Lisa Kohn - Addicted to The Messiah
Divorced: Unification Church (The Moonies)
CW: Suicidality; abandonment; substance addiction
My guest today was a speaker at the very first Conference on Religious Trauma in 2021. Lisa Kohn is a Unification Church Second Gen, and she is the award-winning author of TO THE MOON AND BACK: A CHILDHOOD UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
Lisa understands what it’s like to be raised in – and torn between – two worlds. In fact, the best seats Lisa ever had at Madison Square Garden were at her mother’s mass wedding; and the best cocaine she ever had was from her father’s friend, the judge.
