6 Week Support Group for Faith Deconstruction, Political Anxiety, & Relationship Challenges
This is a space intended for folks (LGBTQIA+ and affirming individuals) who have experienced faith deconstruction or adverse religious experiences and are now navigating anxiety, fear, and relational strain in the wake of the 2024 election.
If you’re feeling the weight of uncertainty and increased tension—or unsafe—with religious family members due to conflicting values and beliefs, this group offers a supportive space to process these challenges in community.
Each session will focus on group discussion, exploring shared themes that emerge from participants' experiences, opportunities to provide support to group members and receive support, along with moments of grounding to close out each group session.
This group might be for you if:
Recent political events and enactment of harmful policies have heightened your anxiety, especially in relation to religious and conservative communities.
You feel isolated or misunderstood by friends or family members due to differences in values, identity, or beliefs.
You’re finding it difficult to set or maintain boundaries with religious family members.
Conversations about faith and politics with loved ones often leave you feeling unsafe, drained, anxious, or unheard.
Recent events have increased grief and discomfort related to past pain experienced in religious environments.
You want a space where you can openly process your experiences with others who have similar experiences and an interest in mutual support and understanding.
