Re: not carrying shame from purity culture: Easier said than done. Think of it like slowly filling a jar with encouraging things to remind yourself of when you hear that purity culture voice chiming in.
This is just a thought I had while working on a new blog post. I don't know how I feel about this reel format but here goes 😅

Healing is a lifelong process, and I don’t believe therapists have to be "finished products" to do this work. We just need to be committed to our own growth.

🖤I’ve been in therapy for 10 years, and I don’t plan to stop.
🦇I didn’t fully acknowledge I was nonbinary and bisexual until I left the religion I was raised in.
🖤Dyeing my hair and dressing how I want helps my mental health.
🦇I married young due to purity culture and divorced at 24. I later remarried with full agency.
🖤 I was a parentified child, and with two kids of my own, I’m always unpacking how that could be showing up in my parenting.
🦇 I’m a highly emotional person, and I sing and write songs to channel my emotions in a positive way.
🖤 I love a good rant to my loved ones. I’m not over here being perfectly “chill” about everything. Just human.
🦇Some experiences don’t fully reveal their impact until years later. After childbirth, I began to process parts of my past I had mostly shoved down.
🖤I’ve learned that family isn’t just about blood. It’s about love and respect. My chosen family means everything to me.
🦇There are still parts of my story I keep private, and I’m not ashamed of that either.

I see it all the time in religious trauma therapy:

People don’t feel safe telling their family they no longer share their beliefs. They want to have the conversation when they’re ready, but live in fear of being “found out” too soon....often while they’re still figuring out what they actually believe.

And then there’s the guilt… for “lying.”

Gently, ask yourself:

🖤Where did you learn you need to confess this change?
🖤Where did you learn you aren’t allowed a private inner world?

You are allowed to take your time. You are allowed privacy.

Having a few quick go-to phrases ready can help you feel more confident and protected heading into the holidays. 💛
