Psyche examines faith crises as psychological and spiritual ruptures, particularly when they involve manipulation, cultic dynamics, or systematic disillusionment. The show treats these experiences not as mere doubt but as transformative (often painful) reckonings that force a person to rebuild their beliefs and identity from the ground up.
Spiritual abuse is the use of spiritual authority, belief systems, or sacred texts to manipulate, control, or harm individuals—often within hierarchical religious or spiritual communities.
