 #ReligiousTrauma #psychology #counselling #healing If you’re a toxic #purityculture survivor, do yourself a favour and watch #SexEducation on Netflix. You may have to watch it in small bits, honoring your comfort level. What I love is how effortlessly it normalizes all aspects of #sexuality. Truly a great show!

 #ReligiousTrauma #exchristian #secular #humanist #psychology #freedom #counselor #BeYourSelf It’s OK to:
Reject your family’s beliefs
Embrace your Queer self
Mourn the loss of the family you wish you had
Explore things formerly forbidden
Turn down family gatherings
Enjoy sex (solo & with multiple others)
Miss your old community
Build your own community
Get mad
Rest
Love.
