Whose "Fault" Is It? with Jodie Austin

We talk about why it means so much that this podcast is called Women’s Words. How women have been silenced both literally and figuratively in the church, and some examples of that. Jodie is a teaching pastor and speaker extraordinaire with a strong drive for healing from all kinds of abuse, including spiritual or religious.

We discuss victim/reporting-party blaming & victim self-blaming. How amazing and capable children are. What, "letting your anger go" means. How to not become, or continue being, the abuser.

If you're part of the Church or a similar organization you'll find essential conversation here as to how to respond to people in the aforementioned situations.

We talk about trauma counseling and its relationship to spiritual help, and briefly discuss what “trauma-informed" means.
