In this video, I talk about the 7 ways religion can be traumatizing. As someone who grew up in a very religious household, and very active in church, I found the benefits of church. But I also see that religious trauma syndrome is a real thing, and I have researched and heard so many stories of it. And I often get questions: do I have religious trauma? Signs of religious trauma? Religious trauma symptoms? or how do I leave a church? At the end of the day, religion should make us feel more connected to self and others, and if your church is making you feel hurt or separate, then it may be time to walk away. In this video I dive deep into religious abuse and toxic church culture. Let me know what you think below.

#7: Your church doesn't make space for disagreement or questions. 00:01:48
#6: Your church motivates with fear. 00:02:37
#5: Your church is not accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, practices conversion therapy. 00:05:45
#4: Your church prevents you from getting help. 00:07:42
#3: You belonging in church is conditional on your beliefs. 00:09:20
#2: Your church is involved in brainwashing and religious indoctrination. 00:10:54
#1: Religion isn't universally traumatizing or harmful. 00:11:54
