Therapy for Religious Trauma
Religious trauma can deeply impact an individual’s sense of self-worth, identity, and authenticity, often leading to feelings of guilt, shame, confusion, and more. At Grounded Wellbeing, we have therapists who understand the unique challenges folks face at the intersection of the identities you hold and your experiences within religion. With empathy and expertise, we specialize in helping you navigate the complex emotions that arise from harmful religious experiences. Together, we will collaborate to explore healing that affirms your identities while respecting parts of your spiritual history that may feel helpful. Using a holistic and client-centered approach, we provide a supportive environment where we can explore your experiences, address harmful religious narratives, and work towards rebuilding a positive sense of self. Whether you’re no longer religious and exploring life after the church, looking to maintain your identities within your faith community, or somewhere in between, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Our goal is to empower you to find your voice, explore and embrace your identities, and heal from harmful religious experiences.. By integrating therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs, we will work collaboratively to help you find inner peace, self-acceptance, and the confidence to live authentically. Together, we will foster a path to recovery that honors your journey and celebrates your strength.
Interventions you can expect while navigating religious trauma recovery are reclaiming, parts work, processing the impact of purity culture, creating new community, and exploring and asserting your autonomy.
