Spiritual trauma is trauma that ensued while attending a religious function or anywhere you get fed spiritually. Trauma that comes from these places usually stems from abuse, and often abuse of power. As a result, it can destroy your relationship not just with the people there at the facility, but with your relationship with your higher power. It can cause you to question yourself and whether you did something wrong, and even push you away from your faith.
Spiritual trauma sadly takes place far too often within the confines of spiritual places. It is very important to not self-blame during these times but to seek out help from a third not-partisan party to help you through this time. But don’t hold it inside and allow it to cause you to doubt your faith or who you are. Seek out help from someone outside your facility and get help.
It can be more shaming when the abuse stems from this place that we look to for guidance and that we trust, but it is far more common than you think and you are not alone.
