Trust & Thrive
Welcome to Trust & Thrive! My name is Tara Montazeri and I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Through insightful and vulnerable discussions, I hope to inspire my listeners to trust the process of their unique journey and thrive as their most authentic self. I aim to encourage these actions with a conscious, practical, and attainable approach to self-reflection and community care. I often feature individuals from a multitude of professional fields, levels of expertise, and life experiences who generously share their stories and invaluable knowledge to my listeners and me. My guests and I touch on topics related to mental health, relationships, systemic issues, generational wounds, and other topics that influence us in our everyday lives. I hope these conversations encourage us to approach our journey of self-awareness in a thoughtful, mindful and compassionate way.

224: Religious Trauma & Cult Abuse Recovery - with Dr. Quincee Gideon, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Quincee Gideon is a licensed psychologist that specializes in religious trauma and cult recovery. She takes science-backed ways of understanding trauma in the brain and body to help trauma survivors recover. She owns Woven Together Trauma Therapy, a trauma-specialty practice in Los Angeles and Traumastery, which is an online space for religious trauma and cult recovery.
She has a growing monthly membership of survivors of religious trauma coming together to learn the psychology behind religious abuse while getting some peer support along the way. She also teaches therapists how to address religious trauma clinically in her monthly therapist training program.
In this episode, we discuss the difference between big T vs. little T trauma, deconstructing our beliefs, feelings of shame and guilt, exploring what a cult looks like, and healing from religious abuse.
