November 16, 1:00 – 2:30 pm in the Sanctuary. We can all agree that having a religious tradition has many upsides: being a part of a community, having a belief in something bigger than yourself, participating in meaningful traditions, and having a set of values all serve to give life meaning. But when a person, a community, or a set of doctrine associated with that religion causes harm, the harm cuts deeply into our sense of ourselves, our sense of belonging in the world, and even our place in eternity. This is a topic that every person of faith should be informed about. Come join Psychologist Amy Nydam and Provisional Psychologist Paige Cahill for a workshop that will cover the basics of what Religious Trauma is and how it shows up individually, interpersonally, communally, and existentially. Whether you have experiences of Religious Trauma personally, know someone who has, or just want to learn more so that you can support those around you, you are welcome. If you have any questions about this workshop, please contact Rev. Karen Bridges at karen.bridges@rwuc.org
