The Coercive Church is a compassionate, trauma-informed guide for survivors of religious abuse, spiritual coercion, and toxic theology. Whether you grew up in a high-control faith community, were shamed for asking questions, or lived under the threat of damnation and rejection, this workbook helps you begin the sacred work of healing.
Inside, you’ll find:
Clear definitions of coercive religious tactics and how they impact the nervous system, identity, and self-trust
Guided journal prompts to help you reclaim your inner voice and spiritual autonomy
Tools for setting boundaries, unlearning internalized shame, and navigating triggers
Reflections on decolonizing the soul and restoring connection to the sacred on your own terms
Support for reconnecting with your body, intuition, and spiritual imagination—without fear
This is not about giving up on faith. It’s about recovering your ability to think, feel, and believe (if you choose) freely. It’s about moving from spiritual fear to sacred freedom.
Whether you're just beginning to question or deep into the work of deconstruction, The Coercive Church helps you walk through the process of healing.
