Speaker on Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP) argues that therapists should not feel obligated to TREAD lightly on religion-based trauma. Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS) is a function of both the chronic abuses of harmful religion and the impact of severing one's connection with one's faith and faith community. SEE V62.89 (Z65.8) Religious or Spiritual Problem DSM V)

I'm glad to see this issue being addressed, even if it's a fledgling area of focus.

TRS is not officially recongized as a psycological condition. With delusions there is an exception reguarding religions. So no matter how delusional one is concerning religion they can not get a diagonosis for hyper religiousosity.
Here is how it affected me as a child and how this over site almost got me killed.

You put it most well when you say "a chronic dependence on an imaginary friend".
This brought to mind...how my early indoctrination of the Baptist Religion help enslave me, at a time that I needed to care for my own well-being! I was able to bring my thinking about religion to my therapist and that changed me over time. Eventually, I existed religion all together, not because I was told to do so...I evolved out of it! But, my discussions about religion with my therapist made all the difference, as I have known no other place that I could bare my innards, and not be judged!
