Spiritual Abuse and Therapy
A Virtual Interactive Workshop for Mental Health Clinicians
Presented by Andrea Mathews, MA, LPC
Friday, May 16, 2025 9 am – 3:30 pm
Untreated, even unnoticed by many, and only recently discovered as a real therapeutic issue, spiritual abuse is evidenced in the deep wounds which our clients bring to us for help and healing. But since they don’t often know the source of this woundedness, they might have a hard time finding words for it and may even feel that spirituality is not a subject to be discussed in therapy. Yet, this wound is often the central premise of all of their dysfunctional patterns. This workshop is meant to help us recognize and treat spiritual woundedness that results from spiritual abuse.
OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this workshop, participants will be able
to:
- Define spiritual abuse in its various forms.
- Define spiritual woundedness as a focus of the therapeutic relationship.
- Define some of the typical ways our clients try to compensate for spiritual woundedness.
- Understand and be able to utilize several interventions to facilitate healing for spiritual woundedness.

How to Work with Your Anxiety / OCD Related Parts
How to Work with Your Anxiety / OCD Related Parts
Closed group, 6-week experiential group focused on how to befriend your Anxiety / OCD related parts. Will utilize interactive activities, creative expression, nervous system regulation tools, mindfulness techniques, and more.
Dates: TBD as group forms
Time: Wednesday, 6-7:30 pm
Location: Birmingham Therapy Services, LLC

Adults 21 +
A screening session is required to determine appropriateness of admission. Commitment to regular attendance is required.
Goals: To increase awareness and understanding of OCD and/or anxiety symptoms. Increase ability to manage symptoms and approach yourself with compassion and kindness. OCD and anxiety can be very isolating disorders and my hope with this group is to foster a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can learn to live in harmony with all parts of themselves. After this group, clients will walk away with a toolbox of skills they feel confident utilizing on their own, a deeper understanding of how their OCD shows up in their own life, and increased feeling of community and support.
