HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRITUALITY WHILE HEALING FROM RELIGIOUS TRAUMA
Unlock the tools to heal from your trauma and transform your relationship with God, opening the door toward peace, clarity and reconnection.
Beneath the surface, countless Christian believers carry unseen wounds from religious systems that promised love, but often delivered fear, control, or shame.
Connecting with God can be one of the most meaningful, healing and beautiful parts of life. A relationship with Him can bring peace, comfort, purpose and a deep sense of being known and loved. Maybe you've felt that connection before. Maybe you haven't yet. If you’ve lived through trauma—especially Complex Trauma—connection can feel complicated, confusing or even painful. Often, the first step toward a deeper relationship with God is courageously questioning what we’ve been taught about Him.
This course isn’t just about understanding Complex Trauma—it’s about questioning the God you’ve been taught about, and allowing yourself the permission to ask questions and learn about Him in a new way. After all, God invites us to ask questions: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1)
What You’ll Learn

Relationships and Boundaries – How trauma impacts trust, connection and boundaries—and how healing is possible with support, Scripture and safe community
Basic Needs and God’s Compassion – As physical and spiritual beings, part of recovery is learning to take care of ourselves with the same care God shows us

Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you. - Gabor Maté
Our programs and training environments encourage participants to look at early childhood environments with a different type of lens; not only focusing on seemingly obvious, (largely traumatic) events, but on all of the pieces that may have played a role. We investigate biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors with a measure of curiosity, compassion and love. By examining the entire picture, we are able to see that several aspects of early childhood can be traumatic, resulting in shame-based identity development, unsound coping adaptations, and unhealthy relationship attachments.
