2.3. Finding Connection After Leaving Religion: The Power of Community in Healing Religious Trauma

Mindful Deconstruction - Rebuild Your Life After Religion by Jeremy West

Episode notes

One of the most crucial aspects of healing from religious trauma: finding community. Leaving a faith often means losing a built-in support system, which can lead to feelings of isolation and uncertainty.

Jeremy shares strategies for creating new networks of support, whether through online groups, local meetups, or mindfulness circles.

Discover how community can serve as a "campfire" during dark times, providing warmth, understanding, and a safe space for rebuilding after leaving religious frameworks.
