TW: Religious trauma/abuse, religious manipulation, deconstruction, sexual assault/rape, SA investigation, mental health/depression

This week I tell my deconstruction story! I feel that with the topics we have going forward, it is so important that I share my background and give context on my religious trauma and deconstruction journey.  To anyone who has experienced religious trauma, I believe you and I see you. We will get through this and we will heal.
