Hey Mom, Everythings Alright

Episode 42. Welcome to Part 2 of the conversation with Emily Davey about Spiritual Formation and Religions Trauma. Emily is a graduate student at Old Dominion University pursuing her masters in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. In Part 1, Emily shared about her research regarding James Fowler's Spiritual Development Model and Religious Trauma Syndrome, and how they interact. Her research was specifically within the context of the American Evangelical Church, in which she raised. And she shared how her research was performed on herself as she was removed from the University, in which she was studying at the time, after presenting her research. In part 2, Emily goes more into detail about her own faith journey. She shares her own deconstruction process and how that led to identity work. We also talk a good portion about individuation and how that is reflected in Fowler's Spiritual Development Model. Enjoy!
