Religious trauma affects one-third of U.S. adults, including Erin Ajayi and myself.
Friends since college, Erin and I reconnected in 2023 and learned we were building ourselves up after our respective experiences with religion. We recognized there is still much to process, even 17 years outside our shared youth group experience.
I invited Erin to share these experiences with the Not a Fit for Our Publication audience. I am grateful she accepted.
So, this week, I threw writing to the wayside in exchange for the first of many conversations with Erin.
In parts, we break down our relationship with religion, including how we got involved, how we left and how we had very different experiences under the same belief system.
Our shared goal is to advance our healing, educate others and, most importantly, help those with religious trauma feel seen.
Thank you for listening.
