Today we speak with Dr. Patrick Knapp, PhD who, along with is wife, Heidi Knapp, CLC, runs an organization called Becoming Free where they "assist people to better understand and recover from their unique harmful religious or spiritual experiences and the painful relational dynamics of family estrangement." Their goal is "to support people to process their abusive experiences for improved insight, emotional growth, relational healing and spiritual development." They believe that this can be "accomplished through life-recovery coaching, periodic support and recovery groups, and various online and in-person educational resources.”
Dr. Knapp is also the author of “Understanding Religious Abuse and Recovery: Discovering Essential Principles for Hope and Healing” where he discusses different perspectives on how people best understand and recover from religious abuse.
In addition, Dr. Knapp and Heidi Knapp are contributing authors to a book called Wounded Faith where they write a chapter about marital repair after being a part of a religiously abusive situation.
Dr. Knapp speaks with us today about his experience in a bible-based cult and how that has helped to shape the work that he has been doing since 1984.
