At Invisible Hurts, we believe that healing begins when people are met with curiosity instead of judgment and compassion instead of criticism. Every person has a story. Every wound has a reason. Sometimes the most healing words we can offer are simply, “Tell me what happened.” ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

These are examples of spiritual abuse – even if what is said is a quote from the Bible, even if ‘submission’ and ‘obedience’ are in a general sense virtues, it is the twisting of good things in order to do harm and have control/power over another that is so disturbing about this kind of abuse.
