Trauma-Informed Care
A compassionate approach to therapy or support that recognizes how trauma has shaped your thoughts, behavior, and self-image
Your therapist listens without judgment, understanding how religious trauma affected your boundaries and trust.
You feel safe in a setting where no one minimizes what you've been through in your faith community.
Potential clinical implications (especially in high control settings)
A sense of safety may allow trauma to be processed without fear of judgment.
Tools may be developed to rebuild trust, identity, and emotional regulation.
Hope and empowerment may grow as past pain is validated and addressed compassionately.
