"The Bible Belt is a region of the Southern United States in which socially conservativeProtestantChristianity plays a strong role in society and politics, and church attendance across the denominations is generally higher than the nation's average." [1]
Growing up in the the Bible Belt can lead the development of religious trauma syndrome (RTS).
"Religious Trauma Syndrome is often caused for different reasons for different people. Many people experience RTS as a result from an authoritarian religion or faith community. Individuals suffering from RTS may be struggling with black and white thinking, irrational beliefs, difficulty trusting oneself, low self-esteem, or feeling indebted to a group of people. Skewed views of sex, discipline, emotional regulation, relationships, and self-expression are usually present in toxic religious environments." [2]
