Über diesen Titel

Introducing the What The Church? podcast, I’m the host Jacqui Cousins. I’m a Public Health Practitioner specialising in institutional harm.


This podcast is focused on improving health and spiritual care for people who have experienced religious harm. I interview people with a lived experience, and health and spiritual care providers who are committed to religious trauma recovery. Each person’s story improves our understanding of religious trauma, and their insights will empower us to deliver health and spiritual care in a safe and trauma-informed way.


What The Church? believes breaking free from coercive religious practices is essential to improving the health and wellbeing of church communities. Join us for the conversation.

    Acknowledgement of Country

    I'd like to begin by acknowledging the Bunurong people, who are the traditional owners of the land of which I sit and record this podcast. I pay my respects to elders past, present, and emerging who are helping their community recover from religious trauma due to the forced removal of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children, often facilitated by religious leaders of the day. I also want to thank my Aboriginal clients for sharing your stories with me. Each of you has reminded me how freedom is fundamental for people to thrive in this life. Your stories have helped shape my practice.

    • Connect with Eugene Wong at A Stronger Narrative
