Acknowledgement of Country

The team at The Religious Trauma Collective acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we work on, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose Elders and forebears have been custodians of lands, waters and seas.

Many survivors leave high control religious spaces carrying an unspoken pressure to recover correctly. Quickly. Neatly. Quietly. This pressure often echoes the systems they have left behind, where approval was tied to performance, compliance, and app
Healing from religious trauma doesn’t require you to become atheist, spiritual, or anything in particular. It requires choice. Some people leave religion entirely. Some rebuild a personal spirituality. Some stay within their faith while radic
