In this episode I chat with Dr Dan Allender Professor of Counseling Psychology about abuse, trauma and religious organisations. Konrad asks the questions; Why do churches seem to be so full of hypocritical narcissistic leaders who abuse power? Why are we so attracted to these people?

- How to interpret the Genesis creation poem.
- Why we love watching church leaders fail.

- When trauma and religion mixes
- The role of shame, power and control.
- Why people abuse power.
- Is shame good or a bad?
