TW: Trauma/PTSD,  emotional/verbal/psychological abuse, purity culture,  sexual assault/abuse, manipulation, religious trauma, church abuse

This week we chat with Katie Hillery (she/her) of @embodiedandthriving to talk about religious deconstruction and trauma! I felt this would be a great transition from last week's episode to give you all some tools and validation in your healing processes.


If you'd like to follow Katie and her journey, her IG tag is @embodiedandthriving . She hosts a community to process through deconstruction and connect with other people who may share similar backgrounds!


I also mentioned I would tag some other wonderful deconstruction communities if you are looking for somewhere to start, so here they are:  @gracebaldridge , @deconstructingpurityculture , @religioustraumainstitute , @iamjamieleefinch , @deconstructionist_poetry , @reclamationcollective , & @exvangelicalbookclub


Katie & I also mention a book about trauma called "The Body Keeps Score" by Bessel Van Der Kolk which you can find here.
