She shares her personal story of growing up in a high-control religious environment and her eventual escape from an abusive marriage. Her experiences shed light on the dangers of rigid ideologies that value ideas over people, and the critical need for compassion, discernment, and support for those trapped in such systems. Tia shares important lessons for recognizing and addressing the rise of extremism in our culture, and the importance of fostering an expansive, loving, and life-giving faith.

Prayer and spirituality isn’t a replacement for medication and therapy. It's a condition that is genetic and biological.
Not for everyone it isn’t.
The Hebrew word for commandments is mitzvot. It does no appear in either version of the “Ten Commandments..” The Hebrew word used is Devarim which means words or things.
They want to use the KJV when it is an English translation of a Greek translation of the Hebrew original. It's therefore inaccurate. It led to translating the original Hebrew a young woman as a virgin.
It sounds like she went into the marriage with a significant amount of preexisting personal problems or immaturity. This, combined with the preexisting problems of her spouse, would have caused chaos in any marriage. Patriarchy and religion played their roles but the marriage likely would have failed regardless. Extremes of patriarchy and religion have their faults, but so can feminism, drug addictions, and all kinds of other distortions of healthy living.
Feel free to leave this clearly isn't about you

It’s situational. Prayer and faith can cure anxiety-it did for me.
