The study examines the effects of conversion practices, known as conversion therapy, and their impact on survivors. It highlights the need for survivor support, especially in New Zealand, where such practices are now criminalized. Using qualitative research, the study interviewed 23 survivors of religious conversion practices. It identified three key discourses: the harm of conversion practices framed as spiritual abuse, the coercive nature of spiritual abuse, and the need for a pipeline of support for those entrapped. The study calls for holistic, survivor-centric responses to address the complex needs of survivors.
