RELIGIOUS TRAUMA SYNDROME

Hey friends and complete strangers!

During this pandemic, I am trying to focus my creative efforts and do my best to deliver valuable content that hopefully contributes to your lives. Since events and travel are postponed for the foreseeable future (yes, my entire career… yikes) I will have more time to interact with YOU and create content.

With that being said, I just created this brand new category on my Patreon called the RTS Crew in hopes of coming together to sort through religious trauma, share our stories and grow together. Be warned: I am not a therapist and any discussions will be a safe, low key group effort. No pressure to talk or join in if you don't want to. You can subscribe and join this exclusive group by clicking HERE.

Here is a link to the first book which we'll start reading & discussing Oct 1. I am on the first few chapters and keep having to take breaks because it makes my neck muscles tense up. Taking it in small doses.

"You Are Your Own" offers an overview of Evangelicalism and the painful confusion and anxiety experienced under its demands. Finch explores the mechanisms of trauma and how fundamentalist denominations match the patterns connected with PTSD. She elaborates on the doubt, guilt, fear, and grief that haunt those leaving the Evangelical faith and offers an approach to help them recover healthy self-worth and resilience.
