REST: Recovering from Spiritual Trauma
Spiritual Trauma has been defined as occurring when a person's religious experience is stressful, degrading, dangerous, abusive, or damaging.
I am a mother joined by my adult daughter as we discuss our family’s story of recovering from spiritual trauma. In each episode of REST we will share our experience of 17 years in a church community with a high-control culture. Thankfully we are now on a journey toward true soul rest.

REST: Recovering from Spiritual Trauma
"Is it all in my head?"
In this episode we discuss the uncomfortable feeling of cognitive dissonance we experienced in our high control religious culture. Intense self doubt and feelings of confusion characterized many of our years there as the black-and-white teaching collided with what our gut was telling us. We had a choice to make, and it wasn't easy.
As always we love to hear from our listeners and invite those who have had similar experiences to join us a guest on future episodes. You can reach us at the.rest.podcast.info@gmail.com
