About this listen

When the truth about abuse in spiritual settings comes to light, anger is inevitable. But what does it mean to feel it fully?

In Episode Three of Descent Into Light, “The Courage to Be Angry,” Sr. Theresa Aletheia confronts the storm of emotions that followed learning about abuse within her community. What began as fear and confusion gradually gave way to anger—a stage of grief often misunderstood, especially in spiritual contexts.

This episode explores:

Why anger is a crucial and healthy part of healing from spiritual abuse

* How betrayal trauma and moral injury can disrupt faith, trust, and identity

* The subtle ways victim-blaming can compound harm in religious communities

* Why confronting institutional failure is necessary for real accountability and safety
