Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse
Wednesday Jan 19, 2022
Wednesday Jan 19, 2022
Special guest: Amy Nordhues, author of Prayed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse, the story of one woman’s escape from the abuse of a respected, church-going psychiatrist. His office, which initially feels like a sanctuary, becomes a psychological prison, one from which Amy will have to fight to free herself. Amy provides an inside look at the warped beliefs that early abuse instills, beliefs that make adult victims vulnerable to the grooming of sexual predators. Her story shines a light on the under-reported sexual abuse of adults and ultimately the way victims can gain freedom from the bondage of shame that abuse leaves behind.
