Description
MY BRAND NEW 11-PART SERIES THE INSTASCAMMER - https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-instascammer--7247429
In this episode, host Kacey interviews religious satirist and writer Becky Garrison about her book Gaslighting for God: A Satirical Guide to Save Yourself from Spiritual Narcissists
A satirical, research-anchored consumer guide to recognising spiritual narcissists and knowing when to walk away. Garrison discusses her background, the Wittenberg Door satire magazine, family experiences with alcoholism and narcissism, and how awareness, trauma healing (including EMDR), and boundary-setting help people discern healthy communities from coercive, exploitative ones. She defines narcissism as a lack of empathy and explains spiritual narcissism as using religious or spiritual language to control others by threatening their souls. They cover love bombing, consent, online influencer culture, psychedelics and untrained facilitators, institutional religion’s decline, and practical red flags like intolerance of pushback, shaming, conditional belonging, and leader-centered control.
