Religious Trauma: My recovery method

Hi friends! This is the method I used -and continue to use -to expose my mental patterns and take conscious steps towards who i intend to be.
Thank you for watching !

Below is the link to the religious trauma course I mention.

It’s been five years for me and I’m still unlearning a lot. This is real.

[m.g.]

Religion traumatized the hell out of me and stopped me from being able to enjoy sexual pleasure. I've been in a relationship for 2 years now, my girlfriend was in a religious cult and I helped her escape from it, and I was born in that same cult that she was brainwashed into joining

Now I'm free but sadly I struggle with enjoying sexual pleasure without feeling extreme guilt/torment. It's a struggle.... so much pain inside damn

This is so helpful. I grew up in baptist churches. And even though I always questioned the faith and never believed what they believed, I still internalized a lot of those self-shaming feelings. I think that was also instilled in me through my mom's way of teaching us not to be bad kids (she grew up catholic). It didn't help that I also grew up in the bible belt so even when we stopped going to church and I was allowed to just exist as myself, I was shamed by my peers for "being a devil worshipper" (because not going to church apparently meant you worshipped the devil lol).

Crying 🥺 I have major anxiety due to being raised in church and being grounded when I didn’t want to go every Sunday or Wednesday or event and when I messed up or “sinned” I got shunned and portrayed as a rebel and always felt so alone and misunderstood. I loved worship because it let me escape… but really I was just escaping from the shame and guilt I felt from everyone around me

Hi Angel! Thank so much for increasing awareness around religious trauma. As a therapist who specializes in religious trauma, it is encouraging to see folx with large audiences opening up the space to talk about such a huge issue! 🙌

My dad was very abusive towards me emotionally, day 1 this method has brought so much healing to me. Thank you Angel!

This is so important ❤️ I made two videos about this because it’s so important today. Religious trauma leads to so much self sabotage. Journaling has helped me too

[fishboy]

Journaling gave me the ability to see my thoughts on paper and question their origin. It helped me differentiate what thoughts were my own and what thoughts were the ideology I was raised in

Aww, I'm proud of you for all these videos. You always have really good things to say that most the time make me cry just because I can relate so much. There are so many built-in safeties that you have to like, remember to carefully un-booby-trap yourself from thinking. It was my birthday a couple days ago and I got a lot of texts/calls from family and it was exhausting just to say "Thanks!" not that I didn't appreciate them, but just because I am bitter and resentful about growing up in such a religiously traumatic home and I'm also the only atheist I'm aware of in my family. I'm also adopted so I have so much going on in my brain on my birthday, this was the perfect Valentine's Day video for me! Thank you, Angel!

I'm really messed up right now and I appreciate this very much ❤️

I'm 14, and in I haven't grown up in a religious environment but a couple months ago I got guilt tripped online by a bunch of Christians talking about the End Times and repenting and stuff. It never used to bother me but ever since then I've been feeling sooo guilty about my sexuality and not following God, and I just can't man

I wish I could put how much your videos are helping me into words. Thank you so very much!

4:39 Im not able to afford therapy at the moment but still looking for ways to heal, glad I found this video

I love the advice of not judging yourself for where you were and where you currently are. Being raised in conservative christianity my brain was constantly policing itself about everything and it led to me having my first of many panic attacks at age 6, night terrors, sleep issues and developing an anxiety disorder. It's been a long process detangling the indoctrination and dogma from my brain and I can be really hard on myself for not being completely over it now that I am a adult. Thanks for the video! I am on the journey!

growing up christian was so damaging to me. i was constantly told that i was a worthless piece of garbage and that only by being in the glory of god or whatever did i have the right to feel good about myself. it amazes me how little ppl realize how this is literally just an abusive relationship. "worship me or ill k#ll you" is essentially the message of the bible. what if your bf/gf said that to their partner? ppl would think theyre insane! in addition, whenever i mentioned struggling with my mental health (ptsd, depression, and anxiety from abuse) i was always told it was because i was "sinning too much" or "not praying hard enough". ugh. gross! such invalidating things to say. so happy im not a christian anymore. ever since leaving christianity ive felt less s#icidal and feel more self-confident because my worth comes from me and not some old fantasy book that ppl somehow believe as facts. thank you for this video. im still recovering from my religious trauma and having videos like this that serve as both relatability and a guide are so helpful

[futureactualizer]

This hit a little too hard. Cannot put into words how much I needed to hear these words. Thankyou so much for making this video

As someone far along on the road to healing, I wish I had watched this 8 years ago when the journey began.

[jmdsservantofgod]

I like I started journaling 20 years ago and it has been very helpful to I can write anything in it (it never rejects me 😂 ) ....I also started in mindfulness which helps me stay in the moment instead of focusing on the past or my last pastor in church even encouraged us to take a deep breath when things feel pandemic makes me miss my church I hope its the same when I go back!
