What happens when the place meant to nurture your Soul becomes the source of your deepest wound?

The Forgotten Self is a groundbreaking study exploring how spiritual abuse,

religious trauma, emotional suppression,

and fear-based doctrine rupture a person's identity and sever their most sacred connection to God, to meaning, and to the Self.

Drawing from neuroscience, trauma theory, and lived stories of survivors, clinical psychologist Dr. Cristy S. Carr reveals how spiritual abuse fractures identity, rewires the nervous system, and disrupts one's ability to trust, love, and feel safe within their own inner world.

Through compassionate insight and evidence-based research, she helps readers understand the hidden impact of religious trauma, Divine Attachment wounds, spiritual performance and years of fear-driven faith.

With tenderness and clarity, Dr. Carr guides readers through the grief of spiritual exile, the confusion of deconstruction, and the reconstruction of a faith rooted not in fear-but in Love, agency, and inner truth.

Whether you are healing from evangelical trauma, questioning long-held beliefs, or longing to reconnect with God after harm, The Forgotten Self offers a path back to wholeness.

You are not broken.

You are not lost.

You are a Beautiful Soul, Deeply Loved.

And your Soul remembers the way home.
