“One Tree Hill”<\/a> star Bethany Joy Lenz says she suffered “spiritual abuse” during the 10 years she spent in a cult.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old told People magazine that she went through “lots of therapy” after getting away from the unidentified cult, which she said overlapped with her time on the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Recovery looks different for everyone, depending on your experience of trauma,” she said in an interview published this week. “I had to start from a baseline of my personal understanding of God and the experiences I had had. And then there was a lot of going back to who I was before and remembering that, and then acknowledging that there was so much I just didn\u2019t know.”<\/p>\n

The “Strawberries” singer is writing a memoir, which she said has been “painful” but purposeful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m a writer at heart, so turning a phrase is easy for me. Exploring the memories, and really facing them, can be challenging \u2014 but I\u2019m doing it,” the actress told the magazine. “There\u2019s a lot to tell.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lenz has previously spoken about her time in a cult<\/a> without going into too many specifics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She discussed the possibility of writing about her experience<\/a> during her “Drama Queens” podcast with former costars Hilarie Burton Morgan and Sophia Bush last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I was in a cult for 10 years. That would be a really valuable experience to write about, she said. “And the recovery \u2014 10 years of recovery after that.”<\/p>\n

But she said she felt pressure to “get it right” if she were to put pen to paper about her experience.<\/p>\n

“And also I don\u2019t know how much I can say,” she added, “because there are still people and legal things in place that make it more complicated for the timing of that.”<\/p>\n

While she didn\u2019t go into any more detail on the podcast, Lenz shared an Instagram post in May, reflecting on how theologian and preacher Tim Keller helped her through a dark time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This man changed my life,” she wrote after his May 19 death. “The only reason I\u2019m still a Christian today is because, 10 years ago, after many years of faith being used against me as a tool of manipulation, Tim Keller taught me how to\u00a0re-build my faith\u00a0using reason and logic. A belief system that fully engages my mind while still leaving room for wonder and mystery.”<\/p>\n

She said because of Keller she is more “confident and secure” in her faith than she ever was and was able to “trust again and fall in love with a Jesus I never knew.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
