Mistreatment, or psychic abuse, within the church refers to spiritual abuse, which involves a leader or institution controlling or manipulating individuals through their faith, often leading to emotional and psychological harm. This type of abuse is characterized by tactics such as misuse of scripture to enforce obedience, enforced secrecy, shaming, scare tactics about God's love, pressure to conform, and isolation from external support systems. It can also include spiritual exploitation and the suggestion that the abuser holds a "divine" position.
Characteristics of Spiritual Abuse:
Manipulation and Coercion:
Using spiritual language or beliefs to control another's decisions, actions, and thoughts.
Misuse of Authority:
Leaders may claim a "divine" position or present themselves as having special divine authority to justify their actions.
Exploitation:
Forcing or pressuring individuals to give excessive money, time, or resources.
Emotional and Psychic Attacks:
This includes shaming, belittling, scare tactics, and psychological manipulation.
Secrecy and Silence:
Enforcing silence about the abuse or requiring secrecy to protect the institution or the abuser.
Enforced Conformity and Obedience:
Pressuring members to adhere to specific beliefs or practices and to obey the abuser without question.
Isolation:
Discouraging or preventing individuals from seeking support or advice from anyone outside the abusive spiritual context.
Impact on Individuals:
Spiritual abuse can lead to significant emotional and psychological distress.
Victims may experience profound guilt, shame, and self-doubt.
The experience can lead to a crisis of faith, making it difficult for the individual to trust their own discernment or God.
Examples of Spiritual Abuse:
Using scripture to condemn those who don't conform to the leader's rules.
Pressuring someone to stay in an abusive relationship due to religious beliefs about marriage.
Threatening that God will withdraw love or punish someone for disobeying church leaders or rules.
Forcing members to hand over large sums of money they can't afford.
How to Address Spiritual Abuse:
Recognize the signs: Be aware of the patterns of control, manipulation, and coercion.
Seek external support: Talk to trusted friends, family, or professionals outside the church community.
Understand the dynamic: Realize that spiritual abuse is a form of psychological control, not a reflection of the victim's spiritual weakness.

Manipulation: Using guilt, threats, or other tactics to control someone.
Emotional neglect: Failing to provide the emotional support or care that someone needs.
How to respond to psychological ill-treatment:
If you or someone you know is experiencing psychological ill-treatment, consider taking the following steps:
