Why You Feel Disconnected

from Life, Death & The Space Between with Dr. Amy Robbins

All trauma is spiritual trauma. It severs the impulse to reach for wonder, connection, and meaning—the very essence of our soul. In this episode, Dr. Hillary McBride, a leading voice on embodiment and spiritual trauma, redefines how we understand healing. We explore the holes trauma leaves in our souls, why the body is the portal back to our spirituality, and a simple yet profound practice (heart rate sensing) that can unlock your intuition and reconnect you to yourself. This is a conversation about the space between life and death, and the path back to who you really are.00:00 The Core Wound: Trauma as a Spiritual Severing03:36 What is the "Space Between" Life and Death?05:18 The Many Deaths We Live Before We Die08:19 How Spiritual Trauma is Diagnosed in the Therapy Room13:19 Defining Spirituality vs. Religion16:27 Spiritual Trauma: Severing the Drive for Wonder19:47 Why Spirituality is the Antidote to Trauma23:28 The Risk of Spiritual Bypassing and a Grounded Path Back26:09 Rehabilitating Therapy to Heal the Soul30:34 A Case Study in Spiritual Flourishing44:20 How to Embody: Interoception and Heart Rate Sensing51:23 Where to Find Dr. Hillary McBrideLEARN MORE ABOUT HILLARY·        Website: [HillaryLMcBride.com](http://www.hillaryl McBride.com)·        Instagram: @hillaryleanamcbride·        Books: The Wisdom of Your Body, Practices for Embodied Living, Holy HurtJOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.
