Religious Trauma
Sometimes the faith path takes wild turns, leaving you in a tough spot. We are here to help you through it and redefine spirituality on your own terms.
Understanding Religious Trauma
Religious trauma can emerge from environments where belief systems cause harm, rather than offer refuge. It might stem from direct experiences, such as undue harm from a religious figure, or indirect pressures, like the internal turmoil of maintaining appearances to conform with community expectations. These experiences can leave deep imprints on your emotional and mental well-being, influencing how you see yourself and your place in the world.
