Episode 74

Have you ever wondered how our relationship with God can be influenced by our family of origin and faith communities?

Join me in a special conversation with Brya Hanan, a licensed marriage and family therapist and life coach, as we explore the often overlooked connection between feeling safe with God and our experiences within our faith communities and families. Discover the importance of safety as the foundation for trust, surrender, and taking risks to fully become who God created us to be.

In this thought-provoking episode, we also discuss the complexities of navigating faith, relationship boundaries, and attachment styles, as well as the role of interior work in our spiritual journeys.

Learn how faith and embodied trauma healing can go hand-in-hand by integrating psychology, neuroscience, and faith in the pursuit of personal growth and a deeper relationship with God.
