E29: Reclaiming Your Sexuality After Religion w/ Dr. Darrel Ray
Religions teach a lot of harmful ideas about our bodies and sexuality, none of which are based in biology or even reality. Coming out of religion, many people experience difficulty with knowing who they are sexually. Some people have experienced trauma around their sexuality and have deep doubts rooted in Purity Culture. Most people need to learn new ideas, skills and may need therapy to overcome past abuse - both physical and psychological. Dr. Ray will talk about ways to identify roadblocks to accepting your sexuality and learning to thrive as a sexual being. Dr Darrel Ray...

With all the many ways religion, love and life can leave us nicked and cut it’s no wonder that many of us are looking for a healing professional, but which one? And why?

What is the impact of religion on human sexuality? You see, growing up in the church, I was told all the dos and don'ts of sexuality for "Bible-believing" Christians. Yet, ironically, some of the preachers I'd listen to would contradict one another when it came to "how far" one can go sexually, both before and after marriage.

And why were so many of my [natural] sexual desires considered "sinful"...
