In this episode, Bri converse's with Lindsay Lockett, exploring her journey through nervous system healing and trauma. Raised in a challenging environment within evangelical Christianity, Lindsay reveals how her background of emotional neglect and abuse shaped her life. Over time, she began questioning her deeply held beliefs, leading to a deconstruction of her faith. Her difficult journey through severe anxiety, PTSD, and ultimately healing involved therapy and an exploration of emotional patterns inherited from her mother. Lindsay shares tools for nervous system regulation, the importance of awareness, and improving relationships, like her marriage, by addressing abandonment triggers. Through her storytelling, she emphasizes mindfulness and the significance of understanding one's own emotional and physical sensations to foster healing and evolve beyond past traumas.
