Surviving Spiritual Abuse

Religious trauma can take many forms, including sexual abuse. It can affect both children and adults, with fear, shunning, and threats of eternal condemnation sometimes used to maintain control. Healing from religious trauma takes time, support, and compassion. Recovery is possible. Thank you, Mika, for courageously sharing your healing journey. Your story may help others feel less alone.
