Trauma, Faith, and Historical Perspectives

This chapter candidly discusses the lasting impacts of childhood trauma, particularly from authority figures within the Catholic Church, and how these experiences foster disillusionment with organized religion. It further explores the intersection of historical interpretation and personal belief, reflecting on the contrasting influences of education from nuns versus lay teachers. By examining philosophical teachings and the narratives shaped by marginalized perspectives, the chapter invites listeners to reconsider their understanding of history and spirituality.
