We discuss stories of individuals seeking guidance from helpers only to receive harmful advice. We unpack the idea that these individuals, in fact, may not have received helpful support but instead, were traumatized by it. The episode also sheds light on how certain Bible passages or myths that exist in the Church can be taken out of context and cause more harm than good. Roane and Ben call this unhelpful intervention, \"helper trauma.\"  This episode is for anyone seeking guidance, as well as those who wish to better understand the potential harm caused by helpers who may not have the necessary knowledge or training. Join us as we uncover the broader range of problems that can arise when people seek help and instead receive harm."}
