[Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide and religious trauma]
In this deeply personal episode, I share my experience with religious trauma growing up Mormon, including a pivotal moment at age 12 that nearly cost me everything. We explore three fundamental ways high-demand religions can damage mental health: destroying self-worth, suppressing personal purpose, and denying autonomy. This episode is for anyone who has felt alone in their religious trauma or questioned whether their experiences were valid. Your story matters, and you're not alone.
