In this poignant and heartfelt episode, I'm joined by my dear friends, Sara Bybee Fisk, a Coach, and Andrea Parks, a Psychotherapist, as we delve into the profound topic of Religious Trauma. Together, we embark on a journey where we explore the importance of sharing through our own stories.
We begin by recounting the serendipitous nature of our meeting, which felt almost like divine intervention. I open up about my own upbringing within evangelical Christianity, detailing the challenges of coming out, and we reflect on Sara and Andrea's unique journeys within Mormonism.
Through our conversations, we highlight the overlap and differences in our upbringings. Our discussion takes us on a profound exploration of their
experiences as parents of LGBTQIA+ children and the impact it had on their perspectives on faith and life. We also delve into the complex process of losing our guidance systems, as our religions often demanded us to conform to specific molds and strive endlessly for a love that felt unattainable, and then how we began to reclaim them.
Together, we unravel the layers of religious trauma, examining the impact it had on our lives and the paths we ultimately chose to take. Join us in this heartfelt conversation as we shed light on the healing journey beyond religious trauma and the resilience of the human spirit.
