In this episode, I’m diving deep into the intersection of trauma and spirituality, and why so much of what we see in the modern spiritual space can be deeply harmful, especially for trauma survivors.
I explore how spiritual bypassing shows up in well-meaning practices, how analyzing our pain without actually feeling it keeps us stuck, and why healing isn’t about avoiding the shadow, it’s about moving through it, fully embodied.
You’ll hear my honest reflections on the spiritual “positivity-only” trend, the danger of working with untrained practitioners, and the transformative power of truly trauma-informed practices that allow us to cry, grieve, scream, shake, and finally shift the patterns that keep repeating.
This one’s raw, real, and a call to stop sugarcoating healing, and instead, do the work that actually changes lives.
