“Connie’s personal journey,  extensive training and professional experience has equipped her to speak knowledgeably and compassionately on the subject of spiritual abuse.

Most helpful for me in the seminar I attended was the discussion of characteristics by which we identify spiritual abuse.  This kind of abuse is often subtle and confusing, unrecognized by the victim.  The course gave me power to begin the process of healing and emotional freedom through understanding the nature and outcomes of spiritual abuse.

If you have had painful experiences with those in spiritual leadership over you,  I highly recommend Religious Abuse Recovery Essentials Course.”

“I grew up in church from the age of 1. We were at church all the time. Active in AWANA, sang in the choir, Summer camps, youth group, Bible studies….AND I had a very dysfunctional home where my Dad was abusive and violent. Power and control were always a part of my life….NEVER did I realize how power in the church could be abusive. Connie’s workshops have been amazing at cracking open my denial and/or ignorance of how I have even been affected personally. The powerlessness feeling and overwhelming sense of obligation/guilt/submission that has driven me …. and the inability to have a strong voice, because I didn’t want to be seen as divisive…among many other awarenesses, were my big walk aways. I fell prey to church abuse….but only knew it to be normal. Connie’s workshops were personally eye opening!”
