Author: Clare Corado | Speaking on Religious Trauma, Spiritual Abuse, and Leaving High Demand Religions for Exvanegelical, ExCatholic, ExMormon, Ex Jehovah's Witness Women October 22, 2025 Duration: 12:59
Have you ever been told “your body is a temple” in a way that left you feeling ashamed, restricted, or disconnected from yourself? For many of us, this is part of our religious trauma. If you’re healing from high-control religion, rules about modesty, purity, and appearance can linger as anxiety, scrupulosity, and disconnection from your own desires.

For women navigating the complex and often painful journey of leaving high-demand religions, Brainwash Be Gone! offers a dedicated space for deconstruction and healing. Host Clare Corado speaks directly to the experiences of Exvangelicals, Exmormons, Recovering Catholics, and former Jehovah’s Witnesses, focusing on the specific spiritual abuse and religious trauma that can linger long after leaving. This podcast moves beyond broad generalizations, instead dedicating each concise fifteen-minute episode to examining a single, ingrained rule or teaching from a high-control background. The aim is a practical, focused unpacking of that conditioning, providing listeners with clear insights to challenge internalized beliefs. By systematically addressing these fragments of doctrine, the show empowers women to consciously let go of harmful patterns and rebuild a sense of self on their own terms. It’s a resource for those seeking to understand the mechanics of their past indoctrination and actively craft a freer, more authentic future. New episodes are released twice weekly, creating a consistent rhythm of support and reflection for anyone reclaiming their life after religious trauma.
