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:
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.

Perhaps you think the idea of joining a group sounds a bit intimidating. The truth is: IT IS! But we think we do some of our best work when we might feel a tad uncomfortable. We offer classes in a variety of different areas:
For those who are trying to learn more about themselves, go deeper, and enhance their toolkit on life.
For those who want to take their relationship from a 4 or a 5 to a 10.
Classes for as young as 2-5 all the way up to high school.
Classes focused around anxiety, depression, trauma, mood, OCD, and more.
Groups fill up quickly and have limited capacity. When we create a group we want to know that the people who are signing up are dedicated to this experience. Additionally, closed groups (meaning a group where new members cannot join halfway through) provide a much more cohesive experience in terms of support and curriculum.
Actually, we have a wide variety of groups that we offer throughout the year. We post groups the month before they begin to open registration. You can see all of our groups in the catalog below. If you have any questions about upcoming offerings, feel free to reach out in our contact form.
Yes! In fact, a poll at Thrive showed that 73% of group participants found group therapy to be as effective or more effective than individual therapy. Plus, we don’t need a poll to tell you that it’s about a third of the cost.
We’re always happy to talk you through this portion. A lot of our groups have a specific diagnosis to them and that can be a good indicator if it is a good fit for you. You can also always speak with your therapist about the group, whether that therapist is with Thrive or not.
Nobody wants to stay committed to something that is not benefiting them. We completely understand this. Talk to your group leader and we will find a solution.
Groups are an amazing way to do some great work at a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy. Perhaps you think the idea of joining a group sounds a bit intimidating. The truth is: IT IS! But we think we do some of our best work when we might feel a tad uncomfortable.
