Religious Trauma in the LGBTQ Community, Part 1: The Signs and Patterns You Carry

Religious trauma doesn’t always end when you leave religion or come out. For many LGBTQ people, the patterns formed early on continue to shape how you think, feel, and relate to others.

In Part 1 of this 3-part series, Dustin breaks down the hidden psychological patterns of religious trauma in the LGBTQ community. From chronic shame and hypervigilance to perfectionism, emotional disconnection, and feeling like you’re always “not enough,” this episode explores why these patterns develop and how they persist long after coming out.

If you’ve ever felt like something is still off, even after accepting your identity, this episode can help you understand what those patterns are.

*This episode is safe for those still connected to their faith.
