Unpacking Religious Trauma

*TRIGGER WARNING : Talk of Religious Ideology & Childhood Religious Teachings* In today's episode, I sat down with Becca to discuss the way that religious ideologies - specifically from a Christian perspective - can impact our mental health journeys. This topic was requested from a listener of the podcast and although it is not specifically related to BPD, the religious trauma that many of us live with can impact the way we heal and understand the role of mental health in our lives. Religious Trauma is a very nuanced topic so I approached Becca with the hope that her lived experiences, combined with her psychotherapy background, would provide a solid ground on how to speak about ways people can learn to rewrite the narratives they were told for most of their lives. Although we do critique the Christian religion, this episode is not meant to sway your opinion or make you feel like you have to step away from your faith; if anything, I hope this episode will show you that healing comes in many forms and sometimes the religious teachings we heard when we were younger might impede our healing process. If you have any more ideas for episodes or simply want to share your own experiences, please reach out on my Instagram @journey.bound 🌸 Thank you again to Becca for being a part of this discussion, you can reach her directly at beccasawyertherapy@gmail.com if you want any more resources or to check in with what she offers. One Final Note : You & Me & BPD just reached 70k listens and I hope you know I truly appreciate all the love and support that you have brought my way. This community is resilient and strong and so worthwhile so Thank you deeply 🖤🖤🖤
