I think what it all boils down to is be honest with yourself about who you are. You have to be genuine with yourself! You have to look at yourself in the mirror every day. Do you need work? Who are you? No really, who are you really? I have taught my children to ask that very important question as they grow up. All of us need to work on ourselves, but the hardest part is being honest with who we are. After that, be bold. Boldly tell yourself who you are, and then you can share that with the world and the people that really love you will stand by your side.
I am seriously considering firing my therapist. She does not respect my religious trauma. She actually asked me after hearing a slew of issues...if I prayed about it?? Excuse me...huh?? I'm actually wondering if she's a real therapist...period!!🤬
That's very awful. I'm happy we have resources that empowers us to spot when those we put in authority to help us start being harmful. I think you should absolutely leave that therapist.
Yeahhhh that’s like saying that the magic genie will grant the wish you ask. Although I don’t discount prayer, it is not the only thing. There is work that must be done. You are worthy of that. Treat yourself the way you would treat your sister or best friend. Somebody you love and you care about. If you care about yourself and love yourself, then follow the advice you would give somebody else in the similar situation. I would walk out. Tell myself that there is a deeper issue that needs more professional help. Something beyond just asking for a wish to be granted.
Religion and therapy usually don’t mix too unless you chose to go to a pastoral counselor , then its risky. Therapists should not impose their values upon clients although some do it unconcisously .
I know his is off topic but I’m struggling with being an adult when I was not raised to be an adult. Things like fixing things that break or knowing when to hire it out. Men make the big decisions. Now I own a house and have a career and I’m responsible for finances. I was not prepared for this. Is there advice for women living a life they were not prepared for?
That's a great question, and I can definitely do a full video on it. I think it is probably more common place than you think it is, even thought it feels pretty isolating right now. My short answer is that TH-cam can be your friend in some instances, because there are a LOT of how tos on here, but I can see where that would still be daunting as far as what to attempt to do by yourself and what not to. 💙💙
It is possible to experience religious trauma even if you don’t ever join up. Siblings are LDS converts can shame you for not being one of them or are not interested in investigating the LDS faith . It’s that self righteous thing .

That's a great perspective 💚💚

I’d stand up and walk out. Well I should. Byeee
That should never have happened to you and I am so sorry that it did. That is beyond unethical, inappropriate, and unsafe. 🧡
