What is Religious Trauma and How Psychotherapy Can Help w/ Mellissa Perry Hill LPC [Episode 149]
Mellissa Perry Hill joins Paul Krauss MA LPC to discuss the many elements of religious trauma, her own story of leaving Mormonism and the Church, as well as how Psychotherapy can help those who have been traumatized, and feel isolated, disillusioned, or existentially lost after a faith transition.
Mellissa Perry Hill grew up in Southern California in a large family, heavily involved in high control conservative religion. She went on to attend college at Brigham Young University-Idaho where she studied sociology and family studies. She then spent 10 years as a stay at home parent. Life pivoted for Mellissa when she experienced a divorce and faith transition and began her own work in therapy.
She spent 5 years as an educator while obtaining her masters degree in professional counseling. She has spent the last 4 years specializing her practice to help others going through major unexpected life transitions, finding healing in the present moment and creating futures that align with their core values. Mellissa’s personal experiences, combined with her specialized expertise and focused study, create a uniquely supportive and effective clinical practice for individuals navigating major life transitions.
