131: When Science Isn’t Enough and Spirituality Doesn’t Feel Safe

In this episode, I sit down with Seattle-based holistic therapist Casey Stevens to explore how blending traditional psychology with ancient energy practices opens doors that science alone can't reach. We dive into why Western psychology's labels and linear methods can feel claustrophobic, how spirituality offers the expansive freedom our healing requires, and what to do when religious trauma makes the word "God" itself triggering. ✨ Topics Covered ➡️ The limitations of Western psychology and what spirituality uniquely offers in the healing journey ➡️ Rebuilding trust with deeper connection after religious trauma or spiritual injury ➡️ Why nervous system regulation must come before any other healing modality can work ➡️ The fascinating science behind near-death experiences and what happens in our final moments ➡️ How to use your body as a compass to discern what's true and safe for you ———————————————————————— Love Note From Becky Aste: Here’s the replay link for UNSPOKEN!  https://tinyurl.com/BeckyAsteUNSPOKEN I’d love to hear from you!
