Dani and Erin interview Laura Rose, a somatic religious trauma coach and expert on healing from attachment wounding and indoctrination. Whether you have religious trauma or experience in religion or not, this conversation provides valuable resources on the impact of trauma and conditioning on our mental, emotional and physical states of being. Laura explains how trauma is any unresolved experience in your nervous system, no matter if it’s some large experience or small, related to religion or not, trauma is unprocessed experiences that are stuck in our bodies. Trauma is somatic, including religious trauma, and if you've ever wondered where to start in somatic trauma recovery, attachment healing, or nervous system regulation, this episode will provide brilliant insight and guidance for a path forward. Key highlights: - Religious trauma like all trauma is unresolved (or unprocessed) experiences that are 'stuck' in our nervous system. Religious trauma comes from things such as harmful indoctrination, which is often coupled with maladaptive coping mechanisms - We acknowledge in this episode that we all have trauma because we're all wired with nervous systems. It's impossible for anyone's nervous system to completely and perfectly process all negative/traumatic experiences we have - We also know and discuss that not all religious experiences lead to trauma or cause it; but in some cases, religious experiences can stunt social skills, by offering conditional love based solely on shared beliefs. This isn't healthy—it's a shortcut that bypasses genuine connections How to reach Laura Rose: www.religioustraumatoolkit.com and laura@religioustraumatoolkit.com
