  • These horror movies are my 5 myths of purity culture, outlined in my book Recovering from Purity Culture.

-The Spiritual Barometer Myth, when purity rings are badges of worth and your virginity determines how good of a Christian you are.
-The Fairy-Tale Myth, when we were told to pray for our future spouse and God would give us everything we wanted...as long as we waited!
-The Flipped Switch Myth, promising amazing sex right away in marriage, no sex ed needed!
-The Damaged Goods Myth, comparing us to chewed up gum, soiled napkins, torn paper, and cup of water with spit in it. No wilting roses here!
-The Gatekeepers Myth, when verses like 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 are used to demand duty sex from women instead of emphasizing mutuality and connection.

  • As a religious trauma therapist and deconstructing Christian, here are my top 5 horror movies:

-“The husband is the head” and any mention of submission, helper, helpmate, leader, complement, servant leader, and all the other complementarian buzzwords. Instant 🚩 

-No women pastors or elder at a church, and only women “directors” (of children’s  or women’s ministry, of course). After spending 35 years of my life in complementarian churches, that’s a no for me.

-Parents taught to spank the strong will out of their kids. If James Dobson or Ted Tripp’s books are recommended in your family ministries, I’m out. 👋  I nurture my kids’ wills, not break them.

-Black and white views and everyone else is wrong. I practice both/and instead of either/or thinking, curiosity over certainty, and critical thinking over black and white.

-Christianity married with politics. I grew up believing you couldn’t be a Christian if you didn’t vote Republican. Now thankfully for the last 10 years I’ve voted according to MY values, not Christian nationalism.

This list could have been much longer. What would you add to these religious trauma horror movies?

And if you’re a deconstructing Christian healing from toxic beliefs, follow @drcamden.

  • As a therapist in private practice with over 15 years of experience, here are my top 5 horror movies:

-Unlicensed, unqualified “Christian counselors.” When I see marketing for “Christian counseling” in which the therapists are unlicensed and got Masters degrees from online, unaccredited Christian programs, that’s a 🚩 for me.

-Therapists who just listen and say, “that sounds hard.” The number 1 feedback I get from my clients is that they like that I challenge them, educate them, or talk back-and-forth with them. I validate too, but we’ve got to take the next step to experience change.

-No attention to the mind-body connection. Still using only CBT talk therapy to treat depression, anxiety, or trauma? Nope. We know too much about the mind-body connection and the importance of bottom-up processing. I’ve seen clients who went to talk therapy for years and it never resolved their trauma symptoms. That’s why I got trained in EMDR, IFS, and somatic approaches.

-Therapists who don’t do their own therapy or personal work. I don’t trust a therapist who has never gone to therapy. That’s a no for me. Doing your own work will only make you a better therapist. And if you don’t, what are you afraid of?

-Coaches making vague claims like “release stored trauma” or treating mental illness. This is the work of a licensed therapist not a coach. Even when I coach, I am clear about my role and the distinction and that I do not treat trauma as a coach. 

💬 Whether you’re a therapist or a client in therapy (or both), what would you add to this list?

  • Welcome to my new private practice office in Knoxville, Tennessee.

I am celebrating my third year as a solo private practice owner! I’ve been a therapist for over 15 years and I started my solo private practice in 2023, where I see women and couples for relationship issues, sex therapy, trauma and EMDR, and religious trauma and spirituality.

The hardest part of being a therapist is hearing stories of abuse and injustice and knowing that we can’t go back and change it, even though it never should have happened to you.

The best part of being a therapist is seeing my clients grow in confidence and empowerment when they begin to realize “It’s not my fault” and find healing from toxic beliefs. 

My goal in all of my work is to validate, challenge, and empower you to find healing and freedom from toxic beliefs.

  • My husband and I celebrate our 10th anniversary today! And I’ve been a couples therapist longer than a wife. In honor of my 10th anniversary, I wanted to share the ten best pieces of marriage advice I’ve learned in this decade as a wife and the 15+ years as a couples therapist. 

1) Most of your problems will be unsolvable. 69% of marriage problems are unsolvable, according to Gottman. Practice acceptance and give grace. 
2) Parenting changes your marriage. According to research, marital satisfaction nose-dives after having kids. It takes effort to continue nurturing your marriage. 
3) Frequency of sex doesn’t matter. It’s quality over quantity. Regular times of connection is what keeps intimacy alive. 
4) Grace and forgiveness are daily realities. Repairing after disconnection is a requirement--or intimacy will suffer. 
5) Keep getting to know each other. You’re not done dating when you get married. Keep growing together and dating your spouse. 
6) Be willing to look at yourself. Both partners contribute to the negative cycles you get into, so your energy is best spent working on yourself. 
7) Shared, core values and goals matter. This is what life is built on. Find a partner whose core values and life goals align with yours. 
8) Weekly couch time trumps weekly date night. Have a weekly meeting where you share your hearts and discuss the state of your marriage. 
9) Learn your enneagram types. Understand your and your partner’s unique personalities and how they interact. @enneagramandmarriage is a great resource for this!
10) Attachment styles > communication skills. Understanding attachment styles and cycles gets to deeper emotional needs.

My husband and I celebrate our 10th anniversary today! And I’ve been a couples therapist longer than a wife. In honor of my 10th anniversary, I wanted to share the ten best pieces of marriage advice I’ve learned in this decade as a wife and the 15+ years as a couples therapist. 

1) Most of your problems will be unsolvable. 69% of marriage problems are unsolvable, according to Gottman. Practice acceptance and give grace. 
2) Parenting changes your marriage. According to research, marital satisfaction nose-dives after having kids. It takes effort to continue nurturing your marriage. 
3) Frequency of sex doesn’t matter. It’s quality over quantity. Regular times of connection is what keeps intimacy alive. 
4) Grace and forgiveness are daily realities. Repairing after disconnection is a requirement--or intimacy will suffer. 
5) Keep getting to know each other. You’re not done dating when you get married. Keep growing together and dating your spouse. 
6) Be willing to look at yourself. Both partners contribute to the negative cycles you get into, so your energy is best spent working on yourself. 
7) Shared, core values and goals matter. This is what life is built on. Find a partner whose core values and life goals align with yours. 
8) Weekly couch time trumps weekly date night. Have a weekly meeting where you share your hearts and discuss the state of your marriage. 
9) Learn your enneagram types. Understand your and your partner’s unique personalities and how they interact. @enneagramandmarriage is a great resource for this!
10) Attachment styles > communication skills. Understanding attachment styles and cycles gets to deeper emotional needs.
