I’m Tia Levings, a writer, creator, guest expert, and content specialist. I shine light on the abuses of Christian fundamentalism and offer contextual insight into the true horrors of religious trauma. My memoir, A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy, releases with St. Martin’s Press in 2024. My videos on social media have millions of views. Through the lens of my personal experience, I connect entertainment, news headlines, and current events to fundamentalist influences and strategy. I write about religious trauma and Christian fundamentalism to educate, validate, and empower those who feel smashed by the patriarchy. To create something beautiful from pain. And, because when I went through the hell of church-sanctioned violence, I felt alone and I wasn’t. There are thousands of others out there. I want you to know you aren’t alone. And even if the church condones and shelters it, abuse is never okay. A high-level glimpse of my story: I was married at 19 to a charming but erratic man who loved theology. I’d grown up in a conservative, mainline Baptist church, groomed to be a sexually pure bride and submissive wife. But there was violence and abuse from the beginning––and I wasn’t equipped to recognize it. I did what I’d been trained to do: turn to my church for help. Help came in the form of mentors who were part of Bill Gothard’s Institute of Basic Life Principles, and pastor-counselors who’d been influenced by the rise of Christian Fundamentalism. “Help” looked like teaching me to be more submissive and to receive what my husband offered, even if that was abuse. Life grew smaller and more narrow and I felt like I was dying inside. But a series of tragic events cracked me open. And then, I found a group of smart women online who shared their discoveries and growth. “Women talking” directly opposed the “women should be silent” world I lived in. I grew. I became more assertive. And I thought I’d found a way to balance these two worlds: one where I felt empowered and alive and one where I submitted into near non-existence. Balance was a delusion. As I became more independent and healthy, high-control religion and domestic abuse tightened their grip. My husband became more erratic and dangerous. In October of 2007, things came to a violent head and I narrowly escaped with my children in the middle of the night. What followed was a long road to freedom and healing. Ten years of trauma therapy. Five years of faith deconstruction. Becoming a single parent; falling in love. Raising four children with my village. Developing a career. Finding, and then using, my voice. Learning how to step out of the shadows so that I could shine. It’s been a long time since I was stuttering and hiding in a bedroom closet. And it also feels like yesterday. As I create videos, bylines, and my memoir about Christian Fundamentalism, time feels urgent. TV shows like the Duggar’s 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On glossed up the hideous realities and made fundie life seem wholesome. But that delusion is dangerous. Our laws, and women’s rights specifically, are impacted by high-control religion right now. Our society is being shaped, our country is changing. I believe you need to know why. The Christian Patriarchy has a strategy and a plan. As they shelter abuses, riding on the assumption that no one knows what’s going on behind closed doors, and using religious freedom as an umbrella shield, true suffering is happening. Slavery, rape, traffic...
Danielle's story is about her difficulties getting into a healthy relationship with her husband after he disclosed his sexual abuse history. Her story highlights the issues spouses of survivors commonly experience, including trust issues, emotional instability, and avoidance.: The biggest impact for survivors and their partners is the loneliness and secrecy of the abuse.

When working with trauma patients, Chiropractors should focus on restoring balance and harmony within the body, as well as helping the patient manage stress and trauma. Calvin Ling is a chiropractor who focuses on providing trauma-informed chiropractic care. He feels that it's essential to create a safe and comfortable environment for patients, and that clear communication is important for establishing boundaries. Acupuncture can be incredibly helpful to trauma patients in alleviating symptoms and improving overall health and well-being. It's always beneficial to have a doctor or health professional involved in treatment, but if you are struggling to find relief and are interested in exploring acupuncture as an option, it's always a good idea to speak with a licensed therapist beforehand to get a proper diagnosis and customize the treatment plan specifically for you.- The three principles of chiropractic are trauma, toxins, and thoughts. Treatment of trauma usually focuses on resolving any subluxations that may be causing misalignment and interference with nerve function. Trauma-informed chiropractic looks at the whole person, taking into account their history and symptoms, in order to create a plan of care that will best target their needs. Acupuncture is considered to be a powerful treatment for pain management and some other musculoskeletal conditions. Calvin Ling is a student at Logan University and is about to graduate and focus on Trauma care. He recently got married. He will graduate in December.
