  • Shocked

    As I was listening to this podcast, I was shocked to hear Debra interview an ex who is a covert narcissist and was physically, emotionally, sexually abusive. A man who repeatedly told me that he owned me and that a man can’t rape his wife as he forced himself sexually on me was featured in this podcast.

How Do I Deal with Difficult or Toxic People? With Gary Thomas
Q: What role has feedback played in your co-authored projects, and how have you processed negative feedback?
Feedback is a tool for growth; the key is discerning trustworthy input and being willing to adjust, while staying true to the mission and God's call.
How Do I Deal with Difficult or Toxic People? With Gary Thomas
Q: How did your approach to walking away influence your writing of When to Walk Away?
It reframed the work as a therapeutic and spiritual exercise, showing how boundaries and discerning red flags in relationships can be healthy and necessary, not cowardly or unloving.
Dealing with Church Trauma
Q: Is church trauma mostly about individuals or systemic issues within the church?
It's often a mix, but healing benefits from focusing on relational dynamics, separating personal hurt from church-wide blame, and addressing how relationship patterns influence current experiences.
Dealing with Church Trauma
Q: What tools are helpful for people working through church trauma to heal and process what they've experienced?
Tools include recognizing personal feelings and triggers, owning one's role, setting boundaries, and moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach to a personalized healing plan that considers past hurts and present circumstances.
I’m Done Being Passive
Q: Well, I wanted to talk to you about working on being more assertive.
Debra prompts exploration of childhood patterns and practical steps; Michelle reflects on shifts from passive to more assertive behavior, including setting boundaries and asking for help.
