People are always surprised when they find out that the majority of my clients come to me with some kind of religious trauma in their background. For some, it’s severe. Starvation. Beatings. For others, it’s subtle. Subconscious programming that has hindered the way they see themselves and the people they love.

It’s taken a long time, but we’re now starting to wake up to the trauma that high control and fundamentalist religion can do. Now, the research is starting to catch up and painting a scary picture for all those still stuck in that Ol’ Time Religion.
