PTSD caused by religion
|
Do you know a case of someone suffering of PTSD because of religion, even after leaving said religion and having no doubt that there is no Hell or that any other bullshit is bullshit? What if the simple view of a cross or a burqa are triggers? How do they handle it?

PTSD is a natural psychological disorder, but yea if the person who suffers from it has been deeply indoctrinated in religion, religion can certainly make the PTSD worse.

Google "Complex PTSD". It does not take a major trauma to manifest PTSD. I can be from a pervasive pattern of psychological or emotional abuse, amongst other things. 
PTSD??
not really. Stockholm Syndrome? Quite possible.

While many in the public often think of PTSD as solely being seeing violence, be it war or crime, it can also be from verbal/emotional abuse too. 
I don't know if you could call it PTSD, but during my Catholic upbringing I was subjected to an almost continual existence of fear, anxiety, depression and guilt. I did not feel truly liberated until I was in my early 30's and realized I was an atheist.

Ironically there are a lot of ptsd support offer for those leaving the lgbtq community inside and outside the church. I also know Mormons and Scientologists also have a large support system for people leaving them. |
