Rewind: Conversion Therapy Nearly Killed Me - with Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez

OCT 21, 202635 MIN

Description

Conversion therapy is back in the headlines—and it may be closer to home than you think. Today, we’re unpacking the reality of conversion therapy: what it teaches, how it operates, and the lasting impact it can have on identity, spirituality, and healing. In light of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Chiles v. Salazar, this conversation feels more urgent than ever. To help us do this, we have Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez, author of the upcoming book Conversion Therapy Dropout (May 5). Through Tim’s personal story, we explore the pull of religious spaces, the promise of belonging, and the painful unraveling that can follow.
