In my private practice, I work with clients recovering from #ReligiousTrauma and #ReligiousTraumaSyndrome. Regardless of flavor ( #exchristian, #exmuslim, #exjew, #exhindu, #exmormon ), the big recovery issues focus on #grief & #loss of identity, community, & worldview. Additionally, there are often significant gaps in knowledge & experience with sex, science, & secular/pop culture. It takes tremendous courage to examine foundational beliefs. If you're making the journey: WAY TO GROW!
@JaniceSelbie I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose a religious identity. I am not religious but I understand having to give up my belief system and trust someone else to guide me while I built myself back up. Your work is very important.
@Cynthia Thank you. Some days it feels like rather a lot, but I am passionate about helping others in recovery from #ReligiousTrauma .
