This week Jeremy looks at how the church covers up abuse and protects predators, and how those same tactics of spiritual bypassing and DARVO are being employed by Mike Johnson to protect our pedophile in chief. We look at examples of institutional coverups like Bill Gothard's grooming and abuse at the IBLP and of course we look at the catholic church and southern Baptist convention having decades-long coverups. The religious right holding major roles in government inevitably leads to seeing these tactics employed to protect the institution and hierarchical power structures.
As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com
