What happens when the very institutions meant to guide your spiritual journey become sources of deep trauma?

Former Buddhist nun Amma Thanasanti shares her journey of spending nearly three decades in monasteries, only to discover she was trapped in a system that used sacred teachings to justify harmful patriarchal structures.

In this episode:

- How spiritual abuse uniquely impacts our sense of meaning and identity, making it particularly difficult to recover from compared to other forms of trauma

- The crucial difference between genuine spiritual teachings and distorted systems that exploit vulnerability for power and control

- Practical somatic healing techniques including grounding exercises, nervous system regulation, and safe anger release methods that help trauma survivors reconnect with their bodies
