Finding Words of Freedom: Six Days of Guided Reflection for Healing from Religious Trauma
There comes a point in many of our stories when the faith we were handed stops feeling like home. Maybe it happened slowly—small comments, subtle control, the quiet erosion of your sense of self. Or maybe it was one moment that split your world open.
Either way, the impact lingers. In your body. In your relationships. In the way you move through the world.
If you’re carrying that kind of weight, I want to offer something simple and human. Not a fix. Not a formula. Just a place to start.
Finding Words of Freedom is a six‑day guided reflection I created for people who are trying to make sense of religious trauma—people who know something isn’t right but don’t always have the language for it. It’s gentle, honest, and grounded in the kind of compassion I wish I’d had when I first began untangling my own story.
Inside, you’ll find:
Prompts that help you name what’s been hard without pushing you past your capacity
Reflections that make space for grief, anger, confusion, and hope
Room to breathe, pause, and reconnect with yourself at your own pace
This isn’t about tearing anything down. It’s about tending to the parts of you that were silenced, dismissed, or spiritualized away. It’s about reclaiming your voice—slowly, quietly, in whatever way feels right for you.
If you’re ready for a small next step, you can download the guide below. Let it meet you wherever you are—curled up on the couch, sitting in your car between errands, or tucked away in a corner of your favorite coffee shop.
Finding Words of Freedom is available here.
You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to explain your story to anyone. You’re allowed to begin in the smallest of ways.
And you’re not doing it alone.
