Therapy + Theology with Carley Marcouillier LifeAudio

In today’s episode, I have the opportunity to discuss the process of reconstructing an embodied faith with Amanda Waldron, Faith Deconstruction & Reconstruction Coach and Clinical Social Worker. She practices at the intersection of mental health, social work, and theology through coaching, consulting, and providing support to Christians and communities who are wrestling with big doubts and questions and hope to stay within the Christian faith while finding more ease and wonder in the process. We discuss some of the challenges that come with facing our questions within the faith and holding the tension between what we once believed and growing in awareness of how our faith is an embodied process of growing and changing. Amanda walks us through defining deconstruction and reconstruction, and provides steps for creating safety and what to expect in the process of rebuilding an embodied connection with God.

Today’s episode is part two of my interview with Dr. Camden Morgante on the topic of purity culture and recovery from toxic forms of purity messages that promote shame and disembodiment. After identifying the impact of messages and our personal history, what do we do with our pain and the conflict it can cause in our sexuality and our relationships? This episode explores the work of recovery and discusses a new vision for building sexual ethics that aligns with God’s vision for human flourishing.

Dr. Morgante is a licensed clinical psychologist and coach on purity culture recovery, egalitarianism, and faith reconstruction. Today’s episode focuses on defining purity culture and differentiating it from a biblical formation for sexual ethics. We discuss the contributing factors to the rise of the purity culture movement and the myths it has left in its wake. Dr. Camden offers simple steps to identify purity culture’s impact and ways to reconnect with the healthy sexuality that God created us to embody.

This week on the podcast we are reflecting on embodiment from a leadership perspective. In a world that feels at times so divided and deeply wounded, how can we begin to lead with a posture of humility and curiosity? Based on a training for church volunteers, I outline the definition of trauma-informed care and explore how embodied strategies through 3 archetypes: 

The Wounded Healer 

The Empathic Witness 

The Emotional Coach 

I discuss each of these roles and their embodiment of trauma-informed care which can help provide strategies for any area of influence with compassion and awareness of the importance of safety, trust, empowerment, choice, and collaboration.

If you have ever asked the question about what happens when your feelings conflict with your faith? You are not alone. Today I have the opportunity to share the mic with my friend, Taylor Murray as she shares her story of learning to reconnect with her body and faith in a new way. 

We define embodiment as “being present in your body” and explore how we have learned disembodiment to survive. Additionally, we discuss the messages that have directly or indirectly taught us to deny emotions and distrust the body’s data. We then explore simple practices for developing awareness of the body, listening to the emotions as the pathway back to God and His presence.
