“Our bodies tell stories, and sometimes they tell the story of the spaces that hurt us.”

We sat down with Dr. Hillary McBride , author of Holy Hurt, for an unforgettable book club discussion on healing from spiritual trauma and religious abuse. From reclaiming our personal agency to the power of communal healing and “theological remixing,” this conversation is a breath of fresh air for anyone navigating life after high-control religion.
