It is likely that you have accessed these resources on Spiritual Abuse for one of three reasons:

• You have experienced Spiritual Abuse, coercive control in a religious setting
• You are supporting a family member who has experienced Spiritual Abuse
• You are supporting someone professionally who has experienced Spiritual Abuse

The aim of these resources is to give you as much information as possible to help you understand what has been experienced, how it may impact on you (or the person you are supporting) and to empower you (or the person you are supporting) to take steps on your (their) journey to lessen the impact.

Whilst these resources are written from the perspective of those who have experienced spiritual abuse it is important that we understand that no person’s experience or the impact of that experience is going to be the same. Each person’s response to their experience is also going to differ. We have therefore drawn on a wide range of experiences, faiths and cultural backgrounds. We have also drawn on messages from research around experience, impact and the journey to lessen the impact of spiritual abuse.
