Lesson Overview

15.16 – Spiritual Abuse: What It Is and Why It Matters: Spiritual abuse happens when someone uses faith as a weapon instead of a guide. It can sound holy while causing deep emotional harm—guilt, shame, or fear dressed as devotion. You might be told that questioning is sin, or obedience is the only path to love. These tactics strip away self-trust and independence. Recognizing it is the first step toward freedom. True spirituality uplifts and empowers; it never demands silence or surrender of self-worth. Healing from this abuse means separating divine truth from human manipulation. You are allowed to rebuild your belief system based on compassion, equality, and safety. Understanding spiritual abuse helps you see that control was never sacred—it was control disguised as care. Once you reclaim your voice, you rediscover a spirituality rooted in dignity, not domination.
