Janice Selbie: Divorcing Religion


Listen Later

My guest this week is Janice Selbie. Janice is a Registered Professional Counselor (RPC) in Canada helping people through religious trauma syndrome. Janice is the director of the Conference on Religious Trauma. Janice’s personal story of fundamentalism, tragedy and eventual freedom is inspiringly and honestly told on the episode. Was it possible that everything I had believed had been wrong? CORT2020 is sponsored by the Secular Therapy Project (a division of Recovering from Religion) and by Journey Free, which is Dr. Marlene Winell’s organization. Use the discount code GA036  for $60 off a standard ticket. Janice also provides a workshop called “Divorcing Religion” using the analogy of divorce to help people out of fundamentalist religion. It might take a tragedy (or more than one) to shake you lose from your cognitive dissonance. This episode is another in the series of mental health professionals who specialize in religious trauma, religious abuse and the emerging term Adverse Religious Experiences.
