Welcome!Welcome to your source for Professional Help for Spiritual Abuse Victims. The church has long been a source of contention and strain in the lives of many people. Unfortunately, bad church experiences cause a chain reaction that if left unchecked will lead to a crisis of faith and may eventually lead to cynicism and a denial of faith. Many people grow up in homes influenced by negative and often harmful messages about spirituality. It's actually quite sad because the church should be a safe haven for people to run to during times of distress. Now, for many, the church has become an enemy, an abuser who's call sign is manipulation, doctrinal errancy, and scriptural misinterpretations that lead to confusion and chaos. The church has become a place where performance takes precedence over grace and traditions are a priority over proper exegesis. There is much shame, guilt, anger and confusion surrounding spiritual abuse recovery and many people suffer in silence having no where to turn and one to talk to. People who are struggling spiritually and who are hungry for answers and healing have few places to turn since the one place they should be able to turn to was the very source of their abuse. There is hope, however. My name is Brandon Santan and I'm a counselor specializing in Spiritual Abuse Recovery. I know what it's like. I was in a spiritually abusive environment for over 25 years which resulted in a roller coaster ride of emotions and crisis of faith. Never in my life have I experienced the grace of God like I did when I found out the truth regarding the spiritual abuse I had experienced. Today, after almost 8 years of recovery and healing, I hold a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling and I specialize in Spiritual Abuse Recovery. My passion is to share my story and help those who have been hurt by the church, heal and experience the truth about who they are in Christ. Click Here to read more about what Spiritual Abuse is.
