Religious Trauma Therapy
A six-week therapeutic group for those processing harm, confusion, or grief from religious experiences.
The Cottage recognizes religious trauma as a distinct and valid area of therapeutic need. This group explores how religious systems can shape — and at times erode — your sense of self, drawing on Hillary L. McBride's framework from Holy Hurt and her concept of the "5 C's."
Together we unpack foundational narratives like Adam and Eve and examine how those stories still show up in everyday life, relationships, and the body. A pre-screen consultation is required before joining the cohort.
“There is a deep mistrust of the very things that would tell us something is wrong because we've been taught that not listening is actually holy.”
— Hillary L. McBride
