Letting the ghosts out of the closet.
This pastoral case study is a reflection on intimidating personalities and how those personalities can effect the leadership style and emotional responses of clergy. When a clergy person finds that he or she is caught in an emotional triangle because of intimidating factors, it becomes necessary to develop a strategy to "unhook" through changing the clergy's behavior. This case study is a reflection regarding a personal experience.
