I Was A Victim of Electroshock Therapy: A Former BYU Student Tells His Story For The First Time

In this important episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Ray, a former BYU student who underwent electroshock in the late 1970's therapy while President Dallin H. Oaks was the president of the university.

This episode is difficult to watch or listen to but it's extremely important to understand what happened to Ray. He has never shared his story before and we are so honored that he found the courage to speak on Mormonish Podcast.
