Have you ever felt like God was against you? The truth is that He is for you, but spiritual abuse can for sure make it feel like He's not. Hear more on Monday's all-new episode of Hey Tabi.
Episode is live Monday, 01 June 2026 on all major podcast platforms & The Journey and The Process YouTube channel.
When spiritual abuse, unhealthy church systems, or high-control religious environments cause harm, it can leave people feeling as though God Himself is against them. In this powerful short clip, therapist Tabitha Westbrook explains why disentangling God's character from harmful experiences takes time, healing, and support.
She explores how dysfunctional systems, unresolved trauma in leadership, and unhealthy power structures can create wounds that feel spiritual in nature—even though they reflect something very different from the heart of God.
If you've struggled with church hurt, religious trauma, spiritual abuse, or questions about faith after painful experiences, this conversation offers insight and hope.
Watch the full episode on Monday for a deeper discussion about healing from religious trauma, rebuilding trust, and understanding the difference between God and unhealthy systems.
