Pieces of the Mind, Posting Secrets

Emma Wise, a licensed counselor and visual artist, shares her deeply personal journey of healing from religious abuse and trauma through her memoir, Pieces of the Mind. Her work thoughtfully weaves together professional clinical insight with lived experience, exploring themes of body shame, control, and self-reclamation beyond traditional chronological storytelling. Structured around emotional truth and the body’s stories, her narrative offers honest reflections and tools for understanding healing. She also offers her expertise as a guest or collaborator for those working in the space of religious trauma and recovery.
