Spiritual Gaslighting: When God's Name Was Used Against You | Psalm 35 & 121
You were told that what you felt wasn't real. That your perception was sin. That your discernment was rebellion. And they said God was backing them up.
In this episode, Elisha — counselor, author, and founder of Restoring You Christian Counseling — walks you through what spiritual gaslighting actually is, how it hijacks your nervous system, and how Psalm 35 and Psalm 121 offer both divine justice and a path back to yourself.
We will cover:
✦ What spiritual gaslighting looks like in church and family systems
✦ The somatic effects of having your discernment repeatedly denied
✦ Psalm 35 — God as the one who fights for the falsely accused Psalm 121 — your help comes from the Lord, not the institution
✦ The R.E.S.T. Framework applied to spiritual abuse recovery ✦ A guided somatic practice for reclaiming your voice ✦ An extended prayer for those still in the in-between
✦ A 7-Day Voice Recovery Challenge
📖 Scriptures: Psalm 35:1, 11, 19 | Psalm 121:1–8
