Devotion to Distress: Understanding Religious Trauma

In this episode, host Grace Becker sits down with fellow therapist Lucas Mitzel to explore the lasting impact of religious trauma. Together, they unpack how religious trauma manifests in people’s lives, the emotional and psychological toll it takes, and the ways it shapes identity, relationships, and healing. Drawing from both personal experiences and professional expertise, Grace and Lucas offer insight into navigating recovery, rebuilding a sense of self, and fostering relationships with those who still hold faith in the very systems that caused harm. Whether you're deconstructing, healing, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and trauma, this conversation is a must-listen.Intro/Outro music: "Expensive" By Yarin PrimakSocial Media:Instagram @life.in.motion24TikTok @Life_in_motion24Email- [email protected] on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Spotify
