#10 - Concepts of Healing from Spiritual Abuse

Spiritual abuse can leave deep and lasting wounds—wounds that impact not just our view of the church, but our understanding of God, trust, and even our own worth. In this episode of Mind and Faith Matters , Dr. Cory Potter explores core concepts of healing from spiritual abuse with a trauma-informed, Christ-centered lens.

Whether you're someone who has experienced manipulation, control, or harm in a faith setting—or you're walking alongside a loved one who has—this episode offers compassionate guidance, validation, and hope.

We revisit key takeaways from our previous discussion on toxic leadership and expand the conversation with practical steps for rebuilding safety, reimagining spiritual life, and reconnecting with God outside of harmful systems. We also offer encouragement and wise counsel for friends, family members, and fellow Christians supporting those in the healing process.
