Anna Clark Miller

Anna Clark Miller is an author, trainer, and licensed professional counselor who is dedicated to helping survivors heal from religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and high-control groups. She's also the founder and owner of Empathy Paradigm, an organization that provides vital resources to survivors and professionals working with religious trauma.

Anna's recovery work is rooted in her own lived experience. After being born and raised in a high-control religious group, Anna spent years working in fundamentalist organizations before recognizing the signs of religious trauma in her own life. Her personal journey of healing from institutional harm is the wellspring for work.

Anna's writing, training, and counseling center survivors' experiences connected to beliefs, practices, or systems that were disempowering and harmful. Her publications are firmly rooted in the growing body of research on religious harm and high-control groups. Anna's contributions are guided by core values of empathy, curiosity, and autonomy, and she takes a religiously neutral approach, focusing on each individual's right to think for themselves and pursue healing on their own terms.
