In today's episode, I share 6 affirmations for BIPOC religious abuse survivors trying to manage their hearts and minds during this Lent/Easter season. So many BIPOC trauma healing spaces center on religion which alienates those of us trying to heal from racial and religious trauma.
If you need words of encouragement from a religious abuse survivor to religious abuse survivors, this episode is for you.
The 6 affirmations I discuss today are:
1. I can connect with and surrender to my own sovereignty as the leader of my life.
2. I do not need to be religious to be deeply rooted in my culture & ancestry.
3. I am not a sinner, I'm a human doing human things and my humanity is sacred.
4. I am allowed to reject the notion that God/the Bible can be both abuser & healer.
5. I will honor my nervous system and give myself permission to unplug & disengage when I'm triggered.
6. I will not rush my trauma healing to fit other people's expectations and timelines.
