Rooted in her experiences growing up in an evangelical Christian family, Jamie Lee Finch’s You Are Your Own offers an overview of evangelicalism and the painful confusion and anxiety experienced under its demands.
Finch explores the mechanisms of trauma and how fundamentalist denominations match the patterns connected with PTSD. She elaborates on the doubt, guilt, fear, and grief that haunt those leaving the evangelical faith and offers an approach to help them recover healthy self-worth and resilience.
A socio-historical autobiographical analysis of evangelical Christianity's religious trauma, You Are Your Own emerges from Finch's reconnaissance on her own life - her journals, stories, trauma - and offers advocacy for everyone harmed by fundamentalist faith.
Jamie Lee Finch is a sexuality and embodiment coach, intuitive healer, self-conversation facilitator, sex witch, and poet. You can learn about Jamie’s work at JamieLeeFinch.com

For those for whom this book doesn’t resonate, know that within this topic are soooo many differently nuanced and blatant versions of such experiences, varying sometimes greatly based on which church/school you attend, how old you are, what you were allowed to do growing up, etc. But the gist of it is universal and timeless… Well-intended or not, manmade interpretations of a text and/or a belief can tragically and deeply wound a young child who will go on to have a less than ideal or healthy/happy life if they never have a chance to unlearn and rid themselves of all the garbage dumped on them for years and years.
I AM my own! Thank you, Jamie, for your part in helping me realize that!
