Both emotional and spiritual abuse are powerful forms of manipulation that often happen gradually and are many times not recognized until later in a relationship. Sometimes spiritual abuse will happen at the hands of a revered church leader or inside a group that has become your community. Emotional and spiritual abuse effects can also create great confusion as mental games are played and you can wonder if you are the one who is in the wrong. Do you stay or go? Do you set limits? Do you expose those who have who have used their authority over you to control you? In therapy we will explore your questions and consider steps for regaining your independence.
