Group Description

Recovery From Religion is a group for people who have experienced adverse and or traumatic religious experiences and are searching for a space to find relational connection with others while working on their healing journey. Oftentimes, when folks leave religion, there is a void left by what religion provided for them like community, connection, sense of purpose, and much more. This group will be intentional in providing space for processing, personal reflection, relational and personal connection, and skill building.

Objectives:

  • Learn about Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS).
  • Learn about the BITE Model of Authoritarian Control.
  • Build community and connection.
  • Identify and explore personal values.
  • Identify, cherish, and build your sense of self post-religion.

Recovery From Religion facilitator:

Brock Anderson, LAMFT: Born and raised in Evangelical Christianity, Brock has experienced and been a part of numerous expressions of Christian faith from Baptist, Non-Denominational, Presbyterian, and Calvinism. He understands the varying complexities of Christian religiosity and its potential for adverse and even traumatic experiences. Brock is passionate about teaching people about Religious Trauma Syndrome, the BITE Model of Authoritarian Control, and the negative impact of undue influence. From a religious trauma-informed approach, Brock utilizes Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with clients.
