What is religious or spiritual abuse & how might one recover from it?

Spiritual abuse is comprised of efforts that damage, pervert and/or hinder one’s understanding of and relationship with God.  It strikes at the core of who we are.  Most basic to our being or essence is that we are designed to be God-centered.  Spiritual abuse encourages one to make something or someone the idolatrous center of one’s being, thus misrepresenting what it means to be made in the image of God.

Becoming Free is offering  professionally facilitated support/recovery groups to those adults having suffered previous involvement in various abusive and harmful religious or spiritual environments.
