Velvet Rage by Alan Downs, PhD - En este episodio nos acompaña Luis Cornejo para conversar sobre el trauma religioso desde su experiencia personal y profesional.

También hablamos sobre la complejidad de sanar mientras se mantiene el amor y la conexión con familiares que, a su vez, pueden haber contribuido al daño vivido. Luis nos ayuda a comprender cómo se manifiesta el trauma religioso, cómo podemos apoyar a quienes lo han experimentado y dónde encontrar recursos para acompañar el proceso de sanación.
