About

The Forgotten Self is a groundbreaking exploration of spiritual abuse and its profound impact on identity, self-trust, and personal freedom. Drawing from over 15 years of trauma expertise and original research, this book sheds light on one of the most overlooked and deeply wounding forms of psychological and spiritual harm—the kind that severs individuals from their own inner knowing.

For those who have felt the weight of religious control, the fear of questioning, or the pain of losing themselves within institutionalized faith, this book offers both clarity and a path forward. It reveals how spiritual abuse distorts one’s sense of self, why breaking free feels so daunting, and how true healing begins—not by finding answers outside, but by rediscovering the wisdom, strength, and love already within.

With research-based insights, real-life narratives, and a compassionate approach to healing, The Forgotten Self empowers readers to deconstruct harmful beliefs, heal from religious trauma, and reclaim their own spirituality—free from fear and manipulation.

You were never meant to live in fear. You were never meant to seek approval outside yourself. The truth is, you have never been lost. You have only been disconnected from the self you were always meant to be.

It’s time to Remember Who You Truly Are.

“The Forgotten Self combines intellectual rigor with heartfelt narrative, offering readers a window into both the process and the results of the research study. I am confident that Dr. Carr’s work through this book will continue to make positive changes to people affected by the Evangelical Christian Church and experience spiritual abuse.”

“The Forgotten Self is a book for anyone struggling to find themselves again, or for the first time, while recovering from spiritual abuse. As a survivor of high control religion, I can attest that fellow religious refugees will find Dr. Carr’s work helpful and healing.”
