In this week's episode, professor Michael Drane meets with Geoffrey Wallis, author of 'A Voice From the Inside: Notes on Religious Trauma in a Captive Organization.' Geoffrey, who uses a pseudonym to protect his identity, shares his experience of leaving the Jehovah's Witness church, which he identifies as a captive organization, and the psychological and emotional trauma that ensued once he began to seriously question his beliefs. Listen in as they explore religious trauma, social isolation, cult criteria, and the spectrum of conformity and control present in most, if not all, modern religions, and how the church's policies lead to the phenomenon of Physically-In-Mentally-Out (PIMO).

Leah Babbitt is the Vice President of Human Resources at the Dallas Wings. She is also a Strategic Business Partner of Human Resources at American Fidelity. Leah holds a degree in Forensic Psychology from the University of Maryland.  When conducting interviews, Leah focuses on trying to get the essence of every candidate's personality.

On Sept. 30th, 1995 in Bellaire, Ohio -- 16 yr old Ryan Brooks was staying over at his friend Erik's house. Like most teenagers, Ryan and Erik were up late hanging out. Ryan was out so late that he decided to check in with his parents. Ryan calls home at approximately 1:30 AM and his older brother Nathan answers the phone. “Tell mom and dad that I'm staying with Erik tonight." His older brother Nathan responds: “No, I think mom and dad want you home." Believing that his parents want him to come home, Ryan only stays out for an hour or so longer before having Erik drive him back. It was a decision that probably saved his life. When Ryan came home, he walked into a scene that undoubtedly scarred him for the rest of his life. His parents had been murdered.  His mother, Marilyn, had been stabbed and mutilated with both an axe and a knife. His father, Terry, was shot in the head three times with a hunting rifle. His head was cut off with a hacksaw and placed in a punch bowl in the kitchen while his body still lay in his bed where he had been sleeping. Ryan's older brother Nathan had lied to him. His parents hadn't asked him to come home. Nathan had wanted him to come home so he could murder him along with the rest of the family. Even more, Nathan had created a kill list, and at the top of that list was Ryan. After Nathan killed his parents, he covered the house with satanic emblems and pentagrams. Many believed that Nathan had killed his parents as part of a satanic ritual, and had fallen into the dark world of Satanic Practice. But Nathan and his lawyers plead insanity, insinuating that Nathan was not in his right mind when he killed his parents and had not meant to kill them. Nathan claimed the murders were not premeditated. Was this a case of an impressionable teen falling into satanic ritualism? Or did something happen that night to mentally compromise Nathan's sanity?

Lying is a big topic when it comes to love because when we ask ourselves what's most important in a relationship, honesty is usually near the top of the list. When we're dating, we can spend a lot of time discerning whether or not someone is lying to us in our relationships. And, discovering a partner has lied can end a long-term relationship in seconds. But have you ever stopped to wonder why people lie? I'm going to be the bearer of bad news and tell you that everyone lies. (Yes, even you!) Some people simply lie more than others. Freud said, “...no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips…” And if I were to say lying is usually a sweetheart message, you would probably think I am crazy and have no idea what I am talking about. So instead, we're going to let an expert lie detective explain it all. This week in the Love Shack, our special guest and lie detective is Mike Gorday MA, who happens to have a master's degree in Forensic Psychology backed by over twenty years of experience working in the psychology field, assisting those in the addiction, mental health, and disability areas. In addition, he has specialized training and certifications in facial expressions and muscle movement (FACS), hypnosis, and body language which gives him additional insight into what drives our behavior. In this episode, we're covering several key topics about relationship dishonesty and whether or not it's a big deal to lie in your relationship, including: Why do we lie? What do we gain from it? How do you know when someone is lying especially when they are insistent they are telling the truth? What's the best way to handle a liar? What do you do if you find yourself needing to admit you've lied and clean up a mess you've made by lying? How does lying affect our relationships? How big of a deal is it? Have questions about lying in love and relationships?

Have you ever been curious about the lived experience of Schizophrenia? All of us have the ability to have our senses fooled.

It's 7PM, February 16th, 1981. Arne Cheyene Johnson, 19, has just been arrested for the murder of his 40-year-old friend and landlord, Alan Bono. Arne Stabbed Bono over 20 times after getting into an altercation about an unknown female. Fascinatingly, Arne Johnson claimed to have no memory of the event, stating that he was possessed by the devil after an exorcism was performed on his girlfriend's brother David Getzel. Following his conviction, Johnson served 5 years of his 20-year-sentence for exemplary behavior. The case of Arne Cheyenne Johnson baffles skeptics, affirms the believer, and truly blurs the line between the paranormal and the psychological. Is demonic possession real? Or is it simply a matter of one's cultural beliefs?
