This week, I dive into 2 terms that I refer to a lot (and for good reason). What the heck are religious abuse and trauma? How do we know if we’ve experienced them? What can we do if someone we love has experienced them? Most importantly: how can we heal?

I pull some research & resources from the psychology community, share personal experiences of religious abuse + trauma, uncover signs of spiritual bypassing, and give you a rad pep talk.


Listener discretion is advised due to the sharing of personal religious abusive and traumatic experiences within the Mormon Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints).
