Tonight in #therapy we talked about Religious Trauma Syndrome (#RTS). It was a *rough* session. Rough.

I've been going to therapy every week for 3 years now, peeling away layers and digging deep. Tonight my shovel hit something solid: The Church. Specifically, the evangelical church. The source of emotional vacancy in our family.

Grief. Anger. Trauma. Unacknowledged harm on so many levels.

Tonight was rough. Goddamn.

It's unsettling, the somewhat par asocial relationships I built with certain authors in my evangelical youth. Like the author who you loved because their books seemed to show a way to a healthy and whole version of Christianity, only to find out years later that they were active in SA and harboring perpetrators from their own family #exvangelical #ExvangelicalGrief
