Religious Trauma & High-Demand Religion
You might be questioning what you were taught.
Or noticing how much of it still shapes you, even if you’ve stepped away.
This often shows up for people coming out of high-demand or controlling religious environments, including Mormonism.
When your relationship to religion changes, it can shift how you see yourself, your relationships, and your life.
You don’t have to have it all figured out, or know what you believe now, to start.
You might be noticing:
Shame around sex or your body
Second-guessing yourself or not knowing how to trust your intuition
Fear of getting it wrong or being a bad person
Loss of community, connection to spirituality, or structure
Feeling split between who you were and who you are now
Tension with family or a partner who still believes
Together we can work on:
Reconnecting with your body and desire without shame
Learning to tune into and trust your own intuition
Processing the fear of being “bad” or getting it wrong
Grieving what you lost and building new community and meaning
Integrating who you were with who you’re becoming
Navigating mixed-faith relationships and family
We focus on understanding what happened, how it shaped you, and how to move forward with more clarity and self-trust.
I have experience working with people from a range of religious backgrounds, including high-demand systems like Mormonism.
I offer dedicated support for those leaving Mormonism.
