About the event
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
