#42 - Healing Religious Trauma with Sarah Chann

“How do you get over God trauma aka religious trauma so you can have an intimate relationship with the divine again?” In answer to this listener's question, Cara invited a very special guest, Sarah Chann, for an intimate and enlightening conversation about dealing with religious trauma and re-establishing a genuine connection with the divine.  Sarah shares her personal journey of dealing with anger towards the divine, her experiences with faith and trauma, and how she came to her ultimate understanding of God as a force of unconditional love. Sarah's work, which is grounded in the body, emphasizes addressing past traumas and unresolved issues that are oftentimes stored in the body. Cara and Sarah discuss the concept of religious or God trauma, and how to overcome it through a deep, intimate relationship with the divine. They also discuss their individual spiritual paths, the concept of God, unconditional love, sin, and their approach to understanding and experiencing the divine through nature and their internal sense of spirit. As Cara promised in the episode, here’s a guided meditation for Feeling Divine Love. This is an excerpt from a live call.  www.caraviana.com/present3 00:00 Introduction and Meeting Sarah 01:03 The Idea of Inviting Sarah to the Podcast 02:48 Sarah's Unique Approach to Healing 05:02 The Role of Divine in Healing 07:26 Exploring the Concept of Fractures with God 08:56 Sarah's Personal Experience with God and Trauma 26:00 The Misplaced Anger Towards God 30:37 Personification of the Divine 34:47 Understanding Sin and Alignment with God 37:34 Childhood Experiences and Personal Beliefs 44:50 The Fear of God's Rejection 49:01 Finding Connection with the Divine 54:47 The Journey of Healing and Transformation 55:52 The Power of Love and Self-Worth 01:02:30 Final Thoughts and Reflections Looking for a sense of freedom, more peace and less anxiety?  We have gifts for you!
