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.

Religious trauma often shows up for people coming out of high-demand religions, including Mormonism and other structured religious systems.

Religious trauma can look like:

  • 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

I work with:

  • Religious trauma

  • Faith transitions

  • Leaving or redefining your relationship to religion

  • Cult dynamics and recovery

  • Mixed-faith relationships

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.
