Neurotheology, Part 1: The Origins of Shame with Curt Thompson, MD

This week, we have the privilege of welcoming psychiatrist,
speaker and author, Curt Thompson, MD, to the Allender Center
Podcast.


Curt skillfully guides us through a journey into the roots of
shame within the human experience. He explores its emergence even
before the infamous act of consuming the forbidden fruit, noting
that the serpent's temptation, often overlooked as an act of
violence, effectively exploits and manipulates shame. This
manipulation resonates through time, manifesting in ways that
disconnect individuals from one another and create internal
divides, subsequently impacting personal unity and relationships.


Joined by co-hosts Dr. Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen,
this conversation unfolds at the crossroads of theology,
neuroscience, and the intricate tapestry of the human experience.


We think you’ll encounter at least a few thought-provoking
concepts that you may not have considered before – we certainly
did! And there's still more to come. Stay tuned for Part 2 of our
engaging discussion with Dr. Curt Thompson next week.
