Evolving From Religious Trauma – Releases Today!

Evolving From Religious Trauma – Releases Today! 2024-06-03T18:11:56-06:00 Karl J. Forehand

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

It’s finally time! The paperback releases tomorrow. We hope this will be a resource used way into the future. It is written for the normal person deconstructing, asking questions, and trying to heal!

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?

We also have a “Treasure Trove” of free resources on our website, including the speeches from “What Women Know About Trauma (thedesertsanctuary.org).

 

 

Who is this book for? It is for all of you who have stepped out on your journey and realized some work is involved, and there isn’t much of a well-worn path. Sometimes, people want to argue theology instead of appropriating mind/body healing, which is simple but not easy.

As we have continued to record our journey into this uncharted territory, certain things have become distilled and more straightforward than before. This book attempts to present this information in a readable, understandable format.

So, whether you are a broken-hearted ex-pastor who feels some guilt and shame about the past or a single mother who lost relationships and support when you shared your changing beliefs, this book can be a roadmap to addressing the trauma you carry in your body. Whether you consider yourself an atheist, agnostic, struggling Christian, or a spiritual nomad, you are all welcome to explore here and find your way.

You don’t need to organize, start something new, or contribute money. Just sit back and consider the information we have gathered to make your journey more effective. It won’t give you an iron-clad manifesto or creed to follow, but it may save you some time as your path reveals itself.

Before we start, please accept the challenge of trusting yourself more, even if it’s only a little initially. Your developing intuition is as essential as trusted guides that will be there when you need them.

Be where you are, be who you are, and be at peace,
