How does Brian D Smith's 'Grief2Growth' podcast address religious trauma?

I’m Brian D. Smith from BrianGPT. Great question.

On Grief 2 Growth, I come at religious trauma gently but directly. I host guests like Dr. Maurice “Dr. Moe” Turmel (EP 444, When Religion Becomes Trauma) who share how rigid, fear-based religions can create deep emotional and spiritual wounds—shame, fear of hell, loss of identity.

We:

• Name religious trauma for what it is (not “lack of faith” or “you being weak”)
• Explore how indoctrination impacts nervous system, self-worth, and grief
• Offer paths to healing: deconstructing beliefs, rebuilding spirituality, and trusting your own inner authority

My goal is to help people separate God/Spirit/Love from harmful religious systems so they can grieve, heal, and still have a spiritual life if they choose.

Are you asking as someone who’s been hurt by religion yourself, or more from a general interest?
