TW: Trauma/PTSD,  emotional/verbal/psychological abuse, purity culture,  sexual assault/abuse, manipulation, religious trauma, church abuseThis week we chat with Katie Hillery (she/her) of @embodiedandthriving to talk about religious deconstruction and trauma! I felt this would be a great transition from last week's episode to give you all some tools and validation in your healing processes.If you'd like to follow Katie and her journey, her IG tag is @embodiedandthriving . She hosts a community to process through deconstruction and connect with other people who may share similar backgrounds! I also mentioned I would tag some other wonderful deconstruction communities if you are looking for somewhere to start, so here they are: @godisgrey , @gracebaldridge , @deconstructingpurityculture , @religioustraumainstitute , @iamjamieleefinch , @deconstructionist_poetry , @reclamationcollective , & @exvangelicalbookclub Katie & I also mention a book about trauma called "The Body Keeps Score" by Bessel Van Der Kolk. Here is the link to that: https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-scoreMindful Minds is a podcast centered on mindfulness and intentionality.
