Psychoeducation and Process Group
This group is for queer and trans adults, (18+), who have lived experiences with religious trauma related to purity culture. Meetings are held virtually and offer a supportive, affirming space for participants to explore and process how these experiences have shaped identity, sexuality, and self-worth. Each session includes a brief check-in, guided content, group discussion, and a closing reflection. Participants are invited to share their experiences while building connection with others who understand.
This group aims to support participants in examining and deconstructing harmful beliefs rooted in purity culture. Through psychoeducation and shared processing, members will explore the impacts of trauma, shame, and internalized messages while building self-compassion, agency, and more affirming beliefs.
