This short book covers some aspects of what it describes as "Religious Trauma Syndrome," including an explanation of the kinds of psychological and physiological damage that evangelical Christianity can do to those raised in it, and an overview of PTSD and how it affects the brain and body. The author admits the book was written in a hurry, and that shows. As such, it's more an introduction to the topic than an in-depth exploration of it, and it's unfortunately in severe need of better editing/proofreading. Those limitations aside, this book helped me get clarity on some of my own experiences in the evangelical tradition, and it has the potential to help many others as well.

"Rooted in her experiences growing up in an Evangelical Christian family, Jamie Lee Finch's "You Are Your Own" offers an overview of Evangelicalism and the painful confusion and anxiety experienced under its demands. Finch explores the mechanisms of trauma and how fundamentalist denominations match the patterns connected with PTSD. She elaborates on the doubt, guilt, fear, and grief that haunt those leaving the Evangelical faith and offers an approach to help them recover healthy self-worth and resilience. A socio-historical analysis of Evangelical Christianity's religious trauma, "You Are Your Own" emerges from Finch's reconnaissance on her own life--her journals, her stories, her trauma--and offers advocacy for everyone harmed by fundamentalist faith"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
