In this episode, we talk honestly about what happens after you leave: the guilt trips, the confusion, the pressure, and the challenges of co‑parenting with someone who still uses control as a tool. We unpack how to protect your peace, recognize subtle manipulation, support your kids, and respond with wisdom instead of getting pulled back into old patterns. We also explore the role of discernment, the Holy Spirit, and the yogic principle of Ahimsa in creating boundaries that honor both truth and non‑harm. If you’re rebuilding your life after spiritual trauma, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Takeaways

  • Setting boundaries after leaving an abusive relationship
  • Recognizing manipulation tactics of abusers

Many women experiencing narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, and coercive control in Christian marriages don’t recognize it as abuse at first—especially when it’s framed as “biblical” or “God’s will.”

In this episode, we explore:

• What spiritual abuse looks like in Christian marriage

• Real-life examples of scripture being misused to control and silence

• How narcissistic abuse can hide behind faith language

• Why so many Christian women feel trapped, confused, or ashamed

• The beginning of recognizing truth and reclaiming your voice

If you are a Christian woman healing from narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, or spiritual manipulation, this episode is for you.

You are not crazy.

You are not overreacting.

And you are not alone.

This episode also ends with a short grounding practice to help regulate your nervous system if this topic feels activating or overwhelming.

Your healing matters. Your safety matters. And your life has value in God’s eyes.
