Its influence can lead to feelings of shame and guilt, especially for those who don’t fit its mold. Our recovery services provide a safe haven for individuals seeking to heal from the damaging effects of purity culture, offering support and guidance to navigate their journey towards emotional freedom. In our compassionate environment, individuals can explore their experiences, process their emotions, and reclaim their sense of self-worth.

The Harmful Effects of Purity Culture Trauma

Purity culture trauma can inflict deep emotional wounds and perpetuate harmful cycles of shame and guilt. Messages of “purity” and “impurity” create a dichotomy that can lead to feelings of unworthiness and feeling “unclean.” Purity culture damage manifests through sexual shame. Moreover, purity culture often promotes harmful stereotypes and reinforces harmful gender norms, perpetuating inequality and marginalization.

If you are familiar with purity rings, purity balls, purity promise cards, and books surrounding purity like “I Kissed Dating Goodbye,” you likely experienced purity culture trauma. You may be experiencing shame around sexuality or sexual dysfunction in your relationship, even if you are married. Common issues experienced with purity culture damage includes vaginismus, depression, anxiety, unsatisfying sex life, and more.
