Many women carry wounds from religious upbringings or rigid systems that have disconnected them from their bodies, voices, and inner wisdom. Woman, Embodied offers practical, body-based tools to break free from shame and reclaim body agency. Licensed therapist Chrissy Powers blends memoir, therapeutic insight, and actionable exercises.
Powers charts her personal journey from shame and disembodiment to radical self-trust and spiritual reclamation. Through Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy, and psychedelic-assisted modalities, readers receive a roadmap that honors the wisdom of the body and the sacred feminine. The book offers guidance on healing trauma without abandoning spirituality.
Listeners will also discover: embodiment practices that use the body as a tool for healing through self-awareness, mindfulness, connection, and self-regulation; practical exercises for developing self-trust and reclaiming spiritual authority after leaving high-control religious environments; insights into psychedelic-assisted therapy and expanded states of consciousness for trauma healing and spiritual exploration; tools for navigating spiritual deconstruction while staying connected to authentic spirituality and progressive spiritual communities; and strategies for reclaiming joy, body agency, and the sacred feminine after experiences of religious or cultural trauma.
Perfect for women aged thirty to fifty-five engaged in healing from religious trauma or rigid belief systems, Woman, Embodied also serves therapists, coaches, spiritual guides, and mental health professionals seeking body-based approaches to support clients through spiritual deconstruction and trauma recovery.
