Reviews
Sam’s online course “Understanding Religious Trauma” is comprehensive, interesting and heartfelt. She communicates from personal experience, provides useful summaries on what we know about the complexities of religious trauma, as well as allowing a deeper dive if that’s what you need. Through her work as a religious trauma therapist, her podcast hearing people’s stories of recovery and through her personal networks, she knows this topic inside out. If you’re wanting to find language and understanding, and importantly, a queer voice on religious trauma, Sam’s course is highly recommended.

“Doing this religious trauma training helped gain greater understanding to the nuances with someone experiencing religious trauma. It provided clear cultural language and key processes to consider when working with clients who experience this type of trauma. This self-paced training expanded my awareness beyond my own religious experiences. Understanding this landscape is much trickier than I realised. I look forward to future training programs to continue my development around religious trauma.”

“I found this training course to be deeply insightful in understanding how to further support individuals navigating the complexities of religious trauma and LGBTQIA+ identities. The course was exceptionally clear, concise, and easy to follow. Its thoughtfully structured content presented each concept in a straightforward and accessible way, which is particularly helpful for therapists new to this area, like myself. With its well-rounded and trauma-informed approach, the course provides fundamental perceptions and practical tools to enhance therapeutic practices. I highly recommend this training by Sam.”

“The Religious Trauma & The LGBTQIA+ Community course is an essential resource for practitioners committed to affirming trauma-informed care. As a cis-gendered woman without lived experience, I found it particularly valuable in bridging knowledge gaps and enhancing confidence in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients in my therapy practice. The training provides clear, practical explanations of terminology, ensuring practitioners use affirming language with confidence. Sam provides insights into the unique challenges faced by the intersection of religious trauma and the LGBTQIA+ community. A key takeaway was the importance of active allyship, going beyond just avoiding harm to fostering healing and advocacy in all spaces.”
