In this episode of The Evidence Based Therapist, we sit down with Ethan to explore his emerging research on the intersection of religious trauma and neurodiversity. Together we talk about the challenges of studying a topic with so little existing scholarship, the independent study that sparked our collaboration, and how our friendship has grown through that work.

This conversation sets the tone for the season ahead: a deep dive into articles, stories, and artifacts that will help us think more deeply about these themes, shaping Ethan’s research toward publication and presentation. Along the way, Bridger also shares about his current research on non-conscious insidious adoptions and Kristeva’s idea of symbolic potential.

A season in the making, and an invitation to join us in the curiosity that drives it.
