Faith crisis counseling Castle PinesFor when you question your deeply-held religious beliefs

Many churches are experiencing changes in doctrine or teachings that you might not agree with and may bring you to feel misled by the faith you once cherished. Some of these shifts may negatively impact, isolate, or even harm your loved ones. The changes that happen when one questions dearly-held foundations may make you confused about your values, distrustful of others, anxious and angry about shame and judgement. You might feel unsure of how these changes can impact your spirituality and future. We understand how deeply these changes can rock your world and shake your place in the Castle Pines community. Faith transition counseling Castle Pines can help.

Who am I now? How do I identify?

For many people, their faith defines not just how they act— it defines who they are. Questioning one’s faith sometimes feels like questioning one’s identity, values, and that you’re abandoning the values that have shaped your life in Castle Pines.

Don’t struggle in your crisis of faith alone. Faith crisis counseling can help you re-establish your identity apart from your faith as you walk what will feel like a treacherous and lonely path. We are ready to stand with you.

What do I really believe?

For many people, their faith has been a cornerstone of their life and identity for as long as they can remember, and questioning their faith feels like questioning their core persona. As you move beyond your long-held beliefs and tenets of your faith, faith crisis counseling Castle Pines can help you unpack your feelings from dogma and rebuild how you see yourself in Castle Pines and in the world.

What will others think of me?

You’ve stood should-to-shoulder with your friends and members of your religious community in Castle Pines. Together, you have celebrated the good times. You’ve mourned and grieved together. You and your community have been there for the major moments of your lives: births, marriages, deaths.

You may feel isolated in your questioning. Your crisis of faith often evokes anxiety when you contemplate what your friends, family, and loved ones will think of you. You may worry about gossip and whispers in the hallways. They may confront you directly to dissuade you of your choices. You might feel like a stranger in your own community. Fear of losing those relationships may keep you trapped in an unhealthy environment.

Will my friends judge me?

As you question the basis of your religious community, you may feel scorn, judgment, and shame from those you trusted most. People often feel angry as they experience abandonment by their community. Faith crisis counseling can help you work through painful emotions and experiences in a safe, judgement-free space.

Distrust, fear, and anger in your religious community

The community where you found solace and joy is the place you discovered a toxic environment of abuse, power, control, or manipulation. Every time you share your concern, the community contradicts your experiences and you feel isolated and judged. This may lead to feelings of helplessness, anxiety, and confusion.

Faith crisis counseling Castle Pines helps you to re-establish your strengths, redefine your belief system and find new meaning in your life’s journey. We walk with you to feel understood and trust yourself again.

Faith crisis counseling and Religious Trauma

Faith and religion are core components of many people’s lives. Relationships of deep trust and love are nurtured and develop through many years. When those relationships become toxic and destructive, religious trauma can often overshadow all the positive experiences and benefits the faith provided. Instead of safety, religious trauma will bring feelings of helplessness, fear, insecurity, distrust, and leave you unable to reconcile the positive past with the toxic present. You may not trust yourself. Faith crisis counseling will help you set boundaries and rebuild relationships with your family, friends, and loved ones on your schedule.
