Religious Trauma
What’s On Your Mind? Heart? Spirit?
Are you a survivor of abuse or trauma perpetrated by your religious or spiritual community?
Did a former partner use spiritual beliefs as a way to control you? Or did you realize you used spiritual beliefs to oppress others?
Have you been taught to spiritually bypass your trauma through beliefs and practices that are no longer serving you?
How We Can Work Together
Let’s create a safe space together for you to process your experience and decide for yourself how to redefine and reclaim your connection to yourself and your spirituality that include your whole self without bypassing the parts that need care and attention. I encourage a collaboration to help you determine for yourself what right relationship is to spirituality.
Words of Wisdom
““Spiritual work and psychological work are both necessary to reclaim our true nature. Without psychological strength, spiritual practice can easily become another addictive distraction from reality. Conversely, shorn of a spiritual perspective we are prone to stay stuck in the limited realm of the grasping ego, even if it’s a healthier and more balanced ego.”
