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.
