The positive changes you experience after surviving religious trauma
You begin to reclaim your voice, values, and purpose after leaving a controlling group.
You find deeper empathy for others and become a source of support for those still healing.
Potential clinical implications (especially in high control settings)
Resilience and self-trust may emerge after long-term struggle.
A sense of purpose may develop through helping others in similar situations.
A new spiritual or philosophical path may align more closely with personal values.
