Religious/spiritual trauma impacts many people across the world. Religious trauma results from experiences associated with beliefs or practices within religious communities or spiritual communities that negatively impact a person’s emotional, psychological, social, or spiritual well-being.

Topics such as this can be difficult to talk about. It can bring about feelings of shame, isolation, and other overwhelming emotions. I feel encouraged to bring more awareness to this subject.

There are many resources available for those experiencing religious or spiritual abuse and trauma. There is hope. You are not alone.
