Why do we say belief system and not religion? Because you may have never considered yourself religious. Any organization or doctrine can unwittingly harm its members. Many struggle with the same PTSD-like symptoms of Religious Trauma Syndrome when they leave.

 

While Dare to Doubt is primarily a religious and spiritual recovery site, we sympathize with anyone who knows the grief of losing a community when beliefs change. It is our sincerest hope that you find support. Get started by searching resources specific to your background here. You can also visit our Cults, Crisis Care, and Mental Health pages.
