Everone’s talking about deconstructing evangelicalism. But what about recovering from it?

If you grew up in a conservative evangelical church and/or household, it’s quite possible you experienced spiritual abuse, even if it was unintended. Why? Because, sadly…

Spiritual abuse and the ensuing religious trauma aren’t tied to any particular religion, but more fundamentalist expressions of faith are breeding grounds for abuse.

It’s easy to think, “Gosh, my trauma is only spiritual in nature, so it’s not that bad.” Or “Other people have experienced much worse, so what do I have to complain about?” But religious trauma is real trauma.
