Walking back to church can feel like standing at the base of a cliff.

For many survivors of spiritual abuse, the idea of returning is not comforting. It is overwhelming. Your body remembers what your mind tries to explain away. The fear, the grief, the loss of trust, the tightness in your chest are not a lack of faith. They are signs of trauma.

If this feels daunting, that makes sense. You were hurt in a place that was supposed to be safe.

Go slowly. You do not owe anyone bravery, loyalty, or quick healing. It is normal to feel conflicted, cautious, or unsure. Be gentle with yourself. Compassion is not a setback. It is part of the healing. -- David Ruybalid
