Little Bea and The Golden Key Journal: Deconstructing LGBTQIA+ Religious Trauma (Purple Door Journeys)

A self-paced companion journal for LGBTQ+ survivors of religious trauma.Little Bea was born with a rainbow tail in a world of Reds and Blues. Her tail was painted over from infancy. She was expelled when she was finally brave enough to remove the paint. And she survived — through the dark years, through the meerkats who carried her, through Rodent City where all the colors exist together.This workbook walks with you through her journey — and yours.Grounded in the psychology of LGBTQ+ experience in fundamentalist religious communities, each section addresses the specific wounds of this specific experience: the gender binary enforced from childhood, the parent who was also your idol and your betrayer, the friend who pulled away to survive, the community gatherings where you didn't fit, the moment you finally stopped hiding — and what it cost.Seven writing lines follow every question. The workbook moves at your pace. No section is required before you are ready for it.Designed for individual use or alongside a therapist, counselor, or trusted guide. Particularly valuable for LGBTQ+ survivors of the 2x2 (Two by Two) and similar high-control fundamentalist communities — and for anyone whose identity was declared sinful, whose belonging was conditional on compliance, or who has ever stood at the proverbial fountain wondering what would happen if they just wiped off the paint.A companion to Little Bea and the Golden Key, but can be used independently."There are Reds and Blues and Rainbows and Fluorescents and even Ultraviolets. All kinds live here."All your colors are welcome here. Read more
