Religious Trauma and Cults Support Groups

RTC Peer Support Groups

Australia & New Zealand
WHO ARE THESE GROUPS FOR?

Our support groups are for anyone experiencing religious trauma or cultic harm, regardless of their faith background or stage in their recovery journey. This includes people navigating the emotional, relational, and identity impacts of leaving or questioning a religion, dealing with spiritual abuse, high-control environments and cults, or faith-based pressure and guilt.

The groups are designed to provide a safe, supportive, and understanding space where you can share experiences, feel validated, and connect with others who truly get what it’s like to live through the complex aftermath of religious harm.

Sitting With The Big Questions - When you're deconstructing, the really big questions linger: What about hell? Why suffering? Am I really broken? These questions can feel overwhelming and isolating. This group is for people working through the existential questions that arise when your belief system shifts. Supporting you to sit with the uncertainty, process what these questions mean to you now, and exploring their impact on how you're rebuilding meaning.
