How to Talk to [Mamí & Papí] about Anything
Society & Culture:Relationships
After an incident of harassment, Carla began to question being in a church that wouldn't protect her. But the hardest part of walking away was talking to her Honduran parents about it. And Doralis Coriano Ortiz, a psychotherapist who helps BIPOC clients navigate adverse religious experiences shares strategies for speaking with loved ones about a crisis of faith.
Featured Expert:
Doralis Coriano Ortiz is a Chicago-based bilingual psychotherapist in private practice at Live Oaks and serves on the board of the Reclamation Collective, an organization that holds space for folks navigating religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and adverse religious experiences. Her passion for religious trauma support work comes from her own experience of being born into and raised in a fundamentalist Pentecostal church in Puerto Rico. Her goal is to make religious trauma information, resources, and support accessible to anyone who may need it, and especially to BIPOC and to other Latinx/Spanish speakers who may still not have access to this work.
Doralis recommends the Reclamation Collective and the Religious Trauma Institute for anyone looking for support, resources and information about adverse religioys experiences, religious trauma, and spiritual abuse.
