When God feels silent in your darkest season, it doesn't mean He's abandoned you. In this powerful interview, Elisha sits down with Rebel Heasley — nurse leader, survivor, and thriver — to talk about what happens when an abusive relationship isolates you from everyone, including God.Rebel shares her journey through coercive control, the isolation from family, friends, and her Lutheran church community, and the faith crisis that followed. Together, they explore the clinical neuroscience behind spiritual disconnection — how narcissistic abuse triggers nervous system dysregulation, why dorsal vagal shutdown feels like God's absence, and why "just pray more" is spiritual bypassing when your vagus nerve is frozen.This isn't visualization — this is physiology. And the silence you felt wasn't God leaving. It was your body protecting you the way He designed it to.🌿 WHAT WE COVER:• Coercive control and how abuse escalation leads to isolation — even from church• The faith crisis: when Lutheran deconstruction meets trauma• Dorsal vagal shutdown: the neuroscience of "God feels distant"• The fawn response and how spiritual performance masks survival• Safe Testimony: a guided somatic practice for trauma survivors• "Your past is NOT your potential" — Rebel's keynote message• Scripture breath prayer from Psalm 46:10💙 ABOUT REBEL HEASLEY:Dr. Rebel Heasley is a keynote speaker, nurse leader, and educator who uses faith, resilience, and authentic storytelling to encourage others to find hope in difficult seasons, trust God's purpose, and courageously step into the life He has prepared for them.

When your body won't calm down — when you've tried every breathing technique and your nervous system is still stuck — you need tools that go deeper. In this episode, I'm giving you five faith-based nervous system regulation tools that most therapists don't teach and most pastors don't know.These aren't top-down tools that require your mind to be calm before your body follows. These are bottom-up practices that start in the body — through interoception, proprioception, the felt sense,and the somatic completion of protective reflexes. Each one is grounded in clinical neuroscience and paired with a scriptural anchor, because the God who designed your nervous system also left you a pattern for peace in His Word.In this episode:Tool 1: Pendulation — swinging attention between distress and resource (Somatic Experiencing)Tool 2: Interoceptive Anchoring — training your body to sense its own internal signalsTool 3: The Felt Sense Dialogue — accessing the body's pre-verbal knowing (Gendlin's Focusing)Tool 4: Gravity Anchoring (Root Regulation) — letting the ground hold you through proprioceptive releaseTool 5: Somatic Boundary Practice (The Push-Away) — completing the body's protective reflexPlus a guided breathing exercise, a prayer for nervous system healing, and a 7-day challenge to help you discover which tool your body needs most.If you've tried grounding, mindfulness, and breathing and your body is still dysregulated — this episode is for you.

And you're not losing your faith.In this episode of Elisha's Space, counselor and author Elisha explores the rarely-discussed intersection of perimenopause nervous system dysregulation and faith deconstruction — and why these two experiences don't just happen at the same time. They are neurologically connected.What you'll learn:• How estrogen modulates the vagus nerve and GABA — and why perimenopause disrupts your nervous system's ability to evaluate theology clearly • Why perimenopause anxiety can feel like a spiritual crisis (and how to tell the difference) • The clinical reason a dysregulated nervous system cannot accurately assess spiritual truth • How to apply the R.E.S.T. Framework to the dual crisis of perimenopause and faith transition • A guided somatic breath practice for vagal tone activation — specifically designed for women in midlife • The biblical story of Elijah and what his cave experience reveals about God's response to our dysregulation • The 7-Day Midlife Reset Challenge: morning recognition, extended exhale practice, and regulated theological reflectionThis episode is for the woman who has been a woman of faith her entire life — and who now wakes up at 3 a.m., heart racing, wondering if God is still there. It's for the woman whose doctor says "perimenopause," whose pastor says "spiritual dryness," and who is standing in the middle of both, wondering what is true.Here's what is true: your nervous system and your theology are not separate.

What does it look like to spend nine years inside a cult — and not realize it until a decade after you leave? Today's guest, Paul Cooke — a former member of the Children of God and Harvard PhD — joins Elisha for an intimate conversation about spiritual deception, cult recovery, and what it actually takes to trust yourself again. Paul left Brown University in 1967, searching for truth. By December 1969, he had joined what he believed was a community of traveling Christian believers. He would spend the next nine years inside the Children of God, one of the most well-documented high-control groups in the U.S., led by David Berg — a man Paul describes as "a charming deceiver, a wolf in sheep's clothing." In this episode, we explore: • How high-control groups target sincere, spiritually hungry people • The psychology of belonging that makes a cult feel like home • What cognitive dissonance feels like from the inside • Why cult exit grief is real — even when leaving means freedom • The long journey from spiritual deception back to discernment Paul's memoir, How Did This Happen to You, speaks directly to our cultural crisis of truth and untruth — and to every person who has ever asked themselves: "Why didn't I see it?" Whether you've survived spiritual abuse, a high-control group, or a community that used love as control — this episode is for you. 📖 Paul's memoir: How Did This Happen to You | Hobbes and Christianity (Rowman & Littlefield) 🌿 Work with Elisha: → Counseling: Restoring You Christian Counseling

Is somatic therapy biblical — or is it New Age? In this episode, Elisha — a licensed counselor, author, and follower of Christ — walks through what somatic therapy actually is, what it isn't, and what Scripture says about the body you've been told to distrust.

You'll learn the clinical science behind somatic therapy, the biblical theology of the body, and a guided somatic practice — the Body Check Prayer — that integrates nervous system awareness with prayer. This isn't visualization. This is physiology — redeemed.Resources: R.E.S.T. Framework Guide → Download Guide Counseling inquiries → Book Initial Consultation
