This weeks episode covers the new topic of "Religious Trauma Syndrome." This is a term used to describe the negative psychological and emotional effects that can result from experiences within a religion. 

In this episode, we explore the often unspoken struggles faced by individuals who have experienced Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS). Whether you grew up in a strict religious environment, faced spiritual abuse, or encountered cognitive dissonance between your beliefs and experiences, the aftermath can leave deep emotional scars.

It’s important to recognize that the impact of religious trauma can vary significantly from person to person, and not everyone who has experienced religious environments will develop RTS. However, listen to the podcast for examples which highlight some of the common experiences that can contribute to religious trauma syndrome. 

I hope in this episode to create a safe and supportive space for those who may be silently struggling with religious trauma. Whether you're on a journey of healing yourself or seeking to understand and support loved ones, this episode offers valuable guidance and compassion.
