Religious Trauma: Fundamentalism in Religion and Its Effects on the Body with Dr. Laura Anderson #15

Religious trauma often results when a religious authority leverages positive or negative reinforcement to suppress their follower's freedom. As Orthodox Christians, we hold in tension the teachings of human freedom and spiritual obedience. These are not mutually exclusive – for human freedom is the basis of such obedience. Indeed, when an authority figure moves from respecting the individuals freedom to compelling them to act in a certain way, he moves from Orthodox obedience to religious abuse. Fundamentalism is key here. I will define fundamentalism as a tendency toward rigid thinking that makes oversimplifications and overgeneralization thereby reducing complex issues to a binary framework in order to avoid the discomfort of cognitive dissonance. While some issues are open-and-shut (like the command, "do not murder") others are not as simple (such as what to do in dangerous cases of ectopic pregnancies). This is where dogma meets real life. This is the place of the pastoral, not the dogmatic hardline.
