Recover from religious trauma and reclaim your life

You're out. But that doesn’t mean it’s over.

And it can show up in all kinds of sneaky ways. Like:

📩 You’re writing an email at work and reread it 7 times because you’re terrified of making a mistake.  Not because the mistake matters… but because your body remembers what it feels like to be shamed for being wrong.

📺 8 pm Friday. You’re on the couch watching Bridgerton after an exhausting work week.  You can’t shake that nagging restless feeling that you should be doing something productive and something is off.

💬 You send a text that feels honest and real, and when the other person doesn’t respond right away, you assume you said the wrong thing and should have never said it because they are judging you and won't want to be your friend anymore.

👮‍♂️ You constantly default to authority: your boss, your doctor, your yoga teacher. It doesn't even occur to you to say NO or question what they tell you to do. 

🍝 You're craving spaghetti with meatballs from your favorite Italian restaurant but when your partner suggests Thai you quickly say "OK, great!" 

This is real life fueled by real deep conditioning

Constantly second-guessing yourself, overanalyzing everything you do, criticizing yourself for not being good enough, feeling guilty for experiencing pleasure, saying YES when you want to say no, and being ran by perfectionism are ALL part of religious trauma. 

These deeply ingrained patterns make it feel difficult to hear your own wisdom, trust yourself, and speak your truth.

But guess what? These are learned and conditioned patterns.

That means that you can UNLEARN these soul crushing patterns and replace them with new ways to think, feel, and show up in the world. 

Religious trauma recovery begins with showing up for yourself 

with compassion, curiosity and courage so you can rebuild your core self from the inside.

(A sense of humor helps too.) 😃

It's not about rejecting your experience, releasing the past, and becoming an improved version of you. 

Here's what they hide in every cult and high-control spiritual environment that has everything to do with you taking your power back:

You're not flawed.

You're not broken.

You are enough just the way you are. 

(Even the wiggly- jiggly and very not-so-perfect bits.)
