Religious trauma is something that happens far more often than most people realize.In When Religion Hurts You, Dr. Laura Anderson takes an honest look at a side of religion that few like to talk about. Drawing from her own life and therapy practice, she helps readers understand:

● what religious trauma is and isn't

● how high-control churches can be harmful and abusive

● how elements of fundamentalist church life cause psychological, relational, physical, and spiritual damage

● the growing phenomenon of religious trauma and spiritual abuse

● how to embark on a journey of living as healing individuals and to find a new foundation to stand on

Recognizing that healing from trauma is a lifelong rather than a linear process, Dr. Anderson offers markers of spiritual healing for those coming out of painful religious experiences and hope for finding wholeness after religious trauma.
