Recovery and Spiritual Abuse
Often our client's resistance to working a selfhelp program is because that program identifies as a Spiritual Program. Many of our clients have suffered spiritual abuse. Some have been physically or sexually abused by religious leaders. Many sexual minorities (LGBTQ) have been abused from the pulpit or their religion of origin's teaching on homosexuality.
In order for these clients to work a spiritual program, they need to identify what happened to them as spiritual abuse and then heal from that abuse just as any other type of abuse in order to have a healthy spirituality.
This session will explore the types of spiritual abuse, use sexual minorities as a target audience for understanding how damaging spiritual abuse can be and then discuss ways to assist clients in the healing process from their spiritual abuse.
Learning Objectives:
-
Identify damaging remarks about sexual minorities from religious groups as spiritual abuse.
-
Compare the effects of spiritual abuse to physical/sexual abuse.
-
Name three strategies for assisting clients in healing from spiritual abuse.
