In part one, we explore the experience of growing up in a high-control religious environment and the painful process of questioning long-held beliefs. It looks at the grief, loss, and identity upheaval that follow leaving a faith community, and how stepping away is just the beginning of rebuilding a sense of self and meaning.

In the episode, we mention a charity called 'Faith to Faithless'. You can find them by clicking on the following link. https://www.faithtofaithless.com

In part two, we will look to equip mental health professionals with insight into the unique grief and trauma experienced by those leaving coercive religious systems, integrating theories of grief with trauma-informed and spiritually sensitive care.

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked dimensions of grief connected to chronic health issues, offering insights and tools for counsellors and therapists. Unlike grief following death, chronic illness grief is ongoing, layered, and frequently invisible, encompassing losses of identity, autonomy, relationships, and future goals and plans. We discuss the emotional and relational complexities clients may face, from navigating ambiguous and disenfranchised losses to managing shifting roles within families and communities.

In this episode we explore the concept of moral injury (is that phrase new to you? it was to us too!), which can really amplify grief, and how this can be self-inflicted, or inflicted by those around the bereaved person.
