Tag Archives: recovering from spiritual abuse

Spiritual abuse is far too common, but we don’t talk about it. In fact, I had a counselor here on the Palouse once tell me she didn’t have the training to work with a spiritually abused client, and couldn’t think of a single person in the area she could refer me to. I get it. Things in the religious realm are unnerving. Some people won’t go near it. Others, though, will take advantage.

It is often difficult to discern a healthy spirituality from an unhealthy one.  

Karen Wanjico had no choice.

Turn away from her mother like the rest of the congregation, or be exterminated by God at Armageddon — which could come any moment — with no hope of resurrection.
