About this episode

Cendrine Hosoda shares her journey of overcoming spiritual manipulation and abuse within an evangelical church, emphasizing healing and forgiveness.

Friends, In this episode Trauma-informed consultant and Neurosomatic Intelligence Practitioner Cendrine Hosoda shares her story of growing up in an evangelical church community in Switzerland where her father, a respected church elder, used Scripture and spiritual authority to control and manipulate his family. With courage and honesty, Cendrine reflects on what it was like to live inside a faith environment shaped by narcissis, and the long journey toward reclaiming her voice, her body, and her relationship with God. This conversation does not seek to sensationalize suffering. Instead, it offers hope that even in the presence of deep betrayal, healing and grace are possible. As Scripture reminds us in 1 Peter 2:19: "For whenever anyone bears the pain of unjust suffering because of consciousness of God, that is a grace." If you or someone you love has experienced spiritual manipulation, religious trauma, or abuse within a faith context, this conversation offers both validation and a path toward healing.
