Where was God during my trauma?

What is the purpose of my suffering?


Have you lost hope?

"I know you feel alone in your grief, pain, and struggles. Please believe me when I tell you that you are NOT alone. 1 out of every 3 adults in the U.S. have experienced religious trauma at some point in their life."

Finding Faith After Trauma Summit

A transformative event focused on discovering powerful HEALING strategies and tools to help you move beyond your pain and find faith again.

Why you need the replay?

As a seasoned therapist and transformational coach specializing in trauma recovery, I understand that finding hope, faith, and healing after religious trauma may seem insurmountable. The pain can be stifling, enveloping you in darkness, making it hard to envision reclaiming or discovering your faith for the first time. It’s akin to searching for a speck of light in a dark cave.

"Finding Faith After Trauma," offers a compassionate space where you can express your experiences openly and without judgment. Here, you'll connect with others who have endured similar hardships and access the collective healing power within each of you. By listening to and sharing stories of resilience, you might find yourself inspired to embrace the potential for healing and profound transformation. Even the smallest seed of faith, nurtured through connection, sharing, and collective wisdom, can grow your purpose and passions.

Dawn Benjamin

Dawn Cecile Benjamin is the CEO of Sistah Encourage Me, LLC. a women’s empowerment movement. Sistah Encourage Me collaborates with women through the facilitation of coaching as an Empowerment Life Coach with a spiritual background to transform women’s lives through the word of God.

An inspiring and strong woman that grew up with a very encouraging mother who always taught her to 'Never Say Can't Always Say Can.’ The word CAN'T wasn’t allowed to come out of her mouth. Her mother was her greatest supporter and encourager. With those early beginnings, Dawn developed a belief that, within herself and within every woman that she meets, there are gifts and a purpose to be released into the world. Whenever she meets another woman, she sees the potential and speaks into their life. She believes that a woman's gifts open doors to more opportunities, and that so many women are not fulfilling their purpose because they are afraid to step out and reach into the soul and spirit of who they really ARE.

Take the first step towards reclaiming your life and healing from past hardships.

What Clients Say About Karen

J.S

Private Client

Forever Thankful

The CBT program Karen did for me was fantastic. Not only did I have fewer trauma-induced nightmares, I became more able to talk about my childhood and relationship with my mother without experiencing anxiety and pain. My favorite exercise was the one where I analyzed the utility of certain thoughts or beliefs, ultimately discarding so many things that were upsetting me as not useful. There were times when I felt like I wanted to give up, but Karen was great at helping to keep me motivated and accountable. At the end, I felt better equipped and more energized to take on life!

Forever Grateful

“I met Ms. Robinson after I was assaulted. My sessions with her will impact me for a long time as I needed help and an environment that would allow me to express myself without reservation and judgement. Ms. Robinson provided exactly that, some of the qualities of Ms. Robinson that stood out to me were that she was very empathetic, easy to talk to, authentic, reliable and a good listener.”
