The Spiritual Iceberg: Unpacking Hidden Traumas in Faith Communities
Something hurt you inside the church — but you can't quite name it. In this episode, we go layer by layer through the Spiritual Iceberg: from visible spiritual abuse and purity culture wounds, all the way down to generational spiritual trauma and identity dissolution. If you've ever left a faith community carrying something you couldn't explain, or if you're still inside one and something feels wrong — this episode gives you language, and it gives you a path forward.
🌿 Topics covered: spiritual bypassing, toxic theology, shame-based theology, spiritual gaslighting, betrayal trauma, nervous system dysregulation, religious trauma recovery, the R.E.S.T. framework
