Breaking the Rule to Always Say Yes: Reclaiming Intuition from Religious Trauma
Why were women taught to always say yes, even when their intuition screamed no?

Heck yeah, “My Body is a Temple” | What women exvangelicals, exmormons, recovering catholics, and former jehovah’s witnesses need to recover from religious trauma and fully enjoy our bodies
Have you ever been told “your body is a temple” in a way that left you feeling ashamed, restricted, or disconnected from yourself? For many of us, this is part of our religious trauma.
