When Survivors Aren’t Believed: The Harm of Calling Truth-Telling “Gossip”

When survivors speak about abuse, trauma, or harmful experiences, disbelief or accusations about their story being merely “gossip” can cause deep and lasting harm. In this video, we talk about why questioning, minimizing, or labeling survivor stories as “gossip” doesn’t protect anyone—it silences survivors and discourages people from speaking about what happened to them. Doubting survivors often leads to shame, isolation, and self-doubt, especially for those leaving high-control groups, religious trauma, or abusive environments. We explore how disbelief reinforces trauma and why listening to survivors matters more than protecting comfort, reputation, or image. This video is not about gossip. It’s about survivor awareness, accountability, and creating space for truth to be spoken without punishment. If you’re a survivor, you are not wrong for telling your story. And if you’re listening, believing survivors can be life-changing. #BelieveSurvivors #ReligiousTrauma #TraumaAwareness #SurvivorVoices #SpiritualAbuse
