In this episode, Emily listens to Dr. Laura Anderson tell her own story of growing up evangelical and finding her way out—to begin a career of helping others recover from the same trauma she herself experienced. They also discuss the complexities of religious trauma and why it’s so important to seek the help you need. Laura is a licensed psychotherapist in Nashville, TN and co-founder of the Religious Trauma Institute; which is dedicated to educating others in the health care field and help professions on the impact of religious trauma and adverse religious experiences. She's also founded The Center for Trauma Resolution & Recovery, an online coaching practice helping people recover from varying forms of trauma, including religious trauma.
