      <image:title>Blog - Religious Trauma: What It Is and How to Heal - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Daniel Rusco, LMHC, Religious Trauma Therapist in Seattle &amp; Washington State I help adults heal the impact of religious trauma, high-control faith systems, and shame-based teachings through a relational, psychoanalytic approach. Instead of just managing symptoms, I guide you in understanding the roots of your fear, guilt, and self-doubt so you can rebuild self-trust, identity, and emotional freedom. If you’re deconstructing or recovering from harmful religion, therapy can help you feel grounded and whole again.</image:caption>
