Many well-meaning and sometimes not so well-meaning folks in churches, religious organizations, family, work, friendship, and social media will use several common phrases that are toxic to trauma survivors when they see them struggling. Most of us have heard some or all of these phrases at some point. These phrases can be dismissive and harmful, and they can even be re-traumatizing. This talk helps you identify potentially toxic religious phrases that can cause harm, it helps you better understand the impacts these phrases often have, we discuss healthier affirmations of truth you can tell yourself instead, and then we discuss how you can start to find coping strategies and heal from toxic religious community, phrases, and experiences. Lastly, we discuss the most important step of all, differentiating between God's voice and toxic voices in the religious community, and we cover ways to start restoring your relationship with God so you can separate God's truth and voice from toxic religious phrases.
