  • Hear me out: what if saying “I turned out fine” comes from a protective part of you that doesn’t want to face the pain of reality?

To that “husband, father, Christian” who says he turned out fine, I want to ask, “But did you?”

What makes it so scary to look at the negative effects of spanking? Even if they truly don’t apply to you, what makes it feel so threatening to listen to the voices of those who were harmed?

 Might be some defensive parts of you in the way that need curiosity, compassion, and courage to face them.

Want to learn more about healing from toxic Christian parenting while still holding onto your faith? I’ll be back this week with more research on the harm of spanking, so follow along!

  • If you’re new here, hi! I’m Dr. Camden—a licensed psychologist, Millennial mom, and deconstructing Christian helping people heal from toxic beliefs without losing their faith.

Maybe you’ve started questioning things you were taught about purity culture, patriarchy, parenting, mental health, or faith.

Maybe you’re tired of black-and-white answers and ready for something more honest, nuanced, and compassionate.

🤝 Here you’ll find content about:

• Reparenting yourself while parenting your kids
• Therapy, trauma, and mental health
• Purity culture recovery
• Egalitarianism
• Faith deconstruction and reconstruction

🚫 What you won’t find:

• Fear-based faith
• Shame-based parenting
• Black-and-white thinking
• Judgment
• Easy answers

Just thoughtful conversations, evidence-based psychology, and room to ask hard questions.

If that sounds like you, I’m glad you’re here.

  • If you’re parenting your kids differently than the Christian authoritarian parenting you were raised with, you’re in good company. 💜

  • Took a Bahamas cruise with my sister for my 40th birthday this weekend!

One reparenting lesson I’ve learned over the years is to celebrate myself instead of waiting for others to read my mind and ending up disappointed. 

So for my 40th birthday, I knew I wanted to take a sisters’ trip without our husbands and babies—our first trip together since 2017! 

How do you celebrate yourself? And for those who are 40+, what do I have to look forward to in my 40s??
  • What if a strong will wasn’t meant to be broken, but to be nurtured?

What if having a strong will isn’t sinful, but one of the ways we reflect the image of God, who gave us this free will and agency?

What if a strong will, led by God, is not a sin but a superpower?

Sending love to all my fellow strong-willed kids, who never needed their wills “broken” in the first place. 💜
