Spirituality should never cost you your voice. And sacredness should never require self-erasure.

In this tender and deeply honest episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt explore how our religious upbringing can shape our nervous system, our sense of self, and the way we define worth, love, and suffering. Whether you were raised in a rigid tradition, a high-demand spiritual environment, or are simply beginning to question inherited beliefs, you are not alone.

This conversation isn’t about rejecting all faith. It’s about reclaiming the sacred in a way that honors your truth.

You’ll learn:

• How early religious messaging impacts identity, body image, and emotional regulation
• The psychological and physical effects of religious trauma and spiritual guilt
• Why “negative spiritual coping” contributes to anxiety, shame, and disconnection
• How to redefine spirituality in a way that heals, rather than harms
• Tools to begin the process of inner reclamation rituals, journaling, and reparenting the soul

Backed by research. Held in compassion.
Because healing doesn’t require you to abandon faith, it invites you to expand it.
