Religious Trauma & Spiritual Abuse Recovery
Reclaim your spiritual freedom and learn to trust your own inner wisdom
Religious trauma can leave you feeling guilty about normal human experiences, afraid of divine punishment, and unable to trust your own judgment. You might struggle with persistent shame, fear of abandonment by family or community, and confusion about what you actually believe versus what you were taught.
My approach focuses on helping you develop trust in your own inner wisdom, heal from inherited guilt and shame, and create boundaries with harmful systems while exploring spirituality that feels authentic to you.
Common experiences we address:
- Persistent guilt about normal human experiences
- Fear of divine punishment or community rejection
- Identity confusion after leaving faith traditions
- Family relationship struggles due to belief changes

Anxiety, Panic, & Emotional Overwhelm

My approach focuses on:

- Developing practical tools for managing panic and overwhelm
- Building capacity to stay present during difficult emotions
You'll learn:
