Deconstruction Courses

Deconstruction is growth, not destruction. Nurturing curiosity and critical thinking helps us commit to our own healing, allowing us to “do our work.” Join Tia Levings, celebrated author of A Well-Trained Wife, as she leads a warm, casual, and transformative three-part webinar series on healing after religious trauma.

What You’ll Experience Across Three Webinars:

  • Compassionate Guidance from Lived Experience
    Tia Levings doesn’t just talk about recovery—she’s lived it. In these webinars, she shares object lessons, honest stories, and hard-won wisdom to help you identify, process, and heal from the wounds of high-control religion and fundamentalism.
  • Insights on Guilt, Complicity & Personal Narratives
    Explore the tangled emotions of guilt and grief, the discomfort of examining your participation in harmful systems, and find out how to take your power back—without shame or blame. Learn why confronting your complicity is necessary—and how to do so with grace and sustainable self-care.
  • Practical Tools for Real Change
    Get tactical, real-world strategies to expand your “window of tolerance” so you don’t shut down or lash out, even in heated family or internet debates.
  • Every webinar comes with a companion guide with journal prompts.

Have you ever found yourself wrestling with questions after leaving a high-control religious environment? Do you crave authenticity and wish to rebuild your life with integrity after religious trauma? You’re not alone—and there’s a bridge to the other side. This series opens as a beacon for the wounded and curious.

What You’ll Discover:

Real-World Tools for Healing: Learn how Tia used deconstruction—not as destruction, but as a gentle, personalized process—to reconnect with her true self and shed the shame, fear, and conformity imposed by fundamentalism.

Guidance from Authentic Experience: Tia’s story isn’t prescriptive. She shares what worked for her as an illustration, encouraging you to find what resonates for your own path.

A Survivor’s Blueprint: Explore the essential questions that helped Tia—and can help you—break cycles, reclaim personal agency, and build a life rooted in honesty, compassion, and wholeness.

Actionable Insights: From naming core beliefs to examining whose interests those beliefs actually serve, this episode is packed with thought-provoking steps and self-reflective prompts.

In a world eager to offer formulas and ready-made answers, this episode dares to honor your story, your questions, and your agency above all.


Inside This Webinar, You’ll Learn:

  • Why fundamentalist thinking goes far beyond religion—and how you may still be carrying it, even after you leave.
  • How to recognize the difference between opinion, bias, belief, story, and worldview (plus the one question that reveals your hidden bias).
  • Why curiosity—not certainty—is the true skill of resilient people (and how you can flex that muscle every day).
  • Tactical, real-world strategies to expand your “window of tolerance” so you don’t shut down or lash out, even in heated family or internet debates.
  • How to build your own personal “trapdoor” for critical thinking using Tia’s creative journaling and community-tested exercises.

If you’re tired of black-and-white thinking and hungry for a life of nuance, kindness, and genuine connection (with yourself and others), this episode is your road map.

Whether you’re just starting to question, deep in the process of deconstruction, or supporting someone you love, you’ll find comfort, camaraderie, and actionable wisdom here. Webinar comes with a companion guide and journal prompts.


Do you ever feel haunted by guilt for things you once believed, taught, or did—especially if you were raised in, joined, or parented inside high-control religious systems? Are you struggling to reconcile the good memories with the painful realities of religious trauma? If so, you’re not alone—and this webinar is for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • It’s normal to feel complicit, guilty, and confused—healing is a layered, non-linear process.
  • Your past beliefs or actions do not define you; you are determined by what you do with what you know now.
  • True self-examination is uncomfortable—but it’s also the doorway to freedom.

Whether you’re just beginning to question your story or you’re deep in the work, this webinar will give you empathy, tools, and hope in your deconstruction process. This webinar includes a sneak peek at a draft from Tia’s new book, I Belong to Me: A Survivor’s Guide to Recovery and Hope after Religious Trauma, which she reads aloud.
