Heather Hester talks about religious trauma, the difference between faith and religion, and how people raised in high-control systems don't always know what questions to ask about their own upbringing.

I, my goal is to help you understand some of this other stuff and maybe help you hone in on what it means for you to have faith, you know?
Well, and is a piece of that really kind of pulling apart the difference between having faith and being religious?
For some it can be, yeah. Especially when we're talking about that high control religious piece.
Mm-hmm.
Because people oftentimes, you know, when you're raised in in something, and it doesn't even have to be religion, but when you're raised in something from birth, oftentimes you don't even know what to ask.
Oh, absolutely. Because you— I mean, it's such an overstated saying, but it's for a reason. You don't know what you don't know. Yes. Yeah.
