Just between friends, I wish I could say, I chose my life work when I was a little girl. You know, raised my hand and shouted, “This is what I want to be when I grow up, kind of thing.”

But truth be told, if I knew then, what I know now, it would have terrified me. How could someone raise their hand in their tender years, and say, “When I grow up, I want to help people heal from spiritual abuse and religious trauma.”

Who does that? No one.

These kinds of missions, held deep within a heart, burning in their bones, are only discovered after a lifetime of experiences.

Unfortunately, for me, that means a lifetime of spiritual abuse and religious trauma which I never signed up for (but God foresaw the plan and I would have it no other way – Thank you, God).

So, I can’t say, I’ve raised my hand for this work.

But I can say, it is work I – can’t – not – do (sorry grammar geeks).

I’m uniquely equipped.

Short talk for… been there… done that.

Deep within my soul, I want the truth to be told about God.

Who He is, and who He isn’t.

I want to help people who’ve been held by a lifetime of generational spiritual abuse and religious trauma. I want to help them see past tradition, spurious ideas, and false indoctrination, right into the beautiful light of truth found in God’s Unconditional Merciful Love.

 

    👉 I’m here to spark change without severing our sacred ties to God.

    👉 I’m here to have these long-overdue conversations.

    👉 I’m here to give language to what is so hard to say.

 

And, although you may not believe it right now, we are ALL a part of this conversation.

It’s time we begin to understand what religious trauma is and embark upon a healing journey of freedom from it.

 

 👉 From indoctrinated false belief systems and the trauma patterns that follow.

TO

👉 Finding a meaningful, inspired deeply connected life.

 

The work I do helps people unravel the trauma, instill the truth, and create a new story for their lives. It may help you, or someone you know and love.

I’ve come to realize in this work, that the greater part of people who are suffering, one way or another, surrounding religious trauma, are wholly unaware of it.

You know… eyes closed 🙈, sleeping 😴.

Ears closed 🙉, in denial 🫷.

Lukewarm 💧, exposed but don’t know they’re naked 🫨🫣.

Get it?

There are gross misrepresentations of God happening all around, yet we remain silent.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve given a talk about it and people always think I’m talking about someone else, or some other group.

You might be thinking that right now and that’s OK. It takes getting into it a bit, and then just like clockwork…

-the light 💡 bulb turns on!

-oh, you’re talking about me 👩🏻, -and us 👨🏾‍🦳👩🏻‍🦰🧓🏻👩🏿‍🦱👱🏻👳🏾‍♂️.

The reason this subject is so difficult to face is that it touches “The Sacred Parts Of Our Souls.”

The parts where even angels fear to tread. The parts of us that are only reserved for God.

And, sometimes, the parts of us where “well-meaning” people have meddled and violated.

I’m here to tell you there is a beautiful and glorious remedy for all these things.

And it doesn’t involve being critical, harsh, or unloving. Not at all.

It just takes being able to “see God” for who He truly is, -and isn’t.

Onward with courage,

Debra 🥰💕
