For the deconstructed, the questioning, and anyone dating outside the lines they were raised in.

ExcommuniDate: Life & Love After Religion
6. Grief, Queer Identity, and Art Therapy ft. Caitlin Torres Graham
Caitlin Torres Graham regularly works with people who are grieving, whether that’s coming out, loss, death or, you guessed it, leaving a high-demand religion. As a trauma-informed art therapist, Caitlin works particularly with those grappling with their queer identity for the first time. Leaving behind a conservative religion has a lot of parallels and can leave behind a lot of trauma and fear.
On this episode, Caitlin joins the show to talk about how art expression can be a tool to go from survive to thrive, helping foster a sense of identity and psychological safety along the way. Plus, what can dill pickles and painting teach us about our boundaries and ourselves? Listen in to find out!
