I am a religious trauma therapist because I endured religious trauma. I lived in a monastery for 29 years and practiced “death to self” which killed my spirit. Now I am speaking up about abuse in religion. And how we heal.

You though and I hope this helps #igfyp #FrayaYouPage #christian #religioustrauma #reels

Christianity primed white people to feel guilty when certain Pavlovian bells ring.

Accused? Wrongdoing even subtly implied? Guilt! Shame!

Then, if it's a respected authority doing the implying (be it parent or priest), we're primed to submit.

If we don't respect the authority of the "accuser […]

The Divine was there before you were hurt.
Still there now.
Not impatiently. Not with conditions. Not demanding you heal on anyone's timeline.
Just... there. When you're ready.

I saw a white evangelical basically screaming at the camera yesterday on YouTube about patriarchy, racism, capitalism, and SA, ready to split from every Christian, even the progressive ones, and while I disagreed with some of her minor points and her shouting gave me a headache, I'm emotionally […]

In Mormon news, BYU tried to make an indigenous student cut his braids. So fuck them.

Thankfully, they responded to pushback and now will not make him do that, but I'm sure they will continue to get away with all of their other attempts to control the hairstyles and harmless behaviors of […]

It's weird. I had a feeling I was going to win. Just this little joking voice inside me.

I figure the odds were in my favor. There probably weren't too many tickets in there.

I think I spent $5 on two tickets.

So you'll never believe this. I won the raffle. I entered for the $50 gift basket. So a really great investment for me! And I hope those kids have fun on their mission trip and learn more than the people they're going to teach.

Spring thaw looks like change on the surface.
If the ground underneath is still frozen? Nothing actually moved.
That's inclusion varnishing. That's religious trauma. That's fake healing.

I accidentally enthusiastically gave money for a mission trip to Costa Rica today.

I thought it was a school thing. Outside the hardware store, kids selling hot dogs and raffle tickets. What else was it going to be for?

But I'm in Idaho, sigh.

I love being in Idaho, and I've gotten […]

There were the lies of Christianity, which infected western culture with the lies of colonization, which infected naturalists' minds with the lies of intellectual superiority, which infected modern scientists with the lies of scientific colonialism, all of which hid the fact that all along, many […]

TIL about the Piraha people of the Amazon, whose language makes it impossible to convert them to Christianity.

In fact, a missionary attempting to convert them in the 1970s ended up deconverting after experiencing their culture.

Yoga studios make you anxious. Someone mentions prayer and you freeze. You want spiritual connection and your body says NO.

Shame-based spiritual systems teach you to fear the Divine, not connect with Them. If your practice makes you feel broken, that's not G-d, that's distortion. You need a map, not a judgement.

Religious Gaslighting & Abuse ⛪ Religious Gaslighting & Abuse — Join Guest Vangelis Kalogirou, Dedicated Spiritual Seeker, together with Host Tina Huggins, Divorce & “Narcissist Conflict” Grief Specialist, for a powerful and eye-opening conversation about spiritual manipulation, religious gaslighting, and emotional abuse within faith-based environments. Learn how to recognize harmful dynamics, reclaim your voice, and separate authentic spirituality from control-based belief systems. This episode offers insight, validation, and tools for healing and rebuilding trust in yourself and your faith journey. Streamed on https://www.newstreamingnetwork.com/ More About Tina: Tina Huggins, CTA Life Coach certified, CDC Divorce Coach, CDC Transitions Coach, CDC Recovery Coach, TKG Restorative Family Mediator Certified, TKG Family Circle Certified. I have coached for over 30 years coming from the background of law enforcement and self-defense instructor.  Tina lived in an abusive relationship ending up with a broken hand, separated ribs, and a dislocated leg from fights during the relationship. Contact Info: coachtinalynn@gmail.com https://divorcecoachspecialist.com/ More about Vangelis: Vangelis Kalogirou. Vangelis is a dedicated spiritual seeker who spent much of his life following the expectations of others before choosing to live his own life, his way. For over 20 years, Vangelis never missed a workout, only the disruption of COVID changed that streak. That period of change led him to release the need for perfection and, for the first time, he became himself.  Deeply spiritual and committed to daily inner work, Vangelis chose to see things from a different angle. Vangelis spent many years as a member of a church. That experience formed his current focus: exploring the dynamics of abuse from a different angle and this is what our discussion will be on today.  Today Vangelis helps business owners leverage what they already know, clarifying strengths, simplifying practices, and creating sustainable, peaceful growth. His approach blends discipline, compassion, and spiritual insight to support lasting personal and professional transformation.
