The Hurt
Harmful or confusing experiences with religious institutions or people may leave you feeling wounded, triggered, or even traumatized. You can resolve and heal from these experiences. Being taught you can’t trust yourself, and experiencing guilt, shame, and judgment are just some of the ways you may have experienced adverse religious experiences.
If you would like to explore whether you have experienced some level of religious trauma, you can start with this Adverse Religious Experiences Questionnaire: https://www.sanctuaryic.org/blog//adverse-religious-experiences (scroll down a tiny bit on their and you will see the Questionnaire).
