In this episode of 90834, Ashley shares her story of how therapy helped her overcome the anxiety and fear of judgment that she experienced as a result of her religious upbringing. Ashley was part of a  Fundamental Christian community, where she was taught that she was constantly being judged by God and that she had to be perfect in order to be loved. This led to intense anxiety and self-doubt, which ultimately caused her to spiral into depression. In therapy, Ashley began to challenge the harmful beliefs she had internalized from her religious activities. She learned that she is not constantly being judged by God and that she is worthy of love just as she is. Ashley's story is a powerful reminder that religious trauma is real and that it can have a significant impact on our mental health. If you are struggling with religious trauma, please know that you are not alone and that there is help available. This episode explores the following topics: * The impact of purity culture on mental health * The transformative power of therapy * The importance of self-awareness and self-acceptance
