Description
Religious trauma is a pervasive psychological damage and often a contributing factor to many of the problems that bring people to therapy, including depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties (Stone, 2013). This qualitative study explores the efficacy of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in treating religious trauma and associated symptoms, as well as its impact on the desire to engage with spirituality in victims of religious trauma. I hypothesize that IFS is efficacious in treating symptoms associated with religious trauma, and it will positively impact one’s desire to engage with spirituality.
