Episode Summary
Join us for a profound exploration of healing religious trauma through the body (or somatically).
Featuring insightful conversations with Liz Milani and Erica Webb. Liz, a former pastor and pastor’s kid, shares her journey of navigating an involuntary deconstruction of faith. Leading her to create a supportive community for others on similar paths. Erica, a somatic exercise coach and counsellor, brings her expertise on how purity culture and teachings of bodily mistrust contribute to a disconnection from the body’s inherent wisdom. Together, we discuss the long-term impacts of religious trauma and the importance of reconnecting with and processing trauma through bodily awareness and mindful movement.
