Read MoreWe’ve all been concerned by the recent pandemic, political upset, and now the war being waged by Russia against the Ukraine – but for those of us who grew up in fundamentalist religious homes, these issues can be deeply triggering because we were trained to interpret such events to mean that the end of the world (apocalypse, Armageddon) is at hand.
