Episode notes
Body as Indicator of Spiritual Trauma
- Consider the body's response when assessing spiritual trauma, as the mind's perspective may not align with the nervous system's experience.
- Look for patterns of harmful or controlling use of spiritual experiences, alongside physical and emotional responses.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
- Therapists should be attuned to clients' physical cues, like agitation or discomfort, to gauge their window of tolerance.
- Adjust the pace of therapy to match the client's nervous system, building safety and integration for healing.
Bypassing the Body in Trauma
- Unresolved trauma can lead to bypassing bodily signals and prioritizing cognitive narratives, even when harmful.
- The body eventually signals its limits through dysfunction, illness, or emotional distress.
