Wow, the advice about checking in with your body is so valuable. And how she draws that out with her thread of questions. The last two churches I attended, I left when I physically couldn’t bring myself to going back—I didn’t have a list of reasons or critiques, just wordless terror. I really hadn’t learned to listen to my body, and I wonder what my experience would have been like if I had been able to tune into its early notes of danger, rather than letting it build to panic.
Thank you for sharing that, Shaina! Checking in with our bodies is such a valuable thing, and it's so easy to miss sometimes. Cheers to healing and safe places!
Thank you, Carolyn!
