphone.
It wasn't discovered until after recording that the wrong mic was in use!


 In support of our upcoming Symposium on Spiritual Bypassing: Counseling and Support Perspectives, two noted experts sit down with Dr. Daniel to discuss their experiences growing up in high-demand religious communities and their exposure to this method of negative religious coping. 

Dr. Clint Heacock  is the host of The Dismantling Doctrine Podcast. The show is dedicated to raising awareness of the dangers posed by cults and other high-control religious groups; the agenda of the Christian Right and Dominion theology; and providing resources to those suffering from religious trauma syndrome after leaving religion behind. 

Janice Selbie  was born into a charismatic Christian home, attending Pentecostal, Vineyard, and other Evangelical churches and in her 30sbecame ultraconservative, donning a head-covering, homeschooling their children, and rejecting any vestiges of secular life. After breaking free later in life, she began to study the impact of religion and religious trauma sexuality, gender roles and equality, social justice, and more, and went on to earn a Diploma of Applied Psychology and Counselling. She counsels people who struggle with religious trauma, and runs "divorcing religion" workshops throughout the U.S. and Canada.
