In this re-release episode, Rachel introduces Pamela Jackson, a licensed clinical social worker, creative nonfiction writer, and mother. Pamela delves into her past involvement with the International Church of Christ (ICOC), the impact of her mother's narcissism, and the death of her father. She shares her journey of trying to mend her relationship with her mother through structured conversations, her subsequent realization that her efforts were a form of recreating the dynamics of the cult, and her shift towards professional therapeutic work. Engaging deeply in inner child work and the study of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, Pamela reclaims her story and finds empowerment through her professional practice and writing. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing patterns of vulnerability and finding self-determination after leaving controlling environments.
