Well this is quite disturbing information I just found out about. #Northview Community #Church is #antiLGBTQ. And this really hits hard cause I actually know family members that attend this church. Gonna try to convince them to switch to another church in town, cause the family members I know that go to this church are not like this. https://www.churchclarity.org/church/northview-community-church-1291 #homophobia #LGBT #LGBTQ #Pride #ChurchHate #Hate #Discrimination #Bigotry #Christianity #Religion #religousabuse #religousbullshit #religoustrauma #ChurchAbuse #churchtrauma #churchpropoganda

Tonight in #therapy we talked about Religious Trauma Syndrome (#RTS). It was a *rough* session. Rough.

I've been going to therapy every week for 3 years now, peeling away layers and digging deep. Tonight my shovel hit something solid: The Church. Specifically, the evangelical church. The source of emotional vacancy in our family.

Grief. Anger. Trauma. Unacknowledged harm on so many levels.

Tonight was rough. Goddamn.

You think we were all born sinners but you could never be capable of racism 🥴

(1/2) Growing up in fundiegelical spaces, I was taught from quite young to focus on what was bad about me, and to feel bad about myself. (“Godly sorrow that leads to repentance.” 🤮) Prayer, for me, often became an escape from that, where I could bask in love and acceptance instead of guilt and shame. #exvangelical

Recently found out that my former boss has drove away more than a few core congregants from his church. I’m ashamed to say that I felt more than a tiny bit of glee when I heard the news.

He caused me so much pain and anxiety and I know it has to be a knock to his pride…but I genuinely still care for those people and I grieve that they are not being shepherded well.

Recovering from #churchtrauma is a difficult road to walk.
