Overview

Religious trauma often hides under the words “I had a good childhood.” Behind that phrase are minimized emotions, obedience at all costs, and silenced identity. These experiences leave invisible wounds that show up later as anxiety, depression, dissociation, and unresolved attachment pain.

This training is for EMDR therapists who are ready to go deeper. You’ll learn how to recognize the hidden cost of obedience, how purity culture and spiritual abuse shape belief systems, and how to integrate EMDR interventions at every phase of treatment.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

  • Define religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and the impact of purity culture.

  • Recognize how “the good childhood” can mask emotional neglect, shame, and obedience wounds.

  • Identify belief-driven blocking behaviors and negative cognitions that emerge from religious trauma.

  • Apply EMDR interventions across all 8 phases of treatment, with belief-focused interweaves.

  • Address shame, obedience dynamics, and spiritual wounds within the EMDR framework.

  • Strengthen your competence when supporting clients through deconstruction, cult recovery, or faith transition
