Episode 125: Recovering From Purity Culture: Dismantle the Myths, Reject Shame-Based Sexuality, and Move Forward in Your Faith with Dr. Camden Morgante
Today's episode is a fascinating conversation about the phenomenon of "purity culture." You've heard the phrase, but my guest today, licensed therapist and purity culture expert, Dr. Camden Morgante, is here to explain exactly what it was and how it created a culture of shame, fear, and coercion around sex, especially for women.
We explore the damaging myths purity culture perpetuated and the ways it continues to affect women and married couples, especially around issues of intimacy and self-worth. Dr. Camden shares essential insights on how to heal from these harmful messages and move forward in faith, while also offering practical advice for anyone struggling with shame-based sexuality.
Key Takeaways:
- What purity culture is and its lasting impact on Millennials and Gen X
- The 5 damaging myths, including the "gatekeeper," "damaged goods," & "flipped switch"
- The most important strategy for couples dealing with disappointment around sex
- The real meaning of intimacy beyond physical connection
- Dr. Camden’s practical advice for overcoming shame and reclaiming your faith
