Healing Begins Here:
Join the Movement to Transform How You Treat Religious Trauma
Religious trauma is real. And for too long, it’s been ignored in clinical spaces—misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and left to fester under labels like anxiety, depression, or low self-worth.
But that’s about to change
This soon-to-be-released book, published by PESI Publishing and written by psychotherapist and theologian Ann Russo, LCSW, MA Theology, introduces the Religious Trauma Treatment Model (RTTM)—a powerful, evidence-based framework that merges science, compassion, and clinical insight to address the identity-level wounds left by high-control religious systems.
Designed for both mental health professionals and survivors, this book fills a major gap in trauma literature and clinical training.
What You’ll Find Inside
- A trauma model that integrates CBT, DBT, ACT, and REBT to treat religious trauma
- Real case studies, exercises, and worksheets designed for therapy settings
- Guidance on handling shame, sexual repression, existential dread, and moral injury
- A culturally sensitive, affirming approach for LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC survivors, and anyone navigating the deep impacts of faith-based harm
