Hello, and welcome back to The Therapy Sisters Podcast!
In today's episode, The Therapy Sisters discuss purity culture and some of the inherent messages young women internalized about their bodies as a result, including:
-Where shame about the body starts
-How the messaging within purity culture impacts the mind/body/emotion connection
-The "light switch effect" when women get married.
-How consent factors in
-How women's sexuality is largely left out of the conversation
-How young girls who grew up within purity culture are made responsible for the thoughts/actions/desires of men and how that plays out into their future sexual lives and relationships with their own bodies.
....and more!

Welcome back to the Beyond Sacred Scars Podcast with The Therapy Sisters! We're so glad you're here and joining us for these conversations.
We have a guest today, our friend Kelly, who discusses her journey. Hers could have led to walking away from her faith but instead it solidified her beliefs while continuing to work on unpacking the narratives that were doing some harm to her. Kelly continues to be in worship ministry to this day and is really focused on how she shows up in the world in a loving and authentic way.

Today The Therapy Sisters welcome Beth Green to their podcast! Beth is a licensed school counselor with a big heart and a wonderful story and most importantly, she is Rachel's childhood best friend!
Beth shares her powerful story and how doing all "the right things" left her empty and questioning. She shares her journey towards healing and her wise counsel about how we can engage with our own questions and experiences with curiosity and free of shame, and how we can shed our performative veneers and step into our authenticity. Join us for this inspiring and empowering conversation!
Tune back in next week as The Therapy Sisters continue their discussion by introducing the next narrative they aim to reclaim.

**A quick note: We had some challenges with the audio there at the end so this episode ends abruptly. It does end where the conversation wrapped up, but we understand it may feel sudden and wanted to give a heads up. Still, it doesn’t not detract from Jaymie’s inspiring message.
The Therapy Sisters welcome back friend and fellow clinician, Jaymie Bush. She shares her story of coming up in a legalistic and conservative religious environment, how she internalized narratives about her body and emotions and how she has reclaimed those in adulthood. Jaymie also shares how this impacts her clinical work with women who are on a similar path. Next week we will welcome another story as we continue to elevate women's voices and empower them toward reclamation of their stories. Want to connect? Us too!

Today is a minisode and Charis walks us through how to use the DEAR MAN tool from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to approach conversations where you need to assertively ask for something or say no to something.
Deciding on a boundary is one thing. Communicating it is quite another. It can be challenging to know how to broach these conversations, but this tool provides a helpful framework from which to do so.
To grab a copy of the tool go here.
