Episode 3: Update with Dr. Julie Hanks

Co-host Tim Kosnoff reconnects with therapist and author Dr. Julie Hanks, who shares an emotional update: after years of faithful participation she has stepped away from activity in the LDS Church. In her own words, Dr. Hanks explains how increasing scrutiny from Church leadership and coordinated complaints from the public made her feel unsafe, unsupported, and ultimately pushed out. Diving into the power dynamics at play when institutions resist critique, Julie reflects on the cost of being “ahead” of the institution, the pain of losing community, the resolve it takes to walk away, and that her work continues with or without institutional approval.   Episode Transcript: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XJB5bi7ZItLRpC47FNs5XM0U-Fc1xAAI/view?usp=sharing Additional resources, and a contact form are available at ArchitectureOfAbuse.com Learn more about Dr. Julie Hanks’ work at https://www.drjuliehanks.com/ and follow her on Instagram https://instagram.com/drjuliehanks   Contribute to the conversation by: > Following/subscribing to the podcast > Leaving a review/rating > Following https://instagram.com/architectureofabuse and https://tiktok.com/@architectureofabuse > Sharing the podcast with someone who might benefit from these discussions   All views expressed are opinions only and do not constitute legal advice. Every case is unique and should be considered and handled on a case-by-case basis. Under current law, and after decades of experience bringing cases against institutions like the LDS Church, it is our professional opinion that there is no mechanism to handle CSA-related claims other than individually. Under current law we do not anticipate that, without substantial changes to the law, there will be a mechanism—class action, consolidated cases, federal multi-district actions, or anything else—that will allow these claims to proceed on anything other than an individual basis. They are all simply too fact dependent. For inquiries about legal representation, visit kosnoff.com   Hosts | Alyssa Grenfell & Tim KosnoffExecutive Producers | Lindsay Hansen Park & Eric W.
