Rebuilding trust, connection, and hope after spiritual trauma 
 
Too often the institutions and communities that are meant to be the most holy in our lives end up deeply hurting us. Religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and faith-based wounds can leave lasting scars that impact every aspect of our lives. 
 
In Holy Hurt, award-winning clinical psychologist Hillary L. McBride delivers a profound message: spiritual trauma is real, widespread, and has far-reaching consequences. More importantly, she provides hope and practical guidance for those seeking healing from religious trauma and spiritual abuse. You'll discover 
 
● evidence-based healing strategies rooted in clinical research and trauma therapy techniques; 
● real stories of recovery from survivors of spiritual abuse and religious trauma; 
● practices at the end of each chapter designed to support your healing journey; 
● expert insights from leading trauma therapists, spiritual abuse counselors, and recovery specialists; and 
● tools for prevention to help create healthier faith communities and protect against spiritual manipulation. 
 
McBride expertly combines clinical research, trauma literature, and compelling interviews with experts to create a comprehensive guide for spiritual trauma recovery. Each chapter includes first-person accounts of healing and practices to help readers process their experiences and begin their journey toward wholeness. 
 
This essential resource empowers trauma survivors, family members, clergy, counselors, and anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of spiritual abuse. Whether you're healing from religious trauma, supporting someone who has experienced it, or working to prevent it in faith communities, Holy Hurt offers the clinical expertise and compassionate guidance you need.

    There is an increased risk of injury in people with epilepsy. 
Seizures can present as a sudden fall, blank stare, confusion, uncontrolled movements, diminished awareness, odd sensations, a convulsion, or laboured breathing. 
For some people with epilepsy, their seizures pose a minimal risk of injury. For others, their seizures may require extra precaution to avoid injury. For example, seizures that occur without warning, involve falls, loss of awareness, or confusion after the seizure could result in injury. Precautions may be necessary depending on the activity. 
Assessing the risks associated with the type and frequency of the seizures may require implementing safety procedures.

Through the perspectives of eccentric investors like Michael Burry and Steve Eisman, Lewis explores the complex financial instruments, such as subprime mortgages and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), that fueled the crisis. The book highlights the recklessness and ignorance of Wall Street insiders, offering a critical look at the systemic failures and the moral hazards that led to one of the most significant financial disasters in history.
