Episode 10: Religious Trauma (Ft. Lam Captan)

! TW: mentions of sexual abuse, rape !

[Dan] - Sorry my audio is a bit bad this week! Totally my bad, I hope you enjoy it anyway!

In today's episode, we're joined by special guest Lam Captan, a good friend of Dan from uni, to talk about her experiences and knowledge about religious trauma. We discuss what it is, how it may impact people, the effects on queer people specifically, and how some people reclaim their religion while embracing their sexual orientation or gender identity. We hope you enjoyed today's episode, we thought it was super interesting!
