I sit down with Emily to have an honest and raw conversation surrounding purity culture and the harmful impacts on mental health. Emily is a therapist who specializes in complex trauma (CPTSD) and religious trauma. As two queer therapists we also talk about the harmful impacts specifically toward the LGBTQ+ community. Emily provides a detailed history of purity culture and we both are able to share about our personal stories with religious trauma.

Emily talks about her healing journey and incorporating embodiment practices. She also shares additional resources as well. 

At the end I get real about how this conversation has impacted my inner child (oooopsss, I didn't mean to cry lol!) Thank you so much for the honest conversation, Emily!
