About this listen

This week on Deciphering Growth, we explore the deep and lasting wounds caused by conversion therapy and faith-based rejection.

Tiffany Graves and Eric Stone unpack how therapy meant to help can sometimes do profound harm — especially when it targets a person’s identity. We talk about identity rupture, internalized shame, moral injury, and how to support the LGBTQ+ community with compassion and authenticity.

🧠 In this episode:

  • What happens when therapy retraumatizes

  • The trauma behind “hate the sin, love the sinner”

  • Why moral injury and spiritual abandonment matter

  • PTSD/CPTSD symptoms tied to religious rejection

  • What true allyship actually looks like

✨ This is a real one. Tune in, reflect, and if it’s too much today — come back when you’re ready.
