Religious Trauma and Mental Health with Kerrick and Mellie (LGBTQIA2S+ mental health providers)

In the second episode, I talk with Kerrick and Mellie both mental health providers working mostly with the LGBTQIA2S+ community about religious trauma, mental health, and trauma healing. Disclosure: This podcast addresses sensitive and potentially activating topics related to religious trauma. We understand these conversations can be challenging, and the content may evoke strong emotions. It's important to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. If you find that the discussions in this episode resonate deeply or stir difficult feelings, we encourage you to practice self-care. This might include taking a break, reaching out to a supportive friend or family member, or seeking professional help, such as therapy and/or spiritual direction. Throughout our exploration of religious trauma and healing, our goal is to foster understanding, empathy, and growth. We believe in the power of shared stories and hope that, together, we can create a supportive community.
