Finding Our Minds
Finding Our Minds is a podcast about having mind, knowing mind, and changing mind hosted by Dr. Margaret Arnd-Caddigan (she/her) & Léa Fae Caddigan (they/he/she/fae/faer). Season 4 is all about healing from spiritual/religious trauma. By defining spiritual abuse, unpacking where it can take place (even outside of religious organizations), and discussing the steps towards healing from this trauma, Season 4's discussion centers the idea that a strong and autonomous sense of self can heal and re-build when it has been harmed.
Finding Our Minds
Identity
In this episode Dr. Arnd-Caddigan and co-host Leah Faye discuss the various ways in which those suffering from mental illness choose to identify. Today's lecture unpacks how mental suffering can arise when a society chooses to project an identity onto an individual whose sense of self is at conflict with the societal projection.
