Kathrine's Story
Growing up in the Midwest at the height of purity culture, Kathrine struggled for decades with undiagnosed anxiety, PGAD, and OCD.
Confused and disoriented, she obsessed with questions about relationships, sexuality, and faith. Each of these areas seemed like a puzzle she couldn't solve. From sexuality to religion, life seemed like a terrifying mirage that she could never quite grasp or understand.
She is now passionate about sharing her journey of discovery. It's not just about the answers she found out for herself... it's about the new, healthy practices she's learned along the way.
It's about learning a new way to understand, a new way to know. A new way to see.
Kathrine would love to hear your story. Get in touch for updates about her upcoming book and blog!
Kathrine Snyder graduated from Prairie Bible College in Alberta, is a full-time ghostwriter and editor. She has ghostwritten several leadership books and memoirs for clients from six countries, including an international nine-figure businessman. Kathrine is passionate about literary craft, trauma-informed care, and advocacy for PGAD and OCD. She is committed to helping people survive change and uncertainty, including the disorientation that comes from shame-filled religious ideologies and forge a personal connection with Jesus.
Is it possible to hear God's voice? How can you tell if it's really God, or if it's the voice of religious trauma, anxiety, or OCD?
