Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS) shares many similarities with coercive control, but with the complexity of not only the years of indoctrination but also the added trauma of leaving the collective group and confronting life without the community, not to mention facing any developmental delays caused by the isolation from society as a whole.

Underneath fundamentalism, always lies repressed doubt. However, it is the confrontation with this doubt that is the first step on the road to liberation and your creation of a life without domination and condemnation. Perhaps you want a complete break and a new beginning, or maybe you want to leave a destructive group but stay connected to a faith that has meaning to you.

Whatever path you decide is right for you and your freedom, I will support you with empathy, compassion, education, and encouragement in your own autonomy. Most importantly, our work together will show you that you no longer need a guru in this life (including me), but that you have the strength and wisdom to be your own.
