Description

In many religious traditions, God is believed to be responsive to the needs of believers, and in difficult times, believers turn to their religious beliefs for comfort, security, and guidance.

When God is viewed as a protective parental figure that can shield us from harm if we are pious or devoted enough, what happens to faith – and healing – when this form of God fails to provide that protection? How can we help friends and family who experience cognitive dissonance when their religious beliefs – whether inherited or chosen – do not match up with their lived experience?

This presentation examines the ways in which religious beliefs can be more harmful than helpful for traumatized or bereaved individuals. We will explore therapeutic tools and healing practices to help someone in spiritual crisis to consider new religious concepts that are more supportive and inclusive.
