Religious trauma… if you know what it means to believe that your heart is deceitful, your mind fallen, your emotions dangerous, and your body sinful because of the feedback from your faith system then you can relate to the backdrop behind what religious trauma survivors are dismantling through their healing journey. Detangling dehumanizing beliefs from our psyche is hard work. If you have learned to not truly trust yourself, you probably know what it feels like to not give yourself permission to identify the truth found in your thoughts, feelings, and physical responses. The work I do is help you identify and navigate the tension.
Working with a religious trauma therapist is not just confronting religious beliefs with a therapist in the room. My focus is on helping you secure safety in your sense of self rather than effectively recalibrating or persuading the mind. Dehumanization needs humanization to heal so reconnecting you with your body, intuition, and identity is more the goal.
I lean on a combination of Person-Centered, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, ACT, Narrative Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. All of this just means I will approach our time together with hope, acceptance, and curiosity while bringing science and research to the healing process. These approaches have meant so much to me and I hope they will you too.
