RELIGIOUS TRAUMA INVENTORY
This is a list of common thoughts, beliefs, and fears that religious trauma survivors experience. As you go through the list, notice any body sensations, emotional reactions, or automatic thoughts that might be clues about how religious trauma is impacting you.
If you connected with multiple items on this list, you’ve definitely had some adverse religious experiences. If you noticed signs of nervous system activation while completing this inventory (i.e. fast heart rate, tightness of chest, stomach ache, shoulder tension, etc.), you've likely experienced religious trauma. Take a moment to focus on regulating and try to offer yourself gentle compassion. Counseling with a trauma-informed therapist is highly recommended.
