Ep. 102: Why Do People Become Fundie? (Deconstruction / Mental Health / High Pressure Tactics / Love Bombing / Trauma / Adverse Life Experiences / Cult Stories / Fundamentalism / Jesus)
10/03/22 • 86 min
In this episode, Sadie takes us through the four main ways in which people get sucked into fundamentalism
In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This episode will briefly mention miscarriage, infertility,the death of a young child, families that struggle with addiction, unstable family dynamics, and various types of child abuse, and we will be going into detail on cult manipulation tactics like love bombing and other types of coercion.
