Brandy Murray, LCSW, MSW
EMDR & Religious Trauma Therapist
I know what it's like to feel stuck. I know what it's like to carry the heavy burden that you didn't consent to holding. If you 're seeking a religious trauma therapist, you're most likely in one of two camps:
You're here looking for yet another therapist to help with the pain of a harmful self-perception
Or...
you've never done the therapy thing before. But you know something needs to change- because you've been carrying all this guilt around for too long without any support. Maybe you've considered giving up a time or two- and that's why you're here. Either way, you're exhausted. And that makes sense.
EMDR for Religious Trauma in IL and MO
Empowering individuals to heal, deconstruct, and break religious and generational trauma
Get ready to redefine what spirituality means to you.
I use evidence-based and holistic trauma-informed therapy in Illinois for individuals ready to heal from religious wounds and redefine their spiritual identity.
My areas of expertise include EMDR, religious trauma, childhood attachment wounds, and esoteric exploration.
You've moved beyond the confines of religious indoctrination. You've gained maturity and knowledge recognizing that you no longer align with the bigotry often associated with it. Yet, there are moments when you long for that connection to your version of God/Spirit/Source Energy.
As a religious trauma and EMDR therapist, I’m here to support you in reclaiming your spiritual identity. You don’t need to choose between extremes. This is your journey, and you have the freedom to define your beliefs.
A Message from Brandy Murray, LCSW
Connecting with divine guidance outside of traditional religion is not only possible, but you can also discover the divinity within yourself and begin to heal from the inside out.
Together, we can explore and release what no longer serves you, allowing you to reconnect with what truly resonates.
Here, at Murray Freedom Counseling, I invite you to try something new, and experience what it is like to truly release the pain that that keeps you trapped in feelings of disconnection, and to move toward a stronger sense of spiritual identity and purpose- not defined by religious rules, but by your internal spiritual compass- your intuition.
It's time to shed the pain of imposed brokenness and start living life from a place of confidence and alignment.
Murray Freedom Counseling is located conveniently at 144 Lincoln Place Court Suite 2,Belleville, IL
A safe space to explore and address past hurts while unlocking your untapped inner power.
- Brené Brown
“Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning and purpose to our lives.”
