Laura Anderson is a Licensed Psychotherapist with a private practice in Nashville, TN and an Abuse and Trauma Resolution Coach for clients outside of Tennessee.

Her primary clientele deal with complex trauma, including intimate partner violence, sexual abuse and assault and religious trauma.

Laura is the co-founder of the Religious Trauma Institute and is a PhD Candidate; her research is in the experience of living in a healed body after sexual trauma.

Laura is the author of two educational manuals: one on the topic of domestic violence and the other for clinicians and other healers regarding religious trauma, including how to work with clients who are hoping to heal from religious abuse and trauma.

When she’s not working or writing her dissertation, Laura enjoys spending time with her dog, Phoebe, hiking, being outdoors and spending time with her friends.

In this episode, we touch on the topics of religious trauma, purity culture and sexual abuse, religion and politics, gaslighting within religious systems, taking steps in deconstructing beliefs, the problem with comparing traumas, and more.
