When suffering is perceived holy, healing can feel like heresy. Many survivors of religious trauma walk into therapy only to find psychologists don’t speak “Indoctrination” far less comprehend the gravity of eternity/damnation. The’ve never cried out to God while being abused, or have their mind split between devotion and betrayal. 

That written, finding a trauma-informed therapist isn’t a luxury, but a lifeline. These are professionals who understand trauma isn’t just stored in the mind and nervous system, but an immense burden of guilt and shame weighing at the conscience for years/decades post escape. 

Therapists trained in RTS and SRA understand spiritual bypassing, gaslighting cloaked as faith, and the fragmentation that occurs when a child learns to smile while breaking inside. Lyrics to “Heroes” come to mind: “You raised your Cain, I was never Abel… to deflect the blow….”

This space connects you with therapists who know how to handle faith-based abuse, religious grooming, moral injury, and identity reconstruction – those trained in Religious Trauma Syndrome and Satanic Ritual Abuse. Holding sacred the very trust so brutally violated. 

Remember, you are not “Backsliding” – you’re rebuilding. And healing doesn’t necessarily include shutting the door on God, so much as refusing to serve false idols bearing the name. 

“The right therapist doesn’t just help with coping – they’ll walk you back home to your inner child.”
