High-control religion didn’t just teach you what to believe.
It taught you to lie; to hide or override what was real.
Hi, I’m Halli, MA. Religious trauma & sex therapist turned coach.
I help people leaving high-control religion rebuild self-trust & real intimacy by learning how to know & tell the truth again.
Every client I work with brings a different story.
But their pain always has the same root:
You were programmed to not tell the full truth, and it cost you.
Your truth was sacrificed on the altar of “absolute truth.”
And you were taught to lie -
- to bypass or override your truth for the sake of certainty and belonging.
But the cost of not telling the truth is painful:
Self-trust and real intimacy were the prices you paid.
Imagine a life where:
You wake up knowing you are living life on your terms, not the terms of old rules, fear, or shame.
You actually trust your body, your instincts, and your desires, & live from that knowing.
Emotional and physical intimacy are no longer so complicated; they’re fully yours to explore and enjoy.
This isn’t just theory. It’s the life you can start building today —
with guidance, support, and a framework that works.
About Me:
I was raised in an insular fundamentalist group called “The Lord’s Recovery,” where truth only counted if it matched the group’s beliefs.
I learned that doubt was sin.
My own feelings were dangerously wrong.
Boundaries were rebellious.
And honesty could cost you everything.
I internalized the same survival strategies you did:
Don’t rock the boat.
Don’t hurt anyone.
Don’t tell the whole truth.
Don’t want too much.
Don’t trust yourself.
Leaving that world by learning to hear my own truth became the foundation of my life’s work.
Now I help others rebuild the connection with themselves and others that they lost by being programmed to lie.
My coaching is honest, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I believe your body knows the truth, and that truth will reveal itself when it’s safe to.
“Raised in a conservative Evangelical setting, I had a very negative and fear-filled view of sex. I also naively thought I should just wait until my wedding night to start learning and mentally preparing myself. Thankfully, I came across Halli’s coaching services six months in advance, and she was a game changer for me. By recommending books for my specific situation, suggesting different tools, strategies, and frameworks, my entire mindset shifted for the better.”
