@hopewithholly: You left church. So why do you still feel guilty for saying no, trusting yourself, or getting angry when somebody hurts you? Religious trauma can follow you into your relationships, your parenting, your sex life, and the way you treat yourself. When childhood trauma and harmful religious teachings overlap, you may have learned that putting yourself last, tolerating mistreatment, and rushing to forgive were what made you a good woman. Unlearning that takes time. Especially when you’re also rebuilding your identity, your values, and your community while raising a family. Start with one belief that makes it hard to protect yourself. Ask, “Who taught me this? What has it cost me? Do I still want to live by it?” Which of these five patterns do you recognize in your own life? 💜 #ReligiousTrauma #Deconstruction #HealingJourney #trauma #exvangelical
