This session was originally recorded as part of the 2025 Religious Trauma Collective event, where survivors, practitioners, and advocates came together to explore the complex realities of religious trauma and life beyond high-control belief systems.
Whether you’re navigating your own experiences or looking to deepen your understanding, this session offers thoughtful insight, reflection, and perspectives grounded in both lived experience and professional knowledge.
This session, facilitated by Matt Glover with Sam Sellers, Jane Kennedy, and Elise Heerde, explored the intersection of lived experience and clinical practice in supporting clients with religious trauma. Together, the panel unpacked common misconceptions in the mental health field, how to build trust with clients wary of authority, and the importance of non-traditional approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, Havening, and Parts Work.
The conversation also touched on the complexity of navigating personal resonance in sessions, working with clients seeking new spiritual frameworks, and responding when someone returns to faith. With warmth, honesty and clinical insight, this session offered a deeply grounded perspective on what it means to hold space for religious trauma in safe, embodied, and informed ways.
Once purchased, you’ll be able to watch this session in your own time and return to it whenever you need. These conversations are designed to support learning, reflection, and a deeper understanding of religious trauma and recovery.
