Finding Truth: Deconstruction and Healing
Season 1
Shunning, Suicide, and the Path to Healing
by Robin Jackson and Darls Centola
Shunning takes more than relationships. For some, it takes everything. In this episode, Robin Jackson and Darls Centola sit down for an honest conversation about the link between shunning practices in high-control religious groups and suicide. We'll explore the psychological toll of disfellowshipping and disconnection, share stories of survival, and offer real pathways toward healing. This is a space for education and support, not sensationalism.

In this first episode of Finding Truth: Deconstruction & Healing, Robin Jackson and Darls Centola introduce the series and begin building the shared vocabulary that survivors of religious harm deserve to have. Because when you can name what happened to you, you begin to understand it. And when you understand it, healing becomes possible.
