Setting boundaries gets complicated when religious trauma is involved.
You stopped showing up at church. You thought you left toxic religion behind. Yet it can still creep up on you outside the church sanctuary. Well-meaning family, a society that assumes religion is always a good thing, former church friends wanting you to explain yourself - it hurts. Not just emotionally, it affects your body too.
Set yourself up for the conversations you wanted to be having this whole time.
In this self-guided course, I'll give you my step by step process to craft boundaries with religious trauma in mind. You'll gain the self-awareness you need to make boundaries that work and have a recovery plan for when they don't.
With over 10 videos containing over an hour of instruction, a workbook and 5 additional worksheets, you'll also be able to articulate what you actually want out of the spiritual conversations you do have so that you can engage more meaningfully with people who actually deserve you.
Whether you're trying to figure out how you're going to handle the holidays with religious family or seeking companionship in the quest for spirituality beyond dogma, this course will help you advocate for yourself while living into your values.

My religious recovery started with a shitty spiritual conversation between me and my pastor when I was 17.
Since that time, I went all the way through religious education, getting two degrees in religion (read: Christianity). I became both an atheist and a pastor in order to feel safe in spiritual conversations.
After burning out as a pastor, I realized it takes more than a "powerful" position to create safety. I had to make friends with body, recognize my own power and embrace my unique voice.
After leaving the Christian tradition I sought training in religious trauma from Dr. Marlene Winell and have become a certified life coach and trauma support specialist. I'm excited to share what I've learned about religious trauma and the body, as well as ways that spirituality can be more than toxic religion would have us believe.
