The Religious Trauma Survival Guide
People who have been deeply wounded by high-control groups or religious experiences are often desperate for authentic support, unbiased information, and practical skills for recovery. The Religious Trauma Survival Guide offers empathy and understanding to its readers while giving them language to describe what they've experienced. Each chapter includes inventories, checklists, and personal reflection prompts to help readers process their hurt and anger, gain insight into how religious trauma has impacted them, and begin healing from it.
Part 1 of The Religious Trauma Survival Guide provides education about trauma symptoms, the common impacts of religious trauma, the abuse dynamics of high-control religious groups, and other experiences that are common among religious trauma survivors. Part 2 of the book focuses exclusively on processing and healing, offering a holistic view of trauma recovery. By the end of the book, readers will have practical tools for building self-compassion, restoring a sense of autonomy, and healing.
