Since this recording, the name of PDA has changed to Pervasive Demand Avoidance. I personally feel this is a better descriptor for this experience.
In this episode, I talk about what has helped me, as a PDAer, study the Bible. As PDAers, studying the Bible can be challenging. We know that we are supposed to study the Bible as Christians but also need to honor our nervous system’s response to the demand of studying the Bible.
