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.
In this session Jane Kennedy talks with Dr Josie McSkimming about leaving the Sydney Anglican church and her once fundamentalist worldview. Josie talks about her research into faith deconstruction that led to her book, Leaving Christian Fundamentalism and the reconstruction of identity. Also, on finding friends after church community, and, her new memoir, Gutsy Girls, about her story of leaving faith and the impact of her late sister, the rule breaking and subversive writer Dorothy Porter.
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.
