The Rock & Roll Shrink

For persons who are open to it, a healthy, positive, growth-oriented spiritual or existential orientation can be both a life-focusing force and an advantageous tool to help buttress the “slings and arrows of” life’s outrageous fortunes. Sadly for many Americans, far too many have adopted an unhealthy spiritual or religious orientation and, in some cases, are abusive with it in a manner that mimics addictive and/or abusive behaviors. For many others, Americans have confused “spirituality” with “religious orientation”, which are NOT the same entity. For this 13th podcast, what differentiates a healthy spiritual orientation from an unhealthy, additive, and/or abusive one will be explored. The differences between “religions” and “spiritual orientations” will also be discussed, with various authoritative research studies and/or individuals in the field cited for the listeners’ further study. Ways for the victims of such negative spiritual and/or religious orientations to combat these abusive, addictive, and/or negative religions and spiritual orientations (and persons who follow them) will also be suggested. For those wanting to create a more positive spiritual or religious orientation for themselves, various tactics will also be presented.
