For God's Sake - Anna Clark Miller

"I feel guilty all the time, even when I'm not doing anything wrong..."Are you navigating fear, shame, and isolation in the aftermath of harmful experiences in religion? Are you so used to suppressing your own needs and emotions, that you don't know how to express them anymore? Author, therapist, and religious trauma survivor, Anna Clark Miller has been where you are. The descendant of two generations of missionaries, Anna grew up feeling spiritually inadequate, terrified of unseen threats, and ashamed of her discontent as a missionary kid. When, in adulthood, she started reckoning with the religious harm she'd experienced, it was terrifying at first. But instead of experiencing deeper suffering, she found incredible restoration. For God's Sake: Recovering from Religious Trauma offers language to help you understand what you've experienced, process your hurt and anger, and start healing on your own terms. You'll learn how to turn your self-judgement into curiosity, and your shame into self-compassion. Each chapter includes multiple inventories, checklists, and personal reflection prompts to help you connect more deeply with yourself and gain insight into how religious trauma has impacted you.
