Spiritual Abuse Workshop
Through the Scriptures, Tradition, liturgies, and devotions, people can encounter the living Christ and experience his love, healing, and freedom.
But what happens when the women and men in the Church who are tasked with teaching doctrine, preaching God’s word, or presiding over the sacraments, do so with carelessness or coercion? What harm is done when the place of healing becomes a source of harm?
I’m a professional counselor who previously worked for eight years as the Director of Religious Education at a Catholic parish. I provide counseling for those who have been spiritually abused and create resources for Church leaders to better safeguard their communities against abuse.
Join me for an online workshop focused on recognizing, preventing, and responding to spiritual abuse in the Catholic Church.
This is five-part live workshop that will be held virtually. Groups will have between 5 and 12 participants and space will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. All workshops are currently sold out, but I plan on scheduling more throughout the year. Subscribe for free to Third Space to be notified when the next workshop opens up.
This workshop is for:
Individuals trying to better understand their experiences of spiritual abuse in the Church
Clergy and lay leaders interested in safeguarding their communities from spiritual abuse and abuse of conscience
Therapists or spiritual directors working with clients who have been spiritually abused
This workshop will help you:
Recognize and prevent spiritual abuse and abuse of conscience in the Church
Know the symptoms of spiritual abuse, religious trauma, and moral injury
Better understand and respond to abusive systems in the Church
