Religious Trauma 101 is a 60-minute webinar for therapists, counsellors, psychologists and social workers who want to feel more confident working with clients affected by religion. Religious trauma often turns up in sessions without anyone naming it. It looks like anxiety that won’t shift, crushing guilt, fear of getting things wrong, or a client who doesn’t know who they are without their faith. This webinar helps you spot it, understand it and respond in a way that helps.
Who it’s for
Practitioners who feel unsure or underprepared when religion comes up, and anyone who wants to understand how high-control faith affects mental health, identity and relationships. No prior knowledge needed.
What’s covered
What religious trauma is, from doctrine and rituals to community and family pressure
How it overlaps with family violence, coercive control and gaslighting
Who is most affected, and how it shows up differently for different clients
Mental health impacts, including anxiety, grief, scrupulosity, body disconnection and identity confusion
Why clients hold back in therapy, and how to make your sessions feel safe
Practical, trauma-informed ways to respond in session
What you’ll walk away with
You’ll be able to recognise religious trauma even when a client doesn’t name it. You’ll also learn how to avoid accidentally retraumatising or minimising their experience, and how to support them through grief, identity questions and getting their autonomy back.
The details
60-minute webinar, on demand
Certificate of completion after a short quiz, which you may be able to use towards your CPD hours (check with your professional body)
