Dear Aubrie, When Your Body Remembers: Religious Trauma, Samskaras, and the Nervous System

A listener reaches out after an unexpected conversation with a former bishop leaves her shaken, tearful, and wondering why old wounds still hurt. In this episode, we explore religious trauma through the lenses of Samskara, Polyvagal Theory, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Why does the body react long after the mind has moved on? What happens when old emotional grooves are triggered? And how can we cultivate peace, boundaries, and self-trust without needing to prove our experience to anyone?
