Returning for a 3rd time is author and therapist Dr. Mark Karris to discuss his book "The Diabolical Trinity: Healing From a Wrathful God, Tormenting Hell, and a Sinful Self." Mark's work fleshes out the damaging effects of certain doctrines of hell and his research offers several approaches to healing from theologically-tinged mental health issues. We discuss different therapeutic modalities that are well-suited to religious trauma work, like Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as memory consolidation, self-compassion, and more.

**Dr. Karris’s definition of religious trauma was an adapted version based on that of Laura Anderson & Brian Peck (Religious Trauma Institute) and Kendra Snyder & Kayla Felten (Reclamation Collective).
