you are correct here in america there is no such diagnostic labeling called religious trauma syndrome. trauma caused by ones religion is treated in the same way as trauma caused by any other type of trauma (physical, sexual, emotional) this is because the problems that come from being traumatized in ones religion can and does happen with in any other traumatic situation...nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, depression,....

when I was in a situation where someone was abusing me under the premise of religion what helped me was taking a break from all religions, therapy, meds for the anxiety and other symptoms, then when i was ready I researched various religions until i found one I was happy with.
Thanks for this!
