Episode description
A clear picture has begun to emerge in the field of mental health of the toll that certain harmful, high-control religious practices can take. In 2011, Dr. Marlene Winell coined the term "Religious Trauma Syndrome" to give a name to the unique trauma that many former and current religious adherents face from their experiences. In this podcast, Caroline Winzenried begins to shine a light on the hidden toll of religious trauma that can last even years after leaving a religion.
