Religious Trauma Syndrome: When Church Hurts Your Brain
Have you ever left a church encounter feeling more confused than when you walked in — and wondered if you were the problem? What happened to you has a name. And your brain has been trying to tell you the truth about it all along.
In this episode, counselor and author Elisha walks through the neuroscience of spiritual gaslighting — what it does to your amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and cortisol system — and how to begin rebuilding your mental sanctuary.
Using the R.E.S.T. Framework (Regulate · Experience · Surrender · Trust), this episode gives you practical, somatic tools for recovering your epistemic trust and reconnecting with your own discernment.
✨ This episode includes a guided somatic practice and a closing prayer.
