Taking Ourselves Back: Identity, Voice, and Healing Beyond Spiritual Abuse
Details
Last Week Celebrating 2026 Spiritual Abuse Awareness Month!!!
Spiritual abuse doesn’t just distort belief systems — it disrupts identity, silences voices, and fractures self-trust. For many Black survivors, harmful spiritual spaces dictated who we were allowed to be, how we were allowed to speak, and what parts of ourselves had to be suppressed in the name of obedience, respect, or faith.
Taking ourselves back is not about becoming someone new. It’s about reclaiming what was taken — our voice, our agency, our intuition, and our right to exist beyond spiritual control.
This is a space for Black religious and spiritual abuse survivors to reflect on life after harm and explore what healing looks like when we center autonomy instead of obedience.
If you are learning how to trust yourself again, speak with clarity, and live beyond fear or obligation — this space is for you. Healing is not about going back. It’s about moving forward with self-ownership and dignity.
See you on January 29th, at 7pm EST
