Скачать или смотреть Religious Trauma and Broader Visions of Spirituality in Healthcare | How To Be Patient (Ep 27)

This episode felt like a deep exhale. Margaret runs solo today, as she sat down with Dr. Hillary McBride—psychologist, author, and researcher—to talk about embodiment, trauma, and the radical act of tuning back into ourselves.

We talked about what it means to feel your feelings in your body, why disconnection often begins as protection, and how pleasure, presence, and play can be part of the healing process. It’s about more than coping. It’s about coming home.

This one surprised me, and stayed with me. I think it might do the same for you.


Takeaways:

Embodiment isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.

Disconnection from the body is often a trauma response we learned for survival.

Reconnecting with your body can feel foreign, even frightening—and still be worth it.

Healing doesn’t always mean “feeling better”—sometimes it just means feeling.

Your body can be a place of safety, wisdom, and even joy—but you don’t have to rush to get there.
