Reconnecting to the Body After Purity Culture with Allison Rose and Kate Johnson

Purity culture doesn’t just affect sexuality. It can impact body image, nervous system regulation, self-trust, shame, anxiety, dissociation, and the ability to feel safe in your own body long after leaving evangelicalism.In this conversation, ‪@real_allison_rose‬ and I talk about reconnecting to your body after purity culture, religious trauma, and shame-based Christianity. We discuss healing from purity culture, rebuilding self-trust, somatic healing, deconstruction, embodiment, nervous system healing, and learning to feel safe in yourself again.If you grew up in evangelical culture, church purity teachings, or high-control religion and struggle with guilt, body shame, hypervigilance, or disconnect from yourself — this conversation is for you.Watch the full replay of our live: Reconnecting to the Body After Purity Culture.Kate JohnsonInstagram | TikTok | Threads | BlueskyAllison Rose:Instagram | TikTok | YoutubeQuips and Confessionals is a reader-supported publication.
