Religion serves as a function. It helps bring people together for a certain cause, usually to serve higher consciousness or to source or God. It becomes an issue when it serves as a defense mechanism against shame, specifically sexual shame, fear of abandonment, and essentially helps a person avoid exploring their true self.
Is there a difference between religion and spirituality? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein takes a deep dive into this question, examining how each can impact our lives in unique ways. While religion often brings people together, it can sometimes become a shield against shame or even a tool for narcissistic and spiritual abuse. Yitz highlights that true spirituality is about connecting with your authentic self, rather than losing your individuality to groupthink or codependency.
He emphasizes the importance of personal spiritual growth and encourages listeners to explore their own paths, rather than relying solely on religious structures. If you've ever felt manipulated or hurt by religious or spiritual leaders, this episode offers valuable insights and support on your healing journey. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your spiritual autonomy and foster a deeper connection with yourself.
