In this episode of my show Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I’m exploring a theme that comes up again and again in our community and inside my 160-Hr Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women® certification: spiritual bypassing. This isn’t a criticism of spirituality - far from it. It’s a call to honour it on a deeper level. I share how bypassing can show up as “love and light,” premature forgiveness, or jumping straight to mindset and meditation while skipping the real needs of the body, emotions, and boundaries.
In this episode I introduce you to my Integrated Soma-Psyche-Soul Coaching Method©, especially Step One: Embrace - the part so many approaches miss. You’ll leave with language, a short somatic practice, and reflective prompts to help you meet your experience honestly and move forward with dignity and choice.
In this episode I share:
What spiritual bypassing is - and why it shows up in healing spaces
How “high vibes only,” quick reframes, and premature forgiveness can harm regulation and repair
The nervous-system logic behind bypassing - why it brings short-term relief but long-term stuckness
Step One of my Integrated Soma-Psyche-Soul Coaching Method© based on safety and presence first
A short somatic practice to come back to what’s real in your body, emotions, and needs
Ethical facilitation notes for practitioners: boundaries, repair, scope, and consent
If this resonates and you want to deepen your capacity to hold truly embodied, ethical, trauma-informed spaces, I’d love to welcome you into the next cohort of the 160-Hour Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women® certification.
