Episode Summary:In this raw and reflective episode of Unwritten Chapters, I open up about the complicated trauma that comes not from the battlefield, but from the living room. From family. From silence.As a veteran, former paramedic, and survivor of PTSD, I share a personal account of emotional abuse, gaslighting, and betrayal—specifically the kind that occurs within family systems. This isn't a story about enemies; it's about the pain of being invalidated by those who were supposed to protect you. It's about choosing to walk away from family members who refuse accountability. About setting boundaries for your mental health and your recovery.Whether you're in addiction recovery, navigating complex PTSD, or struggling with toxic family relationships, this episode offers solidarity and insight. If you've ever felt unseen, unheard, or unworthy in the eyes of the people you should've been able to trust, this one's for you.
"Spirituality is like nuclear fission—it has the power to illuminate and energize but also to destroy when mishandled." — Dan Koch"Thriving isn't about a perfect life; it's about alignment between our deepest values and our lived reality." — Dan KochOn our path to spiritual health, we need to keep our eyes open to the ways religion and spirituality have been exploited to coerce, control, and create chaos. Focusing on the intersection of religion and psychology, licensed therapist, researcher, and podcaster Dan Koch is creating a public conversation about spiritual harm and abuse, helping victims learn how to deal with spiritual trauma, and offering insight and guidance toward healthy religious and spiritual experiences.From his own personal journey of religious trauma to his extensive research on spiritual abuse, Dan shares insights on how faith communities can both wound and restore. The conversation covers the psychological impact of religious trauma, the complexities of self-diagnosis, and practical strategies for self-knowledge and healing for anyone who has wrestled with faith, struggled with past church experiences, or have lost their religion.In this conversation with Dan Koch, we discuss:The psychological study of spiritual abuse and harm, including conceptual definitions and the many factors that come along with them.The symptoms and most recognizable patterns that point to spiritual abuseThe impact of abuse and trauma on psychological and spiritual healthHow to reappraise and challenge harmful core beliefsAnd how to find healing, joy, and transcendence as we deal with past trauma.Spirituality: Pro-Social Benefits, with a Shadow Side of Harm, Exploitation, and ViolenceThrough With & For, as well as the broader work of The Thrive Center, we regularly explore the expansive benefits and positives that emerge from our inherent spirituality as human beings, and how that relates to our individual and collective thriving.Religion and spirituality can be an immense force for good, offering countless pro-social benefits to the world, helping us our innate spiritual capacities is an essential factor in what it means to thrive.But we have to acknowledge the harm and vice and corruption—the violence— that has been perpetrated through religious and spiritual contexts. Spiritual abuse is a serious matter and there's no way we can cultivate a full understanding or integrated experience of healthy spirituality without coming to terms with its prevalence and effects.Dan Koch's attention to spiritual harm and abuse is about clearing the way toward a healthier spirituality grounded in care and healing. By exposing and exploring past traumas in the context of heathy and respectful relationships, we can grow into a more joyful faith and transcendent spiritual life.About Dan KochDan Koch is a licensed therapist supporting patients working through the trauma of spiritual abuse; and his work and insight in this domain emerges from his empirical research. He's also host of the You Have Permission podcast. With a background in philosophy and theology, he explores questions of faith, doubt, and spiritual well-being. His research focuses on the psychological effects of religious trauma and how individuals can heal from spiritual abuse.Find more of his work at dankochwords.com.You can find his podcast, You Have Permission wherever you listen to podcasts and find exclusive episodes at patreon.com/dankoch.Helpful Links and ResourcesDan Koch's WebsiteJoin Dan Koch's PatreonYou Have Permission PodcastDan Koch's Research on Spiritual AbuseThe Spiritual Harm and Abuse Scale Clinical ScreenerDevelopment of the Spiritual Harm and Abuse Scale (Article, May 2022)Quotable"I would just distinguish between self-knowledge and self-diagnosis—one leads to growth, the other can lead to unnecessary fear.""Avoidance is both a symptom of trauma and a cause of it—it keeps the rest of the symptoms around.""Spirituality is like nuclear fission—it has the power to illuminate and energize but also to destroy when mishandled.""You can't worship a villain—when spiritual abuse distorts your image of God, it becomes almost impossible to stay in faith.""Thriving isn't about a perfect life; it's about alignment between our deepest values and our lived reality."Show NotesDan Koch on spiritual abuse, religious trauma, and healingHow beliefs about God shape emotional well-beingPractical self-knowledge exercises to promote healingThe impact of fear-based religious teachings on mental healthStrategies for deconstructing harmful religious experiencesUnderstanding Spiritual Abuse and Religious TraumaDefinition and key elements of spiritual abuseDifference between spiritual harm and abuseThe role of power, control, and coercion in religious settingsHow religious trauma manifests in daily lifeConnection between religious trauma and PTSDThe Psychological and Emotional Impact of Religious TraumaThe interplay between faith, fear, and mental healthThe long-term effects of toxic religious teachingsHow avoidance perpetuates trauma symptomsSelf-diagnosis vs. self-awareness in spiritual healingThe importance of challenging harmful core beliefsPractical Strategies for Self-Knowledge and HealingDan Koch's guided self-knowledge exerciseHow breath work can regulate anxiety from spiritual traumaRecognizing and reframing harmful core beliefsThe power of contemplative practices in spiritual healingUsing evidence-based approaches to reconstruct faithHow Churches and Communities Can Foster Spiritual HealthHow leadership can avoid coercive controlCreating spaces for questioning and spiritual growthThe importance of transparency in religious institutionsEncouraging self-agency in spiritual communitiesRedefining authority and spiritual guidance in a healthy wayPam King's Key TakeawaysSpirituality is like nuclear fission: its incredible power can be harnessed for abundant good that is essential to thriving, but when it is exploited or used irresponsibly, the fallout is catastrophic for human well-being.Thriving is an integrative process that can be better understood and better lived when we draw from psychological, philosophical, and theological sources.Sometimes our core beliefs are the source of spiritual harm and trauma, and these can be reframed, reappraised, and challenged—aligning us with self-respect, truth, and love.

Send us a text"Single mothers are essentially the unofficial reserve army of prevention agents in this country and around the world." - Jess HillIn this episode, David and Ruth speak with Australian experts Jess Hill and Professor Michael Salter about their groundbreaking paper challenging current approaches to preventing gender-based violence. With Australia's commitment to end gender-based violence within a generation, yet concerning increases in sexual violence and domestic homicides, this timely discussion explores why traditional prevention strategies focused on changing social norms and attitudes have fallen short.Key points discussed include:The limitations of measuring prevention success through attitude surveys rather than actual reductions in violenceWhy structural interventions and accountability are essential alongside education effortsThe need to focus resources on high-risk scenarios and populations, particularly traumatized youthHow systems often fail to provide practical help when survivors, especially young people, disclose abuseThe importance of shifting from "calling out" to "calling in" approaches when addressing harmful behaviorsWhy prevention efforts must acknowledge the reality that most people have been impacted by violence rather than assuming a "clean slate"Related episodes:Season 2 Episode 12: How Coercive Control Harms Child Safety & Wellbeing: An Interview With Jess HillAdditional Resources:See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Abuse by Jess HillChildlight Research Centre - University of New South WalesJoin us in-person or online 18-20 March 2025 for the Safe & Together Institute Coercive Control and Children Conference.

ZACHARY OLIVERThe Descent into DarknessZach Oliver's childhood was a nightmare of chaos and violence. Growing up in a working-class family, his life took a dark turn when he was just five years old. His mother, battling post-natal depression, spiralled into alcoholism. The loving mother he once knew transformed into a monster before his eyes."She turned into just an insane woman around the house," Zach recalls, his voice heavy with pain. "Pissing in the kitchen bin, standing up, looking out of love and ahead of you know, I'm just, like, witnessing it, like I'm not there." A House of HorrorsThe family home became a battleground. Zach's father, returning from work, would find a trashed house and children with dirty nappies. The situation quickly escalated into a vile, abusive relationship marked by daily violence."There's just violence every day," Zach says, his words painting a vivid picture of the terror he endured. "And that was the same with all of us." The Brutal Reality of AbuseThe abuse Zach suffered was horrific and relentless. He recounts one particularly harrowing incident: "He smashed my mom's head through the bathroom sink, through downstairs, through the patio window over here." This brutality continued for five long years, from when Zach was just 5 to 10 years old. The trauma of those years would shape his life in ways he couldn't have imagined. A Mother's Desperate AttemptIn a twisted attempt to protect her son, Zach's mother made a devastating claim during one of the beatings. "At the end of the horrible beating they gave my mom, she told him that I wasn't his son," Zach reveals. This lie, meant to shield him, only intensified his father's focus on hurting him. The Loss of InnocenceZach's childhood innocence was shattered by the constant violence and fear. "I lost my sweetness," he admits, reflecting on the transformation from a loving, affectionate child to a hardened survivor. The cycle of abuse seemed endless. Nights were punctuated by hasty escapes to women's shelters, only to return home weeks later. Each time, Zach lost a piece of himself. The Birth of an AddictThis traumatic childhood laid the foundation for Zach's future struggles with addiction. At just 15, he found solace in cocaine, marking the beginning of a 15-year battle that would nearly cost him everything. Zach's story is a stark reminder of the long-lasting impact of childhood trauma and the insidious nature of addiction. But it's also a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the possibility of redemption.Contact Elliott directly on: 07875 751960 or find out more on his website: https://www.hypnosis-expert.com/ADDICTION/

**Content Warning: mentions of child SA** Emily Elizabeth Anderson—a featured survivor on the cult documentary “Shiny Happy People” exposing the IBLP— is an example of how abuse thrives within these extreme fundamentalist Christian teachings. She endured trauma after trauma which caused her body to shut down with Crohn's disease. Once she recognized the abuse at the hands of her father and Bill Gothard himself, she joined a lawsuit against IBLP and Bill and deconstructed the toxic teachings from her past. Now, a force to be reckoned with, her advocacy work at Thrivingforward.org (which she created) has helped countless survivors of abuse get the help and support they need.

In the United States, 1 in 7 women in an abusive relationship will not make it out alive. This is a scary statistic and it's incredibly important for these women to share their stories and say enough is enough. In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Christine Malek to discuss how women of abuse can find their voice again.Join us as we talk about Christine's story of nearly losing her life to domestic violence and how she now works with women in similar situations to help them begin to focus on the women they want to be and look to the future.

Her unique approach brings out the strength and the light that shines in each woman, especially those that have survived abuse. She believes once you are out of that situation there is an obstacle for that woman; to face an even bigger challenge – what do I do now and who am I? Her SASSI® Program is designed to help you find those answers with a new beginning to get you to your goals and objectives of where you want to go and who you want to be. Being a survivor and victor herself, she has made it her life's mission to help every woman to Be, Do, Have SASSI®, encouraging women to “Ruffle Some Feathers & Blow Some Minds!” In today's episode we cover: The importance of not thinking of yourself as a victimChristine's story and how she got to where she is nowThe grieving process after getting out of an abusive relationshipThe guilt and shame that women in abusive relationships feel The effects of surviving an abusive relationshipWhat to do if you suspect someone that you know is going through abuseThe hard work of finding your voice The power of sharing your story We hope you enjoyed our conversation with Christine.

This episode is about the tough but very important topic of childhood trauma. I’m here with Dr. Tanner Wallace, a former university professor of health and human development turned full-time trauma recovery guide. She hosts her own podcast called “The Relational Healing Podcast” and helps adult survivors of childhood trauma heal their attachment wounds. We discuss how childhood wounds can express in our lives, even if we don’t have a really specific extreme trauma, and the way these wounds show up in our relationships. We also go into the differences between traumatic events, how what happens after an event is often more important than the event itself, and the reason emotional neglect can be more harmful than physical abuse for children. There will definitely be follow-ups to this episode. But as a starting point, I can’t wait to share today’s episode with you. Let’s join Dr. Tanner. Episode Highlights With Tanner Wallace How childhood wounds can express in our lives, even if we don't know we have specific traumaThe way childhood wounds show up in adult relationshipsDifferences between traumatic events and if they are traumatizing or notHow what happens after an event is often more important than the event itself Why trauma isn't just assault and physical abuseThe reason emotional neglect can be more harmful than physical abuseHow trauma and wounding are a continuumThe way our brains and bodies cope with trauma and how our personalities develop protective responses First steps to recognizing and starting to unpattern childhood woundsHow to deactivate default survival codes The somatic connection to working through childhood wounds and how to develop the body awarenessWitness, befriend, validate, and eventually release What attachment wounds are and how to recognize themWhy many of these wounds often bubble up when we enter primary relationships and start creating familiesHow to find a trauma-informed therapist to help work through thisWhat the Internal Family Systems Model is and how this method worksHer Relational Healing Lab approachWhat emotions are and tools for helping our kids have a better emotional vocabulary from a young ageAnd more!

Thinking of the Christian church as a field hospital is a wonderful thought, but what happens when the very place you go to for healing becomes the locus of trauma? What happens to faith and flourishing when the hospital becomes a battlefield? For all the media attention given to cases of spiritual abuse, there is very little by way of psychological research. Dan Koch, host of the podcast You Have Permission and a doctoral student in counseling psychology at Northwest University, explores the tragic and damaging phenomenon of spiritual abuse; its impact on the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual life; and identifies some of the most important factors in understanding its underlying causes and developing approaches to healing for victims. Interview with Evan Rosa.Show Notes"Religion is like nuclear fission. When done well, nuclear fission can give us free electricity indefinitely with a little bit of care and a little bit of grooming. It's this tremendously powerful source of energy and flourishing. But it also, when done poorly, can melt a reactor, kill tens of thousands of people, and irradiate land for a million years.""What we do when we spiritually abused someone, not only do we harm them, we cut them off from what may have been their primary healing source. In the same move, we make it harder for them to use their faith, use their spirituality to heal from the harm we just did to them."“The church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.”For our purposes, "spiritual abuse" means any form of physical, mental, sexual, or spiritual harm or trauma that occurs in a religious context.About You Have PermissionTheology and psychology—TheoPsych and Blueprint1543How Dan Koch got interested in spiritual and religious abuseEnd-times terror as a form of spiritual abuseSpiritual and religious abuse has scant literature, but covers a variety of species of abuse and harm.A Venn diagram with other kinds of abuse and harm, in religious contextsControlling and narcissistic pastorsConditionalityViolence, horror, and terrorDeveloping a God imageRestricting negative emotions and unhappinessThe prevalence of spiritual abuse—Liz Oakley's study of the U.K.Jean Vanier and Ravi Zacharias—celebrity, fame, and power dynamics that lead to spiritual and sexual abuseThe power of religious leaders in American lifeConflating the religious leader with GodThe impact of spiritual abuse on the plausibility of faith: rationality, emotion, and the holistic response of a person to abuseResponding to spiritual abuseStanding in solidarity with victimsAbout Dan KochDan Koch is host of the podcast You Have Permission and a doctoral student in counseling psychology at Northwest University.

You might give someone the benefit of the doubt too often. You may be on the receiving end of verbal abuse AND it's important to be clear about it. Verbal abuse is bullying to win. It's unacceptable. Recognize the many faces of verbal abuse now!According to USLegal.com, verbal abuse is "words used to cause harm to the person being spoken to."

Lean in and learn all the many ways that verbal abuse shows up. You may have slowly grown accustomed to it, and that's what needs changing now. See verbal abuse for what it is: a gateway to other forms of abuse.

We mentioned many resources for victims of abuse in this episode. Here are the links and info we promised you. Please be safe and love and value yourself enough to remove what hurts you and choose to instead surround yourself with people who love you and build you up - not tear you down or minimalize the depth of the magnificent person you are. You are magnificent. You are worthy of love and growth and support. You matter. So much. #1 Types and Signs of Abusehttps://www.dshs.wa.gov/altsa/home-and-community-services/types-and-signs-abuse#2 Resources https://ncadv.org/resources#3 How to Recognize the Signs of Mental and Emotional Abusehttps://www.healthline.com/health/signs-of-mental-abuseThe movers I mentioned in the podcast that help domestic abuse victims are located on the West coast in the U.S. and are called Meathead Movers. They run Meathead Way. In Houston there was mention of another similar company and their company is 3 Men Movers. You can always call your local moving companies and see if they, or a company they know of, offers services for abuse victims needing to flee. Of course, for information, you can always contact The National Domestic Abuse Hotline - as they would be a cornerstone for local or national help available to you. If you need immediate emergency shelter, call your local police department and ask for the info on those resources or call 9-1-1. Love and blessings to your tired souls sweet beans! It does get easier. It does get better. But it does require you to take action.https://www.thehotline.org/help/https://www.thehotline.org/tag/latin-america/https://www.whiteribbon.org.au/find-help/domestic-violence-hotlines/
** Trigger Warning **This is a heavier episode. We talk about my suicide attempts and sexual abuse in explicit detail. If you are suffering or recovering from a mood or mental disorder, and/or sexual assault, abuse, or trauma, please listen with caution or don't listen at all. The last thing I would want is for hearing these stories to set you back in your healing journey or to trigger bad memories or thoughts. Also, if you are a bit more sensitive or an empath, you also may want to listen with caution. //I've shared my story openly and publicly about being sexually abused and suffering with anxiety and depression. My parents and siblings are secondary survivors to my abuse since they lived and witnessed the hell along side me. My support system has been a crucial part of healing from these traumas. In this episode, part 1 of 2, I have a conversation with my very own father, Brett Rogers, on what it was like parenting and supporting me through these traumatic moments in time.We talk about things like:My parents' experience finding out about my sexual abuseThe effect my extreme anxiety and depression had on my familyThe process of finding the right kind of mental health careNavigating extreme and suicidal behavior from a parent/caregiver standpointRecognizing abusive behavior//Connect with Brett Rogers here. //Follow along with the rest of my journey.

Being abused is a BIG deal! Not recognizing it is also a BIG deal.Often, when it happens when you are young, it becomes buried in the fabric of your life and you don't realize that you are operating from it. That happens too often.Maybe, you've downplayed the emotional abuse, or any other kind of abuse, in your mind to somehow make it alright, or at least, tolerable. Maybe, you've made up excuses for the other person. Or, worse, you've taken on the blame for the abuse on yourself!No. The very best thing you can do for yourself is to get some help to take a detailed look at your life, and see what really happened to you. Start with the insights and questions in this episode, and journal your thoughts.Emotional abuse can make your life darker. It's limiting, and enclosing. You need to be free from it, and that begins with recognizing the emotional abuse.This episode will definitely help, especially if you take the time to reflect on the questions. You deserve to do that.

Elder Financial Abuse. It is a dirty, disgusting term that makes most normal folks cringe at the thought of such a thing. The sad fact is, it is out there...in your community...maybe in your own family...in so many forms and in so many paces, many consider it an epidemic. Go figure that. This week, I am privileged to have Barbara-Anne Foley, Executive Director of the Harwich Council on Aging, as my special guest to help address this subject. In addition to her many duties in this important role, she has been able to leverage her experience with thousands of seniors and the stories they have told about financial abuse, by working with in partnership with the Harwich Police Department, trying to warn seniors about these frauds and scams. For those of you who do not know her, Barbara-Anne began her career in mental health and career counseling in Braintree, MA. She also worked in an adult day care center and a nursing center on Cape Cod before landing her dream job with the Harwich Council on Aging in 1999. She can be reached there at (508) 430-7550. She has developed a primary focus on Alzheimer's disease and hoarding, both population of which are growing in leaps and bounds. In 2006, when her own father lost his 10 year battle to Alzheimer's disease, she and her family started the "Remembery Walk ---Dave Birtwell Memorial", raising over $150,000 to date for Alzheimer's patients and their families. This show will hopefully help you understand: How to recognize elder financial abuseThe different types of financial abuseHow to uncover it in your own familyWhat to do about it once you do discover it This is an important show. Please tune in and tell as many people as you can to do so as well.
