The Religious Trauma Collective

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. We are grateful for their stewardship of culture and country and pay our respects to all Indigenous people who engage with our work across the land now called Australia.

Māori Acknowledgement

We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand and the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi including the right to tino rangatiratanga (self-determination).

We have heard the stories and name the harm done to Indigenous people in the name of religion through colonisation.

Statement of Inclusion & Diversity

The team at The Religious Trauma Collective is all about embracing diversity!

That means celebrating and affirming every LGBTQIA+ identity and showing love and respect for everyone's abilities, cultures, faiths, and bodies. Everyone's unique journey is valued and welcomed with open arms.

Many survivors of religious trauma wrestle with the idea that their reactions are proof of weakness or failure.

When the world feels heavy and your nervous system’s doing laps trying to keep up, it's time to come back to the basics.

This isn’t about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about recognising that when you’re overwhelmed

We’ve been posting about ways to cope when it’s easy to be swept into overwhelm. When we’re in this space, our nervous system goes into survival mode. We can feel powerless, reactive, or shut down.
