EP 14: What is religious trauma?

Ever felt church hurt? Ever had an experience of your faith where it hurt but you didn't know why?

Maybe you're actively deconstructing your faith, or maybe you've had an experience of being burnt out from ministry and you can't figure out how the way people treated you reconciles with the Jesus you know.

If any of these things are true, you may have experienced religious trauma. In this episode, we discuss the viewpoint that if you just had the right teaching and knew enough of the right stuff...then you wouldn't have been hurt.

We dissect the toxicity of this belief system and the experiences that both Kam and Karla have had with well-meaning people who minimized the hurt or trauma.

In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why "knowing the right things" can't possibly prevent hurt (and how to respond to people who put this on you)
- Why you can "have everything right" and still create an environment where dysfunction and pain arises
- How to have hope in the midst of healing from religious trauma and searching for Jesus
