Be Heard: Empower Yourself

Erica and Mimi discuss forms of manipulation. 

Turn Spiritual Wounds Into Wisdom

Erica Bonham is passionate about walking with clients through the messy, but beautiful process of healing and remembering their true nature, which is that they are always and already enough, loveable, worthy and connected to every living thing on this planet just as they are.

 How does spiritual trauma impact mental health and healing?

  What are some signs of religious abuse, and how can individuals begin to heal from it?

 How can people reclaim their spirituality after experiencing spiritual gaslighting?

  What role does nervous system regulation play in spiritual healing?

  How can therapy help individuals navigate toxic religious environments?

Instead of fixing peoples’ messes, Bronwyn’s goal is to elicit feelings people are most ashamed to have, such as hatred and rage. She knows that even though feelings are invisible, they don’t evaporate, but store away in our bodies until processed.

According to Bronwyn, these feelings haunt us and cause mental and physical illness until we express them into words with someone who can hear and validate them. She especially loves playing midwife in this way, helping her clients – and now, her podcast listeners – externalize painful feelings once and for all. She has experienced success in helping people break free of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, even psychosis, by reconnecting them to their anger, and healing their relationship with anger, and with themselves.
