102. Trauma Informed Spirituality and the Problem with New Age Bullshit
from Deep Within with Marina Triner, The Compassionate Somatic Coach · host Marina Triner
In this episode, I’m diving deep into the intersection of trauma and spirituality, and why so much of what we see in the modern spiritual space can be deeply harmful, especially for trauma survivors.I explore how spiritual bypassing shows up in well-meaning practices, how analyzing our pain without actually feeling it keeps us stuck, and why healing isn’t about avoiding the shadow, it’s about moving through it, fully embodied.You’ll hear my honest reflections on the spiritual “positivity-only” trend, the danger of working with untrained practitioners, and the transformative power of truly trauma-informed practices that allow us to cry, grieve, scream, shake, and finally shift the patterns that keep repeating.This one’s raw, real, and a call to stop sugarcoating healing, and instead, do the work that actually changes lives.❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥Join HeartSpace monthly community with a free trial: https://marinayt.com/community❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rootedFollow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/marina.y.t Top Episode Quotes:“You’re attracting situations not with your mind—you’re attracting them with your body and your nervous system.”“Healing isn’t about bypassing the pain—it’s about going back and finally feeling what couldn’t be felt before.”“I’m so allergic to dishonesty and avoidance, especially when it’s dressed up as spiritual wisdom.”“People don’t want to do the hard emotional work, so they spiritually bypass and say, ‘just think positive.’“Yes, trauma brings lessons—but if you don’t feel it, you won’t heal it.
