💬 Simone F.
“It was just a 5-minute quiz, but it felt like someone had been reading my journal. I’ve taken other spiritual assessments, but this was the first one that told the truth—my truth. After just the quiz and the first gift audio, I already felt something shifting in me. It was so validating.”

Hello. I'm Debra, founder of the Healing Religious Trauma Circle & Podcast.
Around here, our motto is simple but powerful: Heal the harm. Keep your faith.
We don’t ask you to let go of your faith to find healing.
Instead, we gently help you heal the harm—guiding you back to the love, truth, and belonging you were always meant to know.
We blend a woman-centered approach that uncovers the hidden barriers and false beliefs shaped by religious trauma—and replace them with the deeper, more accurate truth and the tender way of Jesus.
This journey moves you from confusion, fear, and shame—unsure of who you are or whether you’re even worthy of love—to living a new story rooted in truth, where your voice is heard, your value is seen, and your future is filled with clarity, confidence, and freedom.
Even if today you feel too broken, too lost, or too far from God to believe that’s possible.
“I had no idea how many false beliefs were running in the background of my life. Now I don’t feel lost or ashamed anymore—I feel grounded, whole, and closer to God than I’ve ever been.” —Kristina T
“I didn’t realize how much I was carrying until I heard other women speak. This community became a place where I could exhale, be honest, and finally begin to heal.” —Tekyia R.
“I came in feeling so confused and ashamed—like I was the only one. This space gave me words for my pain and a safe place to heal without abandoning my faith. I finally feel seen and held by both God and other women.” —Simone F.
No matter where you are in your journey, there’s a path here for you.
We offer three Blueprint experiences—each one designed to meet you where you are, with the right level of guidance, tools, and support.
Whether you’re just beginning or ready for deeper work, everything you need is delivered inside our compassionate community.
Take a breath. Choose the path that fits right now.
You don’t have to walk it alone.
HEALING RELIGIOUS TRAUMA—BLUEPRINT #1 | BECOMING FREE | THE ESSENTIALS
Discover the Truth About Religious Trauma and How It Has Shaped Your LifeAt the heart of the Essentials Blueprint is He Is Enough — Debra’s honest, deeply personal memoir of healing from religious trauma. Through her story, you’ll begin to find language for your own pain, clarity for your confusion, and compassionate tools to help you take your very first steps toward becoming free.
What Is The Essentials Blueprint?
This blueprint was created for women who are just beginning to name the harm they’ve experienced in spiritual spaces — who may still feel anxious, ashamed, or uncertain, but know in their bones that something isn’t right… and haven’t known where to turn.
Inside, you’ll receive the book and audiobook, along with Truth Over Tradition: A Roadmap to Recovery — a gentle, trauma-informed mini-course that helps you understand where you are in your healing and where to go next. You’ll also be invited to live reading circles with Debra, where you can reflect on your own story, ask honest questions, and find comfort in a compassionate community of women who truly understand.
And the best part is — you don’t have to figure this out alone.
Whether you’re just beginning to question what you were taught, afraid of where healing might lead, or unsure if you’re even allowed to want freedom — this path will meet you right where you are.
Even if you’ve spent years shrinking yourself, doubting your instincts, and wondering if you’ll ever feel whole again — the truth is: You are deeply loved. Your voice matters.
And becoming free begins the moment you realize that the fear, guilt, and shame you’ve carried were never yours to hold.

What You’ll Receive Inside the Essentials Blueprint
Each part of this blueprint was designed to gently guide you through the early stages of healing from religious trauma — with clarity, compassion, and soul-level support. Whether you need language for your experience or simply a safe place to begin, these resources will meet you right where you are.
Becoming Free
Before you rebuild your faith, you have to understand the harm. These first steps help you gently untangle guilt, fear, and shame — and begin to reclaim your voice.
👩🏽👩🏻🦳👩🏿🦱👩🏻🦰 Healing happens faster when you’re not doing it alone. In this nurturing private space, you’ll connect with kindred women who understand the weight of what you’ve carried. There’s no fixing here — just listening, supporting, and walking with one another in truth and love.
“I found women who didn’t need me to explain myself — they just got it. This space felt like coming home.” – Simone F.
📖 A deeply personal story of spiritual recovery that walks with you, not ahead of you. Through Debra’s honest reflections, journal prompts, and soul-stirring takeaways, you’ll find the courage to name your own story — and permission to begin again.
“Reading Debra’s book was like being given permission to tell the truth — I didn’t have to pretend anymore.” – Kristina T.
🎧 Let these words wash over you as you listen to Debra read her own story in her own voice — raw, tender, and true. Perfect for women who prefer listening over reading or need soul-deep encouragement on the go, this audiobook brings comfort, clarity, and connection wherever you are in your day.
“I didn’t even know religious trauma was a thing. But Debra’s book gave me the language for what I had carried my whole life.” – T. R.

Healing can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re just starting out. These support bonuses are here to offer clarity, connection, and steady encouragement as you take your next steps.

“Tekyia understood my kind of pain — the invisible kind. Her words helped me untangle the guilt I thought was mine.” – Anonymous
“I’m so excited! Having the new workbook style with exercises and visuals is leading me to healing! I just mapped out my past religious trauma in just four pages. I can’t believe how straightforward this process is. I can only hope my kids will want this book too. The visuals make it accessible instead of dry and difficult. So important.”
— Sara T., Centerville, TN
As a survivor of religious trauma, I didn’t even have words for my experience—until now. Debra’s story put words to my wounds and light on my path. Reading this book felt like being seen for the first time.”
— Faith G., Nairobi, Kenya
“Debra’s honesty and wisdom make this more than a memoir—it’s a roadmap for healing. She gives her story to us with such generosity that I saw myself in these pages. If you’ve ever felt like your faith broke you instead of saving you, this book is a gift.”
— Rob F., Harrison, AR
“Debra puts into words what so many of us have felt: the heartbreaking contradiction of faith that both saved us and stole us. If you’ve struggled to untangle what you were taught from what is true, this book will walk beside you with compassion and clarity.”
— Dina F., Chico, CA

HEALING RELIGIOUS TRAUMA—BLUEPRINT #2 | COMING HOME | THE GROWTH PATH
A One-Of-A-Kind, Heart-Healing Adventure Back To God, To Yourself, And To Those You LoveThis experience path takes you on a six-month journey to unravel the trauma, instill the truth, and create a new story—all within a compassionate community of women who truly understand. Along the way, you’ll feel seen, heard, understood, and supported as you step into the healing God always intended for you.
What Is The Growth Path Blueprint?
This blueprint is for women who’ve moved beyond the first moments of awareness and now feel it’s time to go deeper. Maybe you’ve started naming the harm. Maybe you’ve already taken brave steps away from fear-based faith. Maybe you’ve even begun healing — but the deeper false beliefs still linger, just beneath the surface.
You still wrestle with guilt and shame you can’t explain. You love God — but the pressure, fear, or silence you’ve carried feels like a weight you were never meant to bear. You’ve tried to pray it away, push through, or just “be okay,” but something in you knows: the ache won’t leave until the truth is told.
This is where real transformation begins.
The Growth Path offers a safe, structured, Spirit-led experience that guides you step-by-step through the 12 Hidden Barriers of Religious Trauma and helps you gently unravel what was never yours to carry. Along the way, you’ll experience the power of compassionate community, live group coaching, and the kind of deep, soul-level clarity that brings lasting peace.
You want clarity — not just about what you believe, but about who you are. You want to trust again — not just God, but your own heart. You want freedom — not just from fear, but into joy, wholeness, and purpose.
And the best part is, you can do this without abandoning your faith, betraying your past, or pretending you’re further along than you are. You won’t be handed another set of rules or asked to silence your doubts. Instead, you’ll be guided to gently name what’s been hidden, reclaim what was lost, and build something new from a foundation of love, truth, and trust.
Whether you’re…
…already awakening from painful spiritual patterns,
…no longer sure what you believe (or if it’s even safe to ask),
…or stuck in survival mode, afraid to hope again —
This is your next right step.
Because you don’t have to have all the answers, relive every painful memory, or explain your journey to people who don’t understand. Inside this safe, structured, and spirit-led journey, healing happens at your pace, in the company of women who speak your language and honor your story.
Even if you’ve spent years feeling invisible, burned out by religion, or afraid of your own voice —
You are not too far gone. You are not behind. And you are not alone.
You’re done with surface-level answers. You’re ready for transformation.
What You’ll Receive Inside the Growth Path Blueprint
Coming Home is more than a course — it’s a guided experience path designed for women ready to walk the sacred trail of healing from religious trauma. Winding through three transformational pillars — Unravel the Trauma, Instill the Truth, and Create a New Story — this journey guides you step-by-step through 12 healing milestones, each one gently revealing a hidden barrier of religious trauma that has been keeping you stuck in guilt, fear, or confusion.
With live group coaching sessions led by Debra and her trusted team, you’ll receive personalized support and soul-level insight as you walk through your own story, ask honest questions, and begin experiencing breakthrough after breakthrough — not in isolation, but in the safety of a compassionate sisterhood.
Along the way, you’ll be equipped with powerful tools: self-coaching scripts, reflection guides, audio teachings, and practical exercises that help you move from performance and pressure into peace, clarity, and courage. You’ll finally be able to discern who God really is — and just as importantly, who He is not — so you can release the distorted versions you were taught and embrace a relationship grounded in love, truth, and trust.
You’ll reconnect to the strength and wisdom already inside you.
You’ll create healthy, fulfilling, growth-oriented relationships that honor your needs and your voice.
You’ll begin to see yourself as God sees you — not broken, but beloved.
Not behind, but becoming.
This isn’t just a course. It’s a return to the woman you were always meant to be.

Leaving The Forest Of Confusion

Crossing The Bridge Of Truth

Finding My Fortress Of Strength
The 3 Pillars Of Spiritual Renewal
Unravel the Trauma. Instill the Truth. Create a New Story.
You’ll be gently guided through 12 soul-level healing shifts (milestones) — from religious harm to spiritual wholeness.
This path offers a powerful blend of psychological wisdom, compassionate support, and the deeper truths of God’s love — so you can finally release what was never yours to carry and walk freely into your calling.
Milestone 1: Individual Inspiration
Theme: My Soul Is Seen Through Glimpses Of Grace Hidden Barrier: I’m Invisible
In this first week, we gently open the door to visibility. For many women shaped by religious systems, the message was clear: stay small, stay quiet, stay in line. This milestone begins to unravel the belief that ‘I’m invisible’ by offering a new vision of God — one who sees you fully, honors your presence, and delights in your design. We’ll begin to reawaken your voice, your sense of being known, and the spiritual truth that you have always mattered.
Milestone 2: True Motivation
Theme: Aligned Integrity Produces Right Actions Hidden Barrier: I’m Not Enough
This week, we confront one of the deepest roots of religious trauma: performance-based identity. The belief that ‘I’m not enough’ fuels striving, burnout, and spiritual anxiety. This milestone invites you to explore what it feels like to be motivated not by fear or obligation, but by alignment with truth. You’ll begin to reconnect with desire, integrity, and internal permission to live and act from your core worth.
Milestone 3: Awareness: Eyes Wide Open
Theme: The Horizon Clears As I Embrace The Wisdom Of Survival Hidden Barrier: I’m Bad
Shame is often the silent engine beneath religious trauma. This week, we expose the belief that ‘I’m bad’ — a pattern of moral self-condemnation that often formed in environments of fear and control. You’ll begin to see your past survival strategies as sacred responses, not sins. Together, we will explore the difference between guilt and growth — and how God’s love meets us not in perfection, but in process.
Milestone 4: Standing Free
Theme: All The Paths Before Me Lead to Freedom Hidden Barrier: I’m Not Safe
This milestone names the barrier that often lingers even after we’ve left toxic environments — the sense that freedom is unsafe. We’ll gently address the belief that ‘I’m not safe’ by exploring how religious trauma affects the nervous system, decision-making, and our relationship with God. You’ll begin to experience internal safety, the presence of peace, and the ability to stand without fear.
Milestone 5: In The Depths Of Sacred Sorrow
Theme: An Inexpressible Love Heals Me Hidden Barrier: I’m Unlovable
Grief often reveals the stories we still believe about ourselves. In this tender milestone, we face the barrier that says ‘I’m unlovable’ — especially in our hardest moments. Through sacred sorrow and compassionate truth, you’ll begin to receive love without conditions, and understand God’s heart not as distant or demanding, but as deeply healing and present in your pain.
Milestone 6: Guided By Honor And Truth
Theme: I Navigate My Path With Correct Principles Hidden Barrier: I’m a Failure
This week invites you to let go of rigid rules and embrace truth that brings life. The belief ‘I’m a failure’ often forms when we equate mistakes with moral collapse. Here, you’ll discover how divine principles bring clarity, not shame — and learn how to walk forward with grace, even when the road has been uneven.
Milestone 7: The Heavenly Algorithm: Reconnecting Heart + Mind
Theme: Discover The True Science Of Salvation Hidden Barrier: I’m Different (in the wrong way)
This milestone is for the woman who has always felt like an outsider — too emotional, too logical, too deep. The belief ‘I’m different in the wrong way’ often silences our intuitive or intellectual gifts. This week, we reclaim those gifts and explore how reconnecting heart and mind creates a more holistic, authentic faith.
Milestone 8: Restoring The Sacred Parts Of My Soul
Theme: The Divine Healing Methods & Tailored Techniques Of Jesus Hidden Barrier: I Don’t Matter
Jesus didn’t shame people into healing — He saw them, dignified them, and responded with love. This week, we confront the belief ‘I don’t matter’ by reintroducing the compassionate methods of Jesus. You’ll begin to internalize the truth that your voice, story, and healing are not just allowed — they’re sacred.
Milestone 9: The Fearless Journey
Theme: I Encounter Genuine Experiences On My Path Hidden Barrier: I Don’t Have…
As we begin to walk with the Spirit in a new way, many women encounter the scarcity belief: ‘I don’t have what I need.’ This milestone is about spiritual abundance — reconnecting with the guidance, wisdom, and voice of God *within* you, not just outside.
Milestone 10: Connected Souls & Divine Bonds
Theme: Navigating Authentic Relationships With Divine Boundaries And Sacred Intentions Hidden Barrier: I’m Too Much
Rebuilding relationships after religious trauma means learning how to be fully ourselves without apology. This week, we tenderly unravel the belief that ‘I’m too much’ — too emotional, too needy, too intense — and replace it with permission to be fully seen and safely held.
Milestone 11: My Heart’s Unveiling
Theme: The Tapestry of Transformation Has Woven Wisdom And Beauty Into My Life Hidden Barrier: I’m Unworthy
This is the week women often begin to feel the change in their bones. But to live transformed, we must release the core lie that ‘I’m unworthy.’ This milestone helps you embody truth, take up space, and begin to trust the beauty and wisdom that’s been within you all along.
Milestone 12: My Soul’s Calling
Theme: Living Life On Purpose In A Realm Of Meaningful Service Hidden Barrier: I Don’t Belong
In the final milestone, we confront the belief that says ‘I don’t belong’ — the story that kept you on the margins of your own life. Here, you’ll be invited to step fully into your voice, your calling, and your place in the story of love, truth, and liberation. You’re not on the outside anymore. You are home.
Extra Support For The Journey
Healing this deep takes more than information — it takes guidance, presence, and the kind of support that meets you where you are. That’s why Coming Home includes a full Preseason Orientation to prepare your heart for the path ahead, 12 live group coaching sessions to walk with you through real-time breakthroughs, and self-coaching scripts to help you navigate the 12 Hidden Barriers with clarity and compassion.
You’ll also receive a 3-part audio series to help you move from confusion to clarity, a powerful bonus on the healing methods of Jesus, and lifetime access to the Essentials Blueprint — so you can keep returning to the foundations that ground and grow you. This isn’t just added content — it’s lasting support for the moments you need it most.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #1 - Before The Journey Begins.... There's Preseason
Before you set foot on the trail of healing, Coming Home begins with something special: Preseason — a gentle, soul-aligning introduction to the journey ahead. This isn’t a sprint. It’s a compassionate invitation to pause, breathe, and prepare your heart for what’s coming — with clarity, kindness, and no pressure to be anywhere but right where you are.
Inside Preseason, you’ll receive your success map — an aerial view of the full path through the 3 Pillars and 12 Healing Milestones — so you can see the big picture without feeling overwhelmed. You’ll be invited to gather your spiritual backpack with tools, encouragement, and mindset shifts to support you through the terrain ahead. You’ll set your inner compass, discover your own rhythm, and learn how to walk this path with curiosity instead of fear.
You’ll also be lovingly guided through our community’s trail etiquette — gentle agreements that create a space where safety, permission, and compassion lead the way.
This part of the program isn’t about “doing” anything right. It’s about arriving.
Arriving in your own story.
Arriving without judgment.
Arriving ready to be held by a process that was built to honor you.
By the time you step into the first milestone, you’ll know this for sure:
You’re not behind. You’re not alone. And you’re not expected to heal overnight.
You’ll be ready — not because you’re perfect, but because you finally feel safe enough to begin.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #2 - LIVE Coaching Sessions: A Safe Space To Be Seen & Supported
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation — and it doesn’t happen through information alone. That’s why Coming Home includes 12 live group coaching sessions with me, Debra, and a compassionate circle of women walking this path beside you.
These sessions aren’t lectures or pressure-filled performances. They’re sacred gatherings — a place where you can bring your real questions, quiet fears, personal breakthroughs, or simply your presence. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t even have to speak. You’re welcome here, whether you come with a raised hand or a tender heart that just needs to listen in and receive.
As someone who’s walked through the ache of religious trauma myself, I don’t come to these calls as someone with all the answers — but as someone who’s lived the questions, survived the unraveling, and found healing in the presence of a God who never stopped loving me. I’ve helped countless women walk this exact path — and I’ll be here to walk it with you too, offering gentle, clear support each step of the way.
This is your program. You get to use it how you need.
Whether you join the calls every time, listen quietly from the side door, or just show up when the moment feels right — you’ll always be welcomed, seen, and supported.
No judgment. No spiritual pressure. Just an openhearted space where your healing matters — and your voice is always safe to bring.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #3 - The Self-Coaching Scripts: A Gentle Transformational Companion
These are not worksheets.
They’re not goal-trackers or checklists.
They are soul-guides — written for the woman who’s ready to not just understand her story, but transform it from the inside out.
The Coming Home Self-Coaching Scripts are a set of 12 powerful, trauma-informed guides — each one created to walk you through a specific healing milestone and help you break through the corresponding Hidden Barrier of Religious Trauma. Every script is thoughtfully designed to do more than ask questions. It leads you through a process: from awareness to compassion, from shame to clarity, from silence to voice.
Inside each script, you’ll find a gentle structure of reflection, guided inquiry, scripture-based encouragement, and soul-deep integration prompts — written in a voice that holds you like a wise friend who truly sees you.
You can walk through them alone, in prayerful reflection with God, or alongside a trusted friend who’s walking the path with you. Then, when you’re ready, you can bring what’s rising to the live group coaching calls — for deeper clarity, confirmation, or breakthrough.
These aren’t about behavior change.
They’re about belief change — about dismantling the internalized messages that have kept you small, afraid, or ashamed… and replacing them with truth that liberates and love that lasts.
Many women in this program return to the scripts again and again — not because they didn’t “get it,” but because these are living tools. They grow with you. They meet you where you are. And they become part of the way you live and relate to yourself, to God, and to others.
This is transformation you can feel — not just in your mind, but in your body, your relationships, your spiritual rhythm, and your day-to-day life.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. These scripts are here to walk with you — one truth at a time, one barrier at a time — until the story that once held you back becomes the story that leads you home.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #4 - From Confusion To Clarity: A 3-Part Audio Series
Religious trauma doesn’t just leave wounds — it leaves questions. Heavy, haunting questions about God, about yourself, about what’s true and what’s just fear dressed up as faith.
This 3-part audio series was created to walk with you through those questions. In each intimate conversation, Debra gently untangles the spiritual confusion left by harmful teachings and replaces it with clarity rooted in love, not shame. You’ll begin to see the difference between fear-based control and God’s actual heart for you — one of tenderness, truth, and safety.
Whether you listen on a walk, in a quiet moment alone, or while journaling, these audios are here to steady your soul and help you remember: you’re not lost. You’re finding your way back to what was always true.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #5 - Observing Jesus: His Healing Methods & Techniques
Before there were formulas or therapy models… there was Jesus. And the way He met people — one by one, heart to heart — still holds the most powerful blueprint for healing the human soul.
In this special bonus resource, we gently study how Jesus responded to people in their most vulnerable moments: the woman at the well, the bleeding woman, the outcast, the ashamed, the overburdened. Not once did He shame, silence, or bypass their pain. He looked them in the eye. He listened. He dignified their experience. He asked better questions. He made room for their full humanity — and then invited them into wholeness.
His methods weren’t just holy — they were effective. And they still are.
This resource will help you not only receive healing through His ways, but begin to embody them in how you treat yourself and others. You’ll learn to recognize how Jesus’ approach gently rewrites what we believed about God, about ourselves, and about what real healing looks like.
There is no psychological theory or clinical model that outshines the gentle power of a Savior who saw, heard, understood, and stood with the broken — and who still does.
When we observe Him closely, we begin to heal.
And we begin to see how He might use us to help others heal too.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #6 - Lifetime Access to the Essentials Blueprint
The journey doesn’t end when the 6 months are over — because healing isn’t linear, and you’re not being sent off alone.
When you complete Coming Home, you’ll still have full, lifetime access to everything inside the Essentials Blueprint: the He Is Enough book and audiobook, the Truth Over Tradition mini-course, and continued invitations to join Debra’s live reading circles whenever your heart needs a safe place to land again.
More than that — you’ll remain part of the Beyond the Hidden Barriers of Religious Trauma Circle, a nurturing, private community of women who’ve walked this same road and who continue to grow, share, and support one another with grace and truth.
Because healing takes time.
And you’ll never have to walk this journey without a circle to come home to.
“I didn’t realize how much I was still carrying until I began this journey. I thought I had dealt with my past, but the deeper I went with Debra’s guidance, the more I understood how religious trauma had shaped my faith, my relationships, and my identity. Coming Home gave me the tools, the space, and the language to finally see myself as God sees me — not as someone who failed, but someone who was deeply loved all along. It changed everything.” -Kristina T.
“I used to live in fear — fear of messing up, fear of being rejected, fear of questioning. This program gave me back my voice. Through the milestones and live coaching, I could finally say the hard things without being silenced or shamed. I’m not afraid of my faith anymore. I’ve found peace, and I know I’m not alone.” -Tekyia R.
“For so long I felt like I was the only one — like no one would understand the pain of loving God but feeling crushed by the way I’d been taught to relate to Him. Coming Home helped me put language to my experience and showed me how to unravel what wasn’t mine to carry. I feel more grounded, more free, and more connected to God than I ever thought possible. It felt like coming back to life.” -Simone F.
What Becomes Possible When You Join Us
When you step into the Growth Path, you’re no longer walking alone.
You’re surrounded by a sacred circle of women who speak your language — who have wrestled with God, questioned what they were taught, and dared to believe there might be something more beautiful on the other side of pain.
Together, we don’t just talk about healing. We walk it.
Over the next six months, you’ll begin to gently break through the false beliefs that have kept you small, afraid, or silent. You’ll learn how to recognize the voice of truth — not the one that shamed you into obedience, but the one that calls you into freedom.
You’ll practice being seen without fear, speaking without apology, and trusting the stirrings inside you as sacred.
You’ll stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start remembering, “I was never broken to begin with.”
This is where truth becomes transformation.
Where coaching becomes compassion.
Where community becomes the confirmation that you’re not crazy, not alone, and not disqualified from God’s love.
Inside this journey, you’ll begin to feel it in your bones:
You belong.
You are worthy.
You are called.
And you are coming home — to yourself, to God, and to the life you were meant to live.
Your Healing Is Worth Investing In
You don’t have to do this alone.
When you’re ready, we’ll be here — with open hands and a safe place to land.
You can begin today for a one-time payment of $397, or use our payment plan of $77/month for 6 months.
That includes:
- 6 months of live group coaching with Debra
- Full access to the Coming Home course and tools
- The complete Essentials Blueprint — yours for life
- A nurturing community that sees, supports, and walks with you
- Sacred space to heal, ask, grieve, celebrate, and grow
There’s no pressure. No rushing. No performance.
You’ll move through this journey at your own pace, in your own way — with a loving, Spirit-led circle around you.
You’re not too late. You’re not too broken. You’re not too much.
You’re right on time.

HEALING RELIGIOUS TRAUMA—BLUEPRINT #3 | RELEASED! | THE DEEP DIVE
A 3-Month Dynamic, Life-Changing Group Coaching Experience To Break Through the 12 Hidden Barriers of Religious Trauma Keeping You StuckWithin a safe, intentionally crafted healing container, you’ll experience 12 powerful, 90-minute breakthrough sessions designed to help you uncover the 12 hidden barriers of religious trauma, shift limiting beliefs into new growth mindsets, and map out clear pathways for lasting change.
What Is The Deep Dive Blueprint?
The Deep Dive Blueprint is for women who are ready for something more—more clarity, more healing, more truth, and more connection with the God they long to trust again. It’s a structured, trauma-informed group coaching program designed to help you gently confront and transform the hidden barriers religious trauma has left behind.
If you’ve found yourself stuck in old patterns—fearful, self-doubting, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward in your healing—this path was created for you.
Whether you’ve spent years trying to be the “good Christian woman” or you’ve quietly questioned if something deeper is missing…
Whether you’ve walked faithfully through church doors while silently carrying wounds no one else could see…
Whether you’ve read the books, tried the Bible studies, joined the support groups—and still felt like something was off…
Or even if you’ve held your story close for decades—afraid to share it, unsure who would listen, or fearing what it might mean if you finally said it out loud…
This is the place where you can lay it down. And begin again.
Released! is a unique, women-centered group coaching experience designed for women who long to heal from the deep, invisible harm of religious trauma without abandoning their faith or silencing their soul.
You may not have had the words for it before. But you’ve lived it:
-
The fear of being too much—and yet never enough.
-
The pressure to obey, conform, submit, stay silent.
-
The confusion between your voice and someone else’s version of “truth.”
-
The ache for real connection with God—but not knowing who to trust with your questions.
In Released!, you won’t have to keep questioning yourself or hiding behind a mask. You’ll step into a safe, structured coaching space led by someone who understands this path—not just clinically, but personally.
Together, in a small group of courageous, heart-centered women, you’ll walk through a carefully guided process designed to help you:
-
Uncover the 12 Hidden Barriers of Religious Trauma—those internal messages like I’m unworthy, I don’t belong, or I’m not lovable that have shaped your sense of self and relationship with God
-
Shift those old narratives into grounded, life-giving truth using proven mindset and self-coaching tools
-
Create a personalized roadmap to step forward with confidence, clarity, and connection—with God, with others, and with yourself
This isn’t a support group. It’s a growth space.
It’s not about venting or revisiting your pain over and over—it’s about making real, soul-level progress with compassionate support, spiritual clarity, and practical tools you can carry with you long after the program ends.
What Makes Released! Different?
There is no other program like this.
Released! was created after years of walking alongside women who loved God, tried to be faithful, and still carried silent wounds from harmful religious systems—wounds that distorted how they saw themselves, others, and God. Women who followed all the rules and yet felt more lost than ever. Women who did everything they were told… and still felt unworthy, ashamed, or invisible.
“Before this, I thought something was wrong with me. Now I can finally tell the difference between what’s mine and what was placed on me. I don’t feel crazy. I feel free.” — Kristina, program participant
This 3-month experience follows a powerful, research-based coaching structure designed for deep emotional and spiritual transformation. You’ll be guided through five distinct stages that gently dismantle the false belief systems left behind by religious trauma—and help you create real, lasting breakthroughs.
The 5 Stages Of Becoming Whole
For women ready to rise into their God-designed potential — with healing that goes deeper than surface-level change.
- 1. A Safe Place To Begin Again
- 2. Rekindling What Was Lost
- 3. Naming What's Been Holding You Back
- 4. Stepping Into Breakthrough
- 5. Becoming Who You Were Meant To Be
We begin by building the foundation: a supportive, women-centered space where you feel safe enough to be honest, held enough to let go, and supported enough to grow. In this protected environment, you’ll no longer feel like you have to perform, hide, or hold it all together. Safety isn’t just a feeling—it’s the essential ground that makes lasting healing possible.
This is where defenses soften, trust begins, and your nervous system can finally breathe. When women feel emotionally secure and spiritually grounded, growth doesn’t just happen—it accelerates.
Many women trapped in religious trauma have had their desires, dreams, and spiritual voice silenced. In this stage, you’ll reconnect with what you truly long for—outside of fear, shame, or someone else’s agenda.
With support and clarity, you’ll begin to envision a new life: emotionally free, spiritually whole, and deeply aligned with God’s love and your own integrity. This is where you reclaim your voice, name your needs, and begin shaping a future that reflects the truth of who you really are.
Each week, we shine light on one of the 12 Hidden Barriers of Religious Trauma—internalized beliefs like I’m not enough, I’m not safe, I don’t belong, or I’m not wanted or chosen. These barriers aren’t just “thoughts.” They are deeply rooted systems, planted by spiritual conditioning and reinforced by fear, silence, and distorted theology.
By gently identifying how these barriers have shaped your life, you’ll finally begin to separate what’s true from what was taught, and what’s yours from what was imposed. This stage unlocks clarity and catalyzes breakthroughs that used to take years to reach.
Lasting change requires more than insight—it takes transformation at the belief system level. In this stage, you’ll learn how to permanently shift the limiting patterns religious trauma left behind using proven mindset tools, self-coaching practices, and live group coaching that meets you where you are.
Breakthroughs here aren’t forced or performative—they emerge from compassionate witnessing, truth-telling, and the healing presence of a circle that truly understands. Once seen and released, these false beliefs lose their power—and you begin to experience real change from the inside out.
In the final stage, we don’t just celebrate your breakthroughs—we show you how to sustain them. You’ll integrate everything you’ve uncovered into a personalized Growth Pathway that supports your ongoing spiritual and emotional healing.
This includes your next steps, new boundaries, embodied truths, and the courage to walk in your God-given identity. You’ll leave not just with inspiration, but with clarity, community, and the confidence to keep becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
Extra Support For The Journey
Saying yes to healing—especially in a group setting—can feel like a big step. That’s why Released! includes six deeply intentional bonuses designed to ease your fears, support your first brave “yes,” and walk with you long after the program ends.
Each one was created with you in mind—to gently counter the objections that naturally rise when something important is at stake. Whether you’re afraid of being seen, worried about falling behind, or unsure if this will “work” for you, these bonuses are here to hold you steady, remind you you’re not alone, and help you step forward with confidence, clarity, and peace.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #1 - The Compassionate Confidence Primer
Feel safer being seen—before the first session even begins.
If the thought of sharing in a group brings up anxiety, you’re not alone. Many women carry years of silence, fear of judgment, or worry that their story is too messy to tell.
This gentle, pre-recorded audio series and companion workbook are your soft landing before we ever meet. With calming practices, mindset shifts, and tools for safe self-expression, you’ll begin to feel grounded, prepared, and more confident to step into this space—in your own timing, in your own way.
Because courage doesn’t mean showing up without fear. It means showing up with fear, and feeling supported enough to stay.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #2 - Personal Breakthrough Mapping Session With Debra
Clarity. Connection. A path that fits you.
Before group coaching begins, you’ll receive a private 1:1 session with Debra—a gentle, personal space to be seen, heard, and supported from the very start.
Together, you’ll uncover the barriers holding you back, explore the healing work you’re ready for, and co-create a personalized map to help you move forward with confidence. If you’ve ever feared being lost in the group or unsure how you fit, this session is your anchor.
This is your space to exhale, be understood, and begin with clarity.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #3 - The Hidden Scripts Vault
Access the 9 powerful coaching tools no one else gets.
As a Released! participant, you’ll unlock something extra—something not available in any other program: the full set of 21 Hidden Barrier Scripts.
While most women only receive 12 foundational scripts inside the Coming Home journey, you’ll be handed the complete collection—including 9 exclusive, rarely-shared tools that go even deeper into the subconscious beliefs holding you back.
Each script is like a mirror and a map—designed to help you dismantle false spiritual narratives, rebuild your self-trust, and root into truth with clarity and compassion. These aren’t just affirmations. They’re soul tools, grounded in research, scripture-based reframes, and trauma-informed healing.
It’s like getting the keys to the “sealed section” of the library—where the most transformative tools are tucked away for the women ready to go all in.
You won’t find these anywhere else.
And once you have them, you’ll wonder how you ever healed without them.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #4 - Personal Closing & Growth Pathway Session With Debra
Honor your breakthroughs. Embody what’s next.
At the end of your journey, you’ll meet with Debra again—this time to reflect, celebrate, and gently integrate everything you’ve uncovered.
Together, you’ll look at how far you’ve come, what’s shifted inside you, and how to carry your healing forward. Whether your next chapter involves setting new boundaries, reconnecting with purpose, or simply walking lighter and freer—you’ll leave with a plan that’s gentle, clear, and aligned with who you’re becoming.
Because healing isn’t just what you walk through. It’s who you’re becoming on the other side.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #5 - The Lamenting Series: Beauty For Ashes
A poetic healing companion to help you grieve what was lost and receive what still remains.
Most women were never taught how to name the pain of spiritual wounds. They were taught to press on. To forgive quickly. To hush their ache. But healing doesn’t begin with pretending—it begins with lament.
As part of Released!, you’ll receive exclusive early access to The Lamenting Series: Beauty for Ashes—a raw and redemptive collection of poetic reflections, soulful laments, and sacred blessings written by Debra from the heart of her own healing. These 21 practice guides gently walk you through the most common inner wounds left by religious trauma—naming each one with truth, then guiding you toward the unshakable, healing love of God.
These are not just words.
They are holy invitations to feel what’s real, speak what’s been silenced, and encounter the deep compassion of a God who trades mourning for joy.
This collection is not available anywhere else. It’s a gift for the brave ones walking through the fire—and daring to believe that beauty really can rise from the ashes.
🎉 BONUS SUPPORT #6 - Sisters' Circle Ongoing Support Pass
Healing doesn’t end here. And neither does your support.
You won’t be dropped or forgotten once the 12 weeks are over. With this bonus, you’ll receive access to a private space inside the Sisters’ Circle—just for women who’ve completed Released!.
It’s a quiet, grounded place to continue receiving encouragement, share your wins, ask for support, and stay connected with women who truly understand. Because healing doesn’t happen on a schedule—it happens in community, over time, with people who walk beside you.
Real Stories. Lasting Breakthroughs.
What Happens When Women Stop Hiding and Start Healing
You’re not the only one who’s wrestled with fear, shame, confusion, or silence. Inside this beautiful collection of real case studies, you’ll meet women who once felt stuck, too—until they stepped into this supportive space and began to break through the hidden barriers that had been holding them back for years.
These are not polished success stories.
They’re real stories of becoming—raw, honest, and full of hope.
Come see what’s possible.
It just might feel like reading your own story… a few chapters ahead.

Case Study Excerpts – Winter Cohort 2025
Tekyia R.
I came into the sessions feeling fragile and unsure. Debra’s presence was so grounding—gentle but firm. She knew exactly when to speak truth and when to just let me be. That balance is rare. It was the safest I’ve ever felt in a spiritual setting. This experience gave me back my voice. I was able to name what had always felt confusing and finally separate what was true from what was taught. I wasn’t just healing—I was becoming who I was always meant to be. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
Kristina T.
Before coaching, I didn’t realize how much I was still performing. The process helped me understand my patterns and rewire my responses. I wasn’t handed answers—I was walked with until I could find them myself. I didn’t even realize how much I’d internalized — how much shame and fear were still running the show. I didn’t just feel coached; I felt seen. The space held for me allowed things to surface—things I’d buried so deep I didn’t even have language for them. It changed everything.
Simone F.
I wasn’t pushed to perform or prove—I was invited to see myself with new eyes. Coaching gave me tools, but more than that, it gave me space to feel, question, and reconnect. I finally began to trust my own voice again. There was something about the way the questions were asked—so thoughtful, so Spirit-led—it was like seeing my life through God’s eyes, not my fears. In every session, a layer of old programming lifted. I stopped apologizing for who I am.
What Becomes Possible When You Join Us
When you say yes to this journey, something begins to shift.
You’ll no longer be held back by invisible scripts that say you’re too broken, too late, or too much.
You’ll begin to reclaim what religious trauma tried to steal: your voice, your value, your connection to God, and your own inner compass.
As the 12 hidden barriers fall away, you’ll experience what it means to be deeply supported, emotionally grounded, and spiritually anchored—not because you followed the rules, but because you came home to the truth of who you are.
You’ll no longer need to prove your worth, hide your questions, or carry the burden alone.
You’ll feel the difference in your body, your relationships, your prayer life, and your choices.
You’ll start to believe—really believe—that God’s love doesn’t come with conditions… and neither does your belonging.
And most of all?
You’ll finally stop surviving.
And start becoming.
Your Healing Is Worth Investing In
If something inside you is whispering this is for me, trust that nudge.
Released! isn’t for everyone. But if you’re ready for a space that honors both your story and your faith, offers structure and depth, and walks with you through real transformation—this might be your next right step.
We begin with a simple application—not to screen you out, but to make sure this is truly the space that fits where you are and what you need. Because every woman’s voice matters, and this circle is built on trust, safety, and shared commitment.
The next cohort begins fall 2025.
Spots are limited, and each one is reserved for a woman ready to walk forward—slowly, gently, boldly—into the life she was always meant to live.

“Sharing wisdom from our stories to support you in finding yours.”

Hi, I'm Debra—your host and guide on this journey. Creating the Healing Religious Trauma Circle has been a deeply held dream of mine for a long time.
I’m here because I believe in you—your strength, your resilience, and your God-given ability to rise above the stories and systems that have kept you stuck. Not just for your own healing, but for those you love and those whose lives you’re meant to touch.
If I had to sum up my mission, it would be this: I want you to know who God truly is—and just as importantly, who He isn’t—so nothing keeps you from becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
But this path? I didn’t plan it. If you had asked me as a little girl what I wanted to be when I grew up, I probably would’ve said “camp counselor” and called it good. I never imagined I’d be helping women heal from spiritual wounds they don’t always have words for.
Then life happened. A hidden form of high-control religion devastated my family and brought me to the edge of my emotional and spiritual capacity. That breaking point became a turning point. What came next was harder: slowly realizing that much of what I believed about God, myself, and love had been shaped by fear, silence, and pressure to be someone I wasn’t.
I wasn’t walking away from my faith—I was trying to find what was real. Not the version that required me to shrink, strive, or perform… but one rooted in love, not fear. In truth, not pressure. In belonging, not shame.
Through that journey, I uncovered what I now call the 12 Hidden Barriers of Religious Trauma—deep, internalized beliefs like “I’m not enough,” “I don’t belong,” “I’m unlovable,” “I’m too much,” or “I’ll always be alone.” These beliefs weren’t born in us. They were planted, reinforced, and spiritualized. And like so many women of faith, I carried them for years, thinking they were true.
Inside the Circle, we begin to name and heal these barriers together. We talk about the real struggles—religious trauma, yes—but also the day-to-day battles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, emotional overwhelm, backsliding, and the ache of feeling invisible or unworthy. We don’t skip over those parts here. We transform them.
This is not about rebellion. It’s about returning—to your voice, your identity, your connection with God and others. To the version of you that’s always been there, waiting to breathe again.
I know how precious your time and energy are—and I also know the fear of investing in something that might not help. That’s why this Circle isn’t just content. It’s community. It’s clarity. It’s coaching. It’s change.
You don’t have to walk away from your faith to heal. You don’t have to figure this out alone. You’re not too much. You’re not too broken. And you’re not too late.
So please—come all the way in. Sit all the way down. Make yourself at home. We’re saving you a seat. And I can’t wait to hear your story.
—Debra Shafer, Author, Women’s Religious Trauma Coach, Mount Shasta, California, U.S.A.
Hi there, I’m Faith Gor.
I’m so glad you found your way here.
As a Mental Health Coach, Speaker, Psychology student, and survivor of sexual trauma, I’m deeply passionate about helping others see the light beyond their darkest moments.
My mission is to remind you that you can thrive no matter what you’ve gone through. Trauma doesn’t define you- God does. I know firsthand how isolating it can feel when shame dominates your life, trapping you in a cycle of low self-worth, people-pleasing, toxic relationships, codependency, underachievement, overcompensation, and living beneath the weight of trauma, and feeling like you’re not enough.
But here’s the truth- you deserve healing, love, and freedom. You don’t have to live in the prison of trauma anymore. You have the strength within you, and I’m here to walk with you every step of the way as you rise above trauma. This space is yours, where you’re Seen, Heard, and Supported. Together, we’ll unlock your strength, rediscover your joy, and move toward the life you deserve- a life where you don’t just survive but truly thrive.
Come on in. Take your place in this Circle. There’s so much waiting for you here, and I can’t wait to journey with you.
—Faith Gor, Speaker, Common Sense Psychology Coach, Mental Health Coach & Women-Centered Coaching Specialist

Hey! I’m Tekyia, and I’m so excited you are here!
I am an overcomer of narcissistic abuse and your sister-in-healing along this journey.
I know by experience the confusion and pain of losing your identity and sense of purpose in life. But I want you to know there is hope. There is hope for more beyond the abuse. You can truly heal and become the woman that God created you to be. You can walk in your true purpose with confidence that no one will be able to steal from you again.
My mission is to help you become healed, empowered, and whole as you discover your identity and worth after experiencing the soul-crushing effects of narcissistic abuse by connecting to the true Source—God.
It is my pleasure to help you unravel and discard the false narratives and beliefs that have been ruling your life for far too long. It is time to write a new and true story! I cannot wait to connect with you and support you on this life-transforming journey.

Still Have Questions? Let’s Talk About It.
How do I know if what I've experienced is religious trauma?
What is religious trauma, really?
If you’ve ever felt afraid of God’s disappointment… silenced by spiritual leaders… unsure if your thoughts, feelings, or questions were even allowed — you may be carrying religious trauma.
Religious trauma doesn’t always come from something extreme. Sometimes it comes from years of being told you’re bad, too much, not enough, or that obedience matters more than your voice. It often shows up as anxiety, guilt, spiritual confusion, or the nagging fear that you’re “not doing faith right.”
If you’ve ever walked out of church feeling smaller than when you walked in, you’re not alone. What you’ve experienced matters — and there is healing available. Inside this community, you’ll learn how to gently name what’s been hidden, understand why it’s not your fault, and begin building a relationship with God (and yourself) that feels like love, not fear.
What if I want healing, but I'm scared to take the first step?
I want this, but what if it’s too much?
You’re not broken for feeling afraid. Taking a step toward healing — especially when your wounds came in the name of God — takes more courage than most people realize.
This isn’t a program that pushes you to be “ready.” Readiness here simply means being open. Open to sitting with your story. Open to asking new questions. Open to believing that maybe… just maybe… God is more loving than you were taught.
In Coming Home, you’ll be met with gentleness, not pressure. You’ll be surrounded by women who understand what it feels like to be scared, cautious, or unsure — and who found clarity, connection, and freedom by taking the journey one small step at a time. You don’t have to rush. You just have to begin.
How do I know which healing path or blueprint is right for me?
What if I choose the wrong level?
You don’t have to have it all figured out. That’s exactly why we created this three-tiered journey — so you could begin right where you are, without fear of choosing “wrong.”
If you’re just starting to put words to your experience, the Essentials Blueprint offers a gentle foundation. If you’re ready for deeper transformation, the Coming Home: Growth Path Blueprint takes you step-by-step through the 12 Hidden Barriers of Religious Trauma with community and coaching support. And when you’re ready to dive even deeper into intensive healing and personal coaching, the Deep Dive Blueprint will be here to guide you.
Still unsure? You’re not alone. You can take the quiz or email us directly, and we’ll help you choose the blueprint that meets your heart, not just your history.
What makes this program different from therapy or self-help books?
I’ve already done a lot of work — will this actually help me?
Yes — and here’s why.
Many women in our Circle have tried therapy, coaching, Bible studies, and self-help programs before. And while those tools are valuable, they often don’t speak to the spiritual confusion and internalized fear that religious trauma creates.
This isn’t about information. This is about transformation.
The Coming Home experience leads you through a proven, soul-centered process that helps you gently unravel the trauma you’ve carried, rewire false beliefs, and rebuild your relationship with God and yourself from the ground up. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about restoring you to the woman you were always meant to be.
And the best part? You’re not doing it alone.
How much time does this program take?
I want to heal, but my life already feels full.
We understand — your time, energy, and emotional bandwidth are sacred. That’s why this program is designed to be both structured and flexible, so you can go at a pace that feels sustainable for your real life.
- The Essentials Blueprint is completely self-paced. You can move through the book, mini-course, and reading circle invitations on your own timeline.
- The Growth Path Blueprint includes 6 months of access to Debra’s 12-week signature course and 12 live coaching sessions — with plenty of space to pause, reflect, and re-engage as needed.
- The Deep Dive Blueprint offers a more immersive 3-month experience with small-group coaching and personal mentoring support.
You don’t have to keep up. You just have to keep going — in your own way, with a circle that walks beside you.
What if I join and realize I'm not ready?
What happens if I need to pause?
That’s okay. Really.
Healing doesn’t move in straight lines — and here, you’re never expected to show up perfectly. If you join and realize you need to slow down, pause, or take smaller steps, we’ll honor that with you. There’s no punishment here. No shame. No expiration date on your process.
You’ll still have access to everything you’ve received in the Essentials Plan and an entire 6 months to complete the Coming Home Experience — and we’ll help you find the rhythm that feels right for your nervous system, your story, and your life. You’re allowed to heal at your own pace, and we’ll be here when you’re ready for more.
What if I can't afford the full program right now?
Is there a way to start small or pay over time?
We know what it’s like to want healing and wonder if you can stretch toward it.
That’s why we’ve created multiple ways to say yes — without financial pressure. You can begin with the Essentials Blueprint for just $17, or enroll in the Growth Path using a flexible monthly payment plan. We’ve done everything we can to make this work accessible without sacrificing quality, depth, or care.
And if you’re still unsure, reach out. We’ll walk with you to see what’s possible. Your healing is worth investing in — and you don’t have to carry that burden alone.
Do I have to be religious or Christian to join?
What if I’ve left the church… or still love Jesus, but don’t know what I believe anymore?
You are welcome here — exactly as you are.
Whether you’ve stayed in church, left completely, or feel somewhere in between, this space was created for women like you. Coming Home doesn’t demand a particular belief system. It gently helps you separate God from the pain people caused in His name — so you can rediscover what’s real, what’s good, and what your heart truly longs for.
This is a faith-informed, not rule-bound space. And you don’t have to know what you believe to begin healing. All you need is the desire to find truth, safety, and connection again — with God, or with your own soul.
Is this a Christian program? What kind of faith is this based on?
Will I be expected to follow certain doctrines or beliefs?
This program is rooted in a compassionate, Christ-centered understanding of healing — but it’s not religious, dogmatic, or demanding. We don’t teach one “right way” to believe. We simply hold space for you to unravel false teachings, reconnect with a God of unconditional love, and rebuild your spiritual life on truth that brings peace, not pressure.
Many women in our community still love Jesus, but don’t recognize the version of Him they were taught. Others are just now discovering that faith can be spacious, personal, and free.
You get to decide what faith looks like for you. We’re just here to walk beside you as you find your way.
What if I'm too scared to share my story?
I’m afraid to open up. Will I be pushed to participate?
You don’t have to say a single word to heal here.
In our live coaching sessions, you’ll always have the option to observe quietly — what we call “side-door coaching” — where just listening to another woman’s breakthrough can unlock your own. Many women find their deepest healing in those moments, without ever unmuting themselves.
There’s no pressure to share, and no expectation to process anything you’re not ready for. Your pace is sacred here. And your silence is never mistaken for weakness — it’s often the soil where transformation begins.
I still have questions. Can I talk to someone before joining?
Absolutely.
You’re not just buying a course — you’re stepping into a journey that matters. And you deserve to feel supported before you take that step. Feel free to reach out anytime at debra@healingreligioustrauma.org. We’ll listen, respond with care, and help you discern if this is the right next step for your healing journey.
You don’t have to make this decision alone. We’re already holding space for you.
