In part one, we explore the experience of growing up in a high-control religious environment and the painful process of questioning long-held beliefs. It looks at the grief, loss, and identity upheaval that follow leaving a faith community, and how stepping away is just the beginning of rebuilding a sense of self and meaning.

In the episode, we mention a charity called 'Faith to Faithless'. You can find them by clicking on the following link. https://www.faithtofaithless.com

In part two, we will look to equip mental health professionals with insight into the unique grief and trauma experienced by those leaving coercive religious systems, integrating theories of grief with trauma-informed and spiritually sensitive care.
