How to Survive Trauma in Religious Environments
The evangelical community would do well to learn about what love and faith means from the people who carry the traumas from the rejection of the church. Some of them received diagnoses of complex PTSD. They were unable to walk past a faith community without having a full body activation of the symptoms of trauma. The research helps us validate the impact and damage that members of this community and many other marginalized communities have felt but been unable to name. Often in communities where great harm has been endured, that beautiful, resilient, and powerful solutions to suffering emerge too.
