Thank you for listening to this very special episode of Are You Spiritual! In this episode, I am joined by my dear friend; PhD, LMFT and Co-Host of Terror Talk, Shannon Calder.
This is a huge "get" because Shannon is amazing! As we discuss this story of Geshe Michael Roach, Lama Christy and Ian Thorson, Shannon insightfully illuminates potential causes and motives, while I attempt to break down the complex and often arcane Spiritual background.
The idea for a "Spiritual Scandal" series was born out of my love of true crime and passion for all things spiritual. I think it's important to tell all kinds of stories; this one depicts the outcome of unbridled spiritual narcissism, the illusion of trauma bonding and how bending the rules to suit one's own desires can lead to tragic consequences.
I truly hope you enjoy this episode and I'd love to hear your thoughts! x, jasmine
