Listen Later

In this week's episode, we're talking all about the psychology of evolving faith and rebuilding healthy spirituality, including our own personal experiences and psychological insights such as:

  • Defining religious trauma and wounding
  • How religious trauma this plays a role in people rethinking some of their beliefs
  • How hierarchy systems of authority that lack accountability contribute to harm
  • Practical steps for reconnecting with and trusting your body/instincts after experiencing religious trauma
  • The role of purity culture in disconnection from the body and internalized narratives of shame
  • Reassurances for someone who wants to take a step away from their community/church after religious trauma/hurt but feel shame
  • Reassurances for someone who wants to rejoin or be a part of a faith community/church after religious trauma/hurt but feels skeptical
  • and more!
