Description

Religion can be a powerful and supportive experience. But some of your clients experienced something quite different. Exposed to rigid, toxic and controlling beliefs in their families, churches and other relationships, they’re left struggling to unpack the resulting trauma, loss of self and twisted web of feelings and emotions about themselves. In this session, view Candice Richardson Dickens for a deeper understanding of one of the most overlooked forms of abuse and how we as therapists can recognize the signs and respond.
