Struggling with the state of our nation and the world right now? You’re not alone. Therapist Emily Key, MA, LMFTA, APTT-C  has some advice if you are feeling overwhelmed.

The aim of the 2025 Shameless Sexuality: Life After Purity Culture conference is to educate mental health clinicians and empower survivors, connecting them with qualified therapists, consultants, coaches, and resources to aid in recovery from Purity Culture indoctrination. SPEAKER: Kristin Cherry Jackson, LMFTA Kristin Cherry Jackson is a licensed psychotherapist (LMFTA) focusing on sex, relationship, and trauma therapy. A purity culture refugee herself, she is painfully familiar with the many ways that growing up with restrictive messages around sex, gender, and sexual orientation can leave lasting impacts. Website: IntimaTherapy.com TOPIC: Confronting Coercion: Freeing Yourself from Sexual Obligation Messages Shameless Sexuality was founded in 2022 by Janice Selbie, who also founded CORT: the Conference on Religious Trauma. Indoctrinated into evangelical Christianity from birth, Janice was a devout Believer for several decades and indoctrinated her own children with toxic Purity Culture beliefs. After divorcing her religion, Janice became a Registered Professional Counsellor and religious trauma recovery coach. Recognizing how Purity Culture indoctrination robs many of the ability to enjoy sex and sexuality, Janice founded Shameless Sexuality: Life After Purity Culture as a safe space for survivors to learn about recovery and connect with others on a similar path. In addition to her conferences, Janice is a best-selling author whose book Divorcing Religion: A Memoir and Survival Handbook about her move from religion to atheism, reached #1 in seven Amazon categories. She also hosts the Divorcing Religion Podcast and has a thriving practice working one-on-one with clients recovering from religious trauma. She developed and facilitates the Divorcing Religion Workshop and runs a free online support group for religious trauma survivors. Website: DivorcingReligion.com
