Episode 141 - Understanding Religious Trauma Part 1 with Kendra Hill

Episode 141 - Understanding Religious Trauma Part 1 with Kendra Hill

People-pleasing and codependent tendencies often stem from a religious upbringing. In my own journey of unraveling those behaviors, I’ve had to confront what I was taught to believe about God, obedience, and how “being good” kept me in line. In part one of my conversation with licensed therapist Kendra Hill, we define religious trauma and explore how fear, bypassing, and chronic self-surveillance get wired into us. Here’s what we cover:


  • Why many women feel terrified to stop people pleasing when religion is involved
  •  How growing up with a fear of divine punishment can shape your nervous system
  • The difference between religious trauma and religious hurt
  • How spiritual bypassing teaches us to ignore our emotions
  • What happens when you’re taught to trust authority instead of trusting yourself


Kendra Hill is a neurodivergent artist, beauty seeker, exvangelical, and believer in people. By profession she is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Colorado and an online coach across the nation with a specific focus on providing space for those who have some kind of religious background, religious trauma, are deconstructing their faith, or come from high control environments. She has recently relocated to New York City but remains passionate about holding space for people's stories - especially the ones it seems like no one else understands. Kendra co-owns a private practice called Unraveling Free Therapy & Coaching and is currently accepting new clients.
