Religious Trauma

 

We’re all familiar with the phrase “hurt people, hurt people.” But what happens when that hurt is caused by a religious system?

Faith can often be a source of hope and strength, but for some, it can bring deep spiritual pain and trauma.

Unfortunately, Western religion has created a space where performance is required. If you don't measure up to the unattainable standards that are placed, you are shamed and ridiculed which can create trauma. Many people have found this not only in a church but also within their homes while growing up.

Religious trauma can be isolating and overwhelming, and it can seem impossible to make sense of it all or even find a supportive community.

If you are someone who has experienced religious trauma we want you to know that you are not alone. We, at Life By Design Therapy, want to create a space of security for you to process. Head to the link in our bio to schedule your free phone consultation with one of our therapists today.
