What happens when your fairy tale story turns into a nightmare? Rebecca Craig talks about this very thing - how she, a female pastor, survived a relationship with a narcissistic, abusive man who had perfected gaslighting, lying, and manipulation. Her vulnerability and honesty make this a gripping true life tale as described in her upcoming book, Once Upon a Nightmare: Through the Looking Glass of Narcissistic Abuse.
Rebecca explores the connection between fairy tales and faith, drawing on her experience working at Disney and her background in seminary. She highlights the charm and manipulation tactics used by narcissists and the challenges of recognizing and leaving such relationships. Throughout this difficult journey, Rebecca found support and strength from her faith community, who provided emotional and practical support.
Author & Pastor
I grew up in rural Nebraska on an acreage just south of Lincoln, and attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as a journalism major. After graduation, I moved to Burbank, California to pursue a career in the movie industry, eventually landing a position in Disney Feature Animation's story development department. After a few years, I moved into the realm of marketing and advertising until I followed the call to ministry and received my Masters of Divinity from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. I've been an ordained pastor in the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) since 2009. I love art, writing, and faith, and seek every opportunity to meld these worlds together.
