Religious trauma encompasses the deep emotional, psychological, and spiritual wounds caused by harmful religious experiences—such as spiritual abuse, legalistic teachings, or manipulation by leaders or institutions claiming to represent God. Religious Trauma can be misunderstood or minimized, even within faith communities.

Today marks the two year anniversary of saying goodbye to the Best Therapy Dog I could ever imagine.

Grief is still hard. Its the emotion that gets less intense over time but remains just as intense on other days-sometimes random. Definitely today.

I'm going to sit with my tea, a warm blanket, and stare at nature for a bit.

Take Care of You today.

The relationship you build with your therapist is part of the healing itself.

Trust grows slowly, especially if you’ve been hurt before, and that’s okay.

A good therapist will never rush you. They’ll give you space to show up as you are—messy, guarded, or unsure—and they’ll meet you there with compassion and patience.

Over time, those small moments of safety begin to rewrite what you believe about connection and trust.

Before any deep trauma work begins, therapy focuses on helping you feel grounded.

You learn tools to calm your body, regulate emotions, and find moments of peace in daily life.

These might include mindfulness, grounding exercises, or faith-based reflection like visualizing laying your burdens at Jesus’ feet.

Is Therapy Worth It for Childhood Trauma? A Christian Therapist’s Perspective

When you’ve experienced childhood trauma, there’s a part of you that learns to survive long before you ever learn how to truly live. You grow up believing that strength means pushing through, staying quiet, and proving that you don't need anyone. Yet somewhere along the way, you realize that your constant exhaustion, anxiety, and emotional ups and downs aren’t simply “life.” They’re symptoms of pain that never had the chance to heal.

As a Christian therapist who has spent years walking with women through this kind of pain, I often hear the same question: “Is therapy really worth it for childhood trauma?”

It’s an honest question. Therapy costs time, money, emotional energy, and a lot of courage. For many women, it feels easier to keep things buried and pray the pain away. When faith and therapy come together in the right way, healing becomes something deeper—something that reaches the hidden corners of your heart where only God and grace can truly go.

Healing begins with raw-real honesty. Journaling prayers, pouring out your grief and pain, and laying it down for God to see it all. Bringing raw emotion into His presence is not a lack of faith—it is instead the definition of authentic faith.

Christian mindfulness and Scripture meditation help calm the nervous system while anchoring the heart in God’s truth.

Trust becomes fragile. After betrayal, many women find themselves pulling back from close friendships, struggling to relax in marriage, or questioning the sincerity of others. Intimacy can feel unsafe—even if the person beside you hasn’t betrayed you. Walls go up quickly, sometimes without even realizing it, and the heart begins to brace for disappointment before it ever arrives.

This self-protection is the body’s way of trying to prevent more hurt, but it can also keep out the very love and support you long for. Over time, rebuilding trust requires both patience with yourself and the courage to let God gently guide you back into safe connection.
