Stubborn Love

Embrace Your Desires and Rekindle Your Relationships | With Catherine Quiring, LMHC & Self-Trust Coach


Listen Later

Shutting down parts of yourself disconnects your from relationships. Learn how healing religious trauma can strengthen your bonds.

Catherine Quiring helps exvangelicals learn to trust their desires and reconnect to their inner wisdom.  She also helps people-pleasers learn to trust themselves and recenter themselves at the helm of their lives.  Catherine loves this life-changing work of therapy and healing and feels so privileged that she gets to spend her days doing this.


Main points from the show:

Catherine discusses the obstacles that hinder self-trust and reconnecting with our inner selves. They highlight three main teachings from growing up in evangelical circles: distrust of our bodies, negative view of desires, and prioritizing trust in God over ourselves.

Learn how to heal through embodied practices and movement meditations.

We also chat about the negative impact of self-doubt and mistrust of personal desires in a Christian environment, as well as the weaponization of scripture.

Shifting the script to trusting desires, embracing pleasure, and finding a balance between religious practices and personal enjoyment can be the light at the end of the tunnel.
