S02 E02. Exploring Perspectives pt1 - Spiritual Abuse and Deconstruction through Ecological Systems Theory

In this episode I reflect on challenging one's perspectives around church and spirituality. I discuss the impact of complex systems on spiritual development and influence, borrowing from American psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory (EST).


If you are open to considering different perspectives and frameworks to aid personal growth and healing from spiritual and church abuse, this may be a worth a listen.


Here are some links of videos explaining the basics of EST:
