Some years later he felt that putting together a workbook to facilitate a person\'s Recovery after leaving one of these groups would be a helpful tool.
Subsequently, he was contacted by numerous people, as they had been dealing with Spiritual and emotional fallout from various spiritually abusive groups.
In the mid-1990\'s, the author David Henke , wrote an article profiling Spiritual abuse.
To make matters worse, to leave the group, carries with it, severed relationships and deep emotional wounds. "How could (or why did) He let this happen to me?" Sadly, there are many people that have found themselves trapped within a spiritually abusive group.
Besides an unhealthy fear of, and disillusionment with, Spiritual authorities, the spiritually abused person may find it difficult to trust even God.
Sometimes the wound is so deep that the wounded person cannot trust even a legitimate Spiritual authority again.
When such trust is violated, the wound is very deep.
Since a very high level of trust is often placed in Spiritual leaders, it is, and ought to be, expected that the trust will be honored and guarded.
Spiritual Abuse has a devastating effect on people.
Healthy groups are also identified as the author helps the reader move on from the abuse.
Both Legalism and Mind Control are explored and identified as tools often used to oppress people.
He takes the reader on a tour of what Spiritual Abuse is, who are the abusers, as well as the makeup of who are frequently among the abused.
