This episode is a reminder that we as therapists have a duty to do no harm. Part of this is sharing knowledge and skills that can help when there is immense suffering playing out in social media, politics and in systems that hurt by "othering." This episode looks at some of the games that are employed by bad actors, and offers ways we can more skillfully stay out of the chaos. In other words, how can we exercise skillful responding rather than reacting?

People listening that aren't therapists, I hope you consider some of these skills to navigate injustice. Perhaps take it to your own therapy, groups where you connect, or consider your own strategies.

Dr. Janys interviews Dr. Tanya Johnson (she/her/ella) a queer, neurodivergent, Cuban-American counselor educator, clinical supervisor, and licensed mental health counselor who was raised as a devout Mormon in Salt Lake City Utah. Dr. Johnson specializes in supervising and mentoring neurodivergent clinicians in private practice and treating religious, existential, and relational trauma in LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent adults.

Dr. Johnson shares about religious trauma through an intersectional feminist lens, addressing relational, cultural, and intergenerational dimensions of religious trauma. She describes how marginalized people in high-control religious and spiritual communities are particularly susceptible to religious trauma as many fundamentalist patriarchal religions adhere to doctrine that condemns their very existence. Counseling people through a crisis of faith requires a multidimensional treatment plan that addresses intrapersonal, interpersonal, community, and cultural factors.

In this episode, Janys describes what an existential crisis is, as well as the collection of terms that can involve questioning life and its meaning of it, death, and uncertainty. The thoughts that accompany an existential crisis can feel intense and heavy, and at times can lead to more rumination, or being stuck in our own heads.  

If you choose to see a therapist and talk about the heaviness of your experience, it is important that they can both help you define and validate your experience. A good therapist will help you explore what triggered the crisis, such as living through a world pandemic. People who experience existential crises may also contemplate suicide. Therefore, it is so important that you address both with your therapist. You can also call your local crisis line, or contact the national suicide at 1-800-273-8255 

A therapist will also help you balance both processing the existential crisis while living your life. It is important to remember that you matter and that you are not alone, and that you are not going to feel stuck forever in this crisis of meaning-making.
