Are you looking for hope and healing?
If you've experienced any kind of spiritual abuse or religious trauma, then this is the community for you.
Together, we’ll create a safe space to clarify common language and definitions around spiritual abuse and religious trauma. We’ll look at liminality and the purpose of seasons.
Together, we will learn to breathe; to recognize our polyvagal system and move up the ladder of awareness and attunement.
Move through your pain from broken to beloved.
Telling the truth is essential to our healing, and pain demands a witness. Join a cohort today and find a safe and sacred space to bear witness to God's work in each of us.
Discover a community to move through the pain and navigate the path together from broken to beloved.
Course begins Monday, February 20. Join today!
Me too.
After a threepeat of spiritually abusive environments at the hands of self-ignorant and sometimes toxic leadership, I've drawn a boundary for myself.
To quote one of my favorite movies, "I have seen enough to know I have seen too much." (Bonus points if you know the reference.) After years of counseling and therapy, I've begun processing my history of carrying 10+ years of the CPTSD that came with my experience with spiritual abuse and religious trauma.
Having identified myself as the victim for far too long (and becoming a villain in the process), I discovered my own agency and finally felt empowered to make choices for myself, rather than being a passive role in my own story.
What I've discovered is just how important our identity is to why we do what we do. And for too long, I saw myself only as broken. I was damaged goods.
Today, I also see how I'm much more. I'm beloved. And that changes everything.
Join me for this 6-week cohort as we learn to come back to ourselves through story work, learning to regulate and attune to ourselves and each other, and as we discover healing and wholeness together.
You may be broken, but you are also beloved. And there's room for you here.
Join a safe and sacred space guiding you through the history of your pain into gentle healing.

Testimonials
Hear from others who have already gone through the cohort:
This has given me tools to heal in my trauma journey. For 10 years I have been struggling to move forward so that I can have joy again.
THROUGH validated my feelings and helped me put words to my pain, which helped me process my trauma in profound ways.
If you are struggling with pain and hurt, this course would be helpful in your healing journey.
Julie, North Carolina
If you have been hurt by the church or experienced spiritual abuse & trauma, you are not alone.
THROUGH is a safe space to help you not only find language for what you’ve experienced but also to find encouragement and others who have also been through similar experiences.
I’m so thankful for what I learned and the realization that I was not alone.
Amy, Alabama
Brian distilled and presented the very essence of carefully collected sources that would have been exhausting for us to investigate and digest ourselves. The blunt teaching gave us the courage to share honestly without the toxic loyalty to our church family or former Christian organisation.
Our sharing in the group was deep...finally, a safe place that responded with the words we have longed to hear: You are not crazy. I'm sorry. I believe you.
The cohort is not only about the hurt, but about healing. I have received healing in this cohort.
Lars, Denmark
THROUGH helped me to catch my breath and recognize the places where Jesus has been present in my recovery from spiritual abuse.
I left my former community feeling hurt, overwhelmed and a bit crazy. This new community was a place to intentionally process my healing journey.
If you feel a bit crazy and need a safe place to land this is a great start!
Stacy, Hungary
