“A marker of healing from religious trauma is not simply the process of deconstructing one’s worldview and identity and rebuilding a new one; it is also the willingness to remain open to shifting and changing over the course of one’s life.”
Laura E. Anderson, When Religion Hurts You: Healing from Religious Trauma and the Impact of High-Control Religion

“Rebuilding a worldview and identity likely needs to include space for uncertainty.”
Laura E. Anderson, When Religion Hurts You: Healing from Religious Trauma and the Impact of High-Control Religion

“I have lived far too much of my life with the end goal of eternal life in heaven, and so I missed a lot of life on earth.”
Laura E. Anderson, When Religion Hurts You: Healing from Religious Trauma and the Impact of High-Control Religion
