    Sep 5 2025

    Jenny McGrath is a Somatic Psychotherapist and Movement Educator at Indwell Movement, a platform offering online somatic education, movement classes, and healing courses that integrate body‑based approaches with trauma awareness and social justice. She is a licensed mental health counselor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and certified yoga teacher who has spent over a decade researching how movement, dance, and the body can heal trauma and religious sexual shame. Jenny‘s work focuses especially on supporting individuals recovering from purity culture and religious trauma through embodiment, somatic connection, and liberation‑centered healing.

    In this episode…

    Many people raised in purity culture carry unspoken shame, disconnection, and confusion about their bodies well into adulthood. The messages of control and fear can leave lasting imprints on identity, sexuality, and the ability to feel safe in one’s own skin. How do we begin to untangle those patterns and move toward embodied healing?

    According to Jenny McGrath, a licensed mental health counselor, somatic experiencing practitioner, and movement educator, the body itself is the key to reclaiming wholeness. She explains that years of religious conditioning often silence our inner wisdom, leading to dissociation and compliance with oppressive systems. By centering questions like “What are you noticing?” and inviting curiosity about tears, breath, and sensations, Jenny highlights the radical power of listening to the body. She emphasizes that true healing cannot be separated from collective liberation, as marginalized bodies face systemic barriers to safety.

    In this episode of With Intention, Liz Frost sits down with Jenny McGrath, Somatic Psychotherapist and Movement Educator at Indwell Movement, to discuss healing from purity culture through somatic therapy and movement. She explores how religious trauma severs our connection to the body, why abstinence-only education harms consent and sexuality, and the role of embodiment in resisting systems of oppression. Jenny also shares insights from her upcoming book on purity culture and white saviorism.

    Some people spend years in therapy without ever truly feeling seen. For LGBTQ+ clients especially, therapy can often feel like another space where they must explain, justify, or tone themselves down. But what happens when therapy is built from the ground up to affirm who they are?

    According to Liz Frost, a licensed therapist and mental health advocate, healing becomes possible when queer clients no longer carry the burden of educating their therapist.

The impact is profound: lives are not only saved, but deeply reshaped through connection, clarity, and compassion. Liz brings a trauma-informed lens to the clinical process, advocating for client autonomy in everything from gender-affirming letters to long-term identity exploration.

The impact is subtle yet pervasive, influencing how people navigate desire, safety, and identity. Liz also explores how trauma-informed therapy requires more than surface-level understanding. It demands cultural competence, lived experience, and deep presence. By helping clients redefine safety, process generational wounds, and reconnect with their internal compass, Liz supports them in reclaiming who they are beyond what happened to them.

    In this episode…

    Some wounds run deeper than words. Even after years of therapy, some people still feel stuck, unsure why healing hasn’t fully arrived. Could the key lie beyond the physical — in the subtle, unseen layers of energy and soul?

    According to Claire Newcomer, a multidimensional healer who blends intuitive energy work with body-based modalities, true healing happens when we treat the whole being and not just the symptoms.
