Spiritual & Demonic Nightmares from Religious Trauma

Heal Religious Trauma - Stevie Noah

#religioustrauma #spiritual #demonic #nightmares
Spiritual nightmares were a MAJOR part of my religious trauma symptoms. For over 15 years I suffered from nightmarish, visceral, nightly attacks ranging from demons choking me or trying to pull my 'soul' out of my body...to being raped and bitten. During each experience, I was unable to move my body or get away from them. They were the most frightening experiences of my life!
Of course, I blamed them on myself as any 'good' Christian would. I was constantly torturing myself with thoughts and feelings like;
It's all my fault this is happening to me because I'm a bad girl.
Why can't I be better?
There's something wrong with me, I'm cursed.
God hates me so he's punishing me.
The Devil has me because I'm just born a bad person.
I'll never please God, I'm a piece of shit human.

All the while I was developing fears and mental disorders that would prevail in my life for years to come. Things like; fear of the dark, insomnia, anxiety, depression, ruminating thoughts, self-hate, OCD type behaviours, fear of ghosts/spiritual realm and so much more.
To add insult to injury my young, developing brain wasn't getting any sleep so I was missing out on vital brain and health developments as well!
While many people write these dreams off as 'just sleep paralysis or 'no big deal.' For the religious person haunted by them, they pose a REAL threat to their ongoing self-worth and reinforce Complex PTSD symptoms to a whole other level.
Religion is ripe with messages and neurological conditioning toward the "wrongness' of us human beings. Religious trauma and dogma can produce deep ongoing beliefs like;
I'm not worthy of anything good.
I'm not good enough for love.
I'm insignificant, I don't matter.
I don't belong, nobody likes me much.
I'm not capable of being a good person.
My brain was caught up in the belief that demons were always coming to get me, trick me, and bring me to their side-the bad side. It kept trauma looping from years of horrific indoctrination 'end-times-Hellfire-torturing' stories.
As I drew closer to my teens and started to become aware of my sexuality the guilt and shame feelings grew ever stronger. They saturated my body with fear of 'the change' looming. I felt isolated and trapped in a body I hated.
I began fighting with my parents for a sense of freedom, which they quickly referred to as rebellion...my utter personality flaw of 'lack of discipline and respect'.
All of these things and more contributed to the development of Complex PTSD.
