I just wanted to share a link to the Kansas City Oasis program this morning. Dr. Ray gave a really fascinating presentation on religious trauma and how it affects your brain. He also gives some really good resources at the end. You can check it out here. It is a recording of a Facebook live event.
Update: If you don’t have Facebook try this link. Click the “X” on the sign-in pop-up and you should be able to watch the video.
Don’t have Facebook so I can’t see it ,

I contacted the organizers and they are checking if they can make the video available for those who don’t have Facebook. I will let you know.

I looked him up on Wikipedia, and noticed this:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrel_Ray)
“In May 2011, Ray and Amanda Brown (an undergraduate at the University of Kansas studying sex and sexuality) released the results of a self-reporting online survey[17] of over 14,500 American secularists, titled “Sex and Secularism: What Happens When You Leave Religion?”, concluding that sex improves dramatically after leaving religion, and people who are religious exhibit similar sexual behaviors as the non-religious, but experience markedly increased guilt.[18] The study has been criticized for suffering from self-selection bias,[19] due to its recruiting of participants via the science blog Pharyngula.[20]”
(Degrees of separation, eh? 🙂 )
Thanks, John. I don’t do Facebook, either.
Your brain? My brain? My brain is pretty messed up. Always has been, can’t change it, well, much…
