Medications can definitely help, but sometimes when it comes to trauma and CPTSD, I feel like they are only "bandaids" that can assist us with coping with the symptoms - but they won't treat the cause.

Self-education and reflection through reading Pete Walkers CPTSD: From Surviving to Thriving (his website's articles are awesome, too), and Beverly Engel's It Wasn't Your Fault were a huge assistance to my recovery starting out.

The other recommendation I would have are support groups and therapy. I understand how difficult it can be to find/access/afford a trauma-informed therapist, but I found a lot of support and assistance in codependency support groups (CODA.org) and Adult Children of
Alcoholics/Dysfunctional Families

Congrats!!! When I became an Atheist I felt the exact same way.

I don't know your exact situation, but years after of becoming an Atheist, despite concrete beliefs I still struggled with deep shame from my upbringing. This book has been life changing for me to finally let go of my past and the way I was raised. I recommend checking it out! https://www.amazon.com/Wasnt-Your-Fault-Childhood-Self-Compassion/dp/1626250995
