YOU'RE SAFE. HEAL RELIGIOUS TRAUMA WITH AN EXJW WHO GETS IT.
I'M LISA MAGDALENA B.A Hons, THE ORIGINAL EX-JW THERAPIST, LET'S HEAL YOUR JW TRAUMA.
With 26 years experience and my own lived JW past,
I help you shake off JW conditioning, and finally thrive.
If you're reading this, you've likely walked a path few understand
—a path marked by JW religious abuse and the scars of religious trauma.
I understand. I have been there too. I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness.
Together, we will gently unpack the past, heal the wounds of spiritual abuse,
and guide you toward a future where you can truly thrive.
This is your home for ex-Jehovah's Witness counseling.
You are brave for being here. You are in the right place.
Let’s begin your healing journey today with a simple, low-pressure conversation.
IN MEMORY OF MY FATHER, KEITH PLAYFORD
the watchtower killed my dad.
My expertise isn’t found in a textbook.
It’s rooted in a congregation in Margate, UK, where my father, Keith Playford,
died at just 28 years old for refusing a blood transfusion.
I was two years old.
I grew up in the wake of a doctrine that values institutional loyalty over human life.
That experience didn't just break my heart; it drove me to study the mechanics of spiritual abuse.
For 26 years, I have served as The Original ExJW Therapist,
helping thousands across the globe shake off their JW past.
I understand the guilt, the shunning,
and the quiet terror of walking away because I’ve lived every inch of it.

Having been raised as a Jehovah's Witness,
