I was recently invited to be a guest on The Place you Can Say It, a podcast from the Religious Trauma Network (RTN). We talked about so many important topics including:
- Neurodivergence – what is it and how can neurodivergence intersect with religious experiences?
- The term “church hurt” and why I don’t believe it’s an accurate description for many people’s experiences with religious beliefs, practices, or structures.
- The interconnected relationship between body shame and purity culture.
- What supportive therapy can look like for those who have experienced religious trauma, and some tips for finding a qualified religious trauma therapist.
Who am I? I’m Michelle F. Moseley, LCMHC, a licensed mental health counselor in NC who specializes in working with survivors of religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and other types of religious harm. I also work with folks around concerns related to body image, neurodivergence, and how all these things can intersect. I’m a member of the Advisory Panel for RTN and was excited to have this conversation with others involved with this work.
